From the court’s opinion today blocking Hegseth’s attempt to discipline Mark Kelly: “As Bob Dylan once famously said, ‘You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.’ Our retired vets deserve more respect from our govt, and our Constitution demands they receive it!”

I get why Matt posts this nonsense every day, outrage pays.
None of this is on the current government.
Open borders? Brexit.
Soft-on-crime chaos? Tories.
Highest taxes since the 1940s? Tories.
Shafted pensioners? Tories.
Farmers driven to despair? Brexit.
Hotels for migrants? Brexit + Tory failure.

Yesterday Labour voted in favour of plans that will increase funding for local councils, move to muti-year funding plans so councils are better able to plan ahead, right of 90% of SEND debt and increase funding to tackle homelessness.
Tories, Lib Dems & Reform voted against. The Greens abstained.

SO TRUE and so relevant unto today🤔
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
