absolutely fine to take mechanically recovered abattoir floor sweepings, munge them together with soya based bulking agents, stick it together with some sort of glue made of eyelids and call it a burger or a sausage, just as long as something died in the process.

6. But again and again, legislators seem determined to make idiots of themselves on behalf of powerful industries. They are meant to represent our interests, not those of the lobbyists, but that message seems to have got lost. Vote for those who represent the people, not the money. 6/6

4. If legislators are to insist on food literalism, they should at least be consistent. There's no dinosaur in turkey dinosaurs (and not much turkey). If a vegan hotdog is ruled out on the grounds that it contains no meat, the meat version should also be ruled out, as it contains no dog. 4/6

Maybe. But hard to dodge the reality that a Tory/Reform pact is a brand-trashing move for both parties. Tories have to admit that, yes, they’re quite racist too. And Reform has to concede that they’re not a new way of doing politics. At. All.
Might as well make the rosettes dogshit brown.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’
The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

Farage. This snake oil grifter and liar, millionaire "man of the people, is largely responsible for Brexit - which broke Britain's economy.
He's toxicity on steroids and not a friend to 'ordinary' British people.

One big thing weakening the Brexit debate is that many Remainers are still holding out for a grovelling apology from Leavers, and take every opportunity to mock their stupidity.
Even people who have changed their minds will push back HARD against being called stupid.

This is the elephant in the room that is so big nobody wants to go in there. If Labour was a people's party they would listen to the people then at the very least have an open and honest discussion with the electorate. Instead they are led by a 'deaf, dumb and blind' leadership led by Starmer.

The budget and Covid have shown, for Chris, how far the UK is from getting out of its Brexit impasse.
Like my other posts today, that requires humility, clear-eyed acknowledgement of what this means, and being positive about Europe.
Far too many are not there.

But UK membership to SM/CU/EU can't be a party political issue.
Until the English political right recovers its sanity and chooses to recognise economic facts: empirical reality: and objective truth again, Brexit stays and the UK will be outside the European Union.

Thx again for voicing the truth 🙏🏼.
Brexit was the biggest disaster we could have had.
We’re now the pariahs of Europe, international status has tanked, and we’re largely irrelevant.
Yet some are so stupid (it’s true) that they’d still vote for the architect of their country’s ruin: Farage.

The loss of FoM is catastrophic for UK business and every single UK passport holder, but politicians seem afraid to mention it.
Is that because of the media?

Johnson must be prosecuted, along with others who gave contracts to their friends. Thousands of people lost their lives unnecessary because the PM and Cabinet members saw the pandemic as an opportunity to stuff their pockets with gold. The law applies to everyone.
