Johnson is Speaker for House of Reps. Nearest equivalent in UK would be PM. As majority leader he's not neutral. In the words of @sethabramson.bsky.social "he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy"

Ah, that reminds me of a similar image of some grape-gathering hedgehogs! There's a wonderful animation that goes with them...

Very revealing of a Christian (Calvinist) mindset who wants everyone to “turn to Christ” but who is obsessed with Mosaic law and predictably sex, Pride parades, abortion, adultery (stoning? hey, why not!) etc. Wilson’s "Christendom 2.0" (1.0 had bugs!) would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous

To be fair, she’s reflecting the view put forward in the Shaping Us Framework launched earlier this year. The main report cites over 230 references. She wrote the foreword and I guess she should have left it at that

Tories are living in alternative realities. Jenrick is just a racist nutjob, but even bright young thing Katie Lam is pining for the good old asylum days when it was beautiful ballerinas defecting from Soviet Union

Agree, they're wonderful. Seen them regularly since 2009 - a crazy beautiful singing phenomenon. The group's leader ("spookmeister") Stephen Taberner is a genius

Always loathed the man and never forgotten or forgiven his role in the Brexit disaster...

Copy of post (on Twitter) from UK MP Michael Gove on 6th April 2016 stating that a vote to leave the EU (in forthcoming Referendum) would mean the UK would “hold all the cards”

Photograph of (glum-faced) Michael Gove and Boris Johnson giving a press conference at Vote Leave headquarters in London 24th June 2016, following the result of UK referendum (23rd June) that the UK had voted to leave the EU, for which they had campaigned.

Men have had 10,000 years to lead humanity, and that interminable epoch led to this equally interminable concert.

I think we—I mean men—are officially done.

This concert was our grand finale.

Women—and only women—should lead the world for the next 10,000 years. Let’s see where that gets humanity.

Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Lot of depressing things these days, but the truly most depressing of all is that even Boris Johnson knew the UK had bigger problems, as he explained in *2013* (soon forgotten of course)

Agree. This figure illustrates the real world of people seeking asylum, which the stupid woman dismisses with a silly quip about ballerinas defecting from Soviet Union (sic). She should be ashamed but like so many Tories she lives in another world...

Number of grants of asylum or other forms of humanitarian protection, by refugees' country of origin, in each year since 1989. The height of each 'stream' represents the number of grants of asylum to that nationality in a given year.

Interesting. Back in 2016 Theresa May got a lot of criticism for saying UK must leave #ECHR. I particularly liked remarks from Labour's former Lord Chancellor and Shadow Justice Secretary...
