I like this site enormously… it’s my only port of call now. 👍
I am, however, still searching for its centre.
Whilst all the lists are useful… I still don’t quite know where to go to get to the heart of it all, the place where you don’t miss a thing.
Summat’s a tiny bit missing.
Don’t know what. 🤷♂️

MPs second jobs are institutionalised bribery. They should be banned.
Prime duty of MPs is to serve the people, not corporations or their bank accounts.
Preventing MPs from selling their souls to the highest bidder is a necessary step in democratising parliament

Turns out you can be the richest man in the world *and* so cravenly hungry for adulation that, when all else fails, you’ll beg for it from the very worst of your fellow humans. Musk’s interest in the U.K. is directly proportionate to the volume of our far right Twitter. The ultimate simp symbiosis.

Here' an idea ... 👇👇👇
The EU and UK are set to review the Brexit deal in 2026.
So why not hold a new Brexit referendum before that, in 2025? That way, the government can find out exactly what the public's position is after 10 years of Brexit.
