I had Paris Brest for breakfast this morning (not a euphemism!) and honestly, there’s no coming back from that, is there?

Staggeringly, Jenrick is a qualified solicitor.

And married to the daughter of Holocaust survivors…and we all know what happened to Jews (and dissidents) when Hitler turned the German judiciary into political puppets.

So shame SHAME on him.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

Make no mistake - not one defection to Reform is about policy or leadership. It’s about hanging on for all it’s worth to the prospect of a job. These defectors - no matter which party they are coming from - have all the fvcking morals and principles of an alley cat!

Everyone’s chasing Reform voters, now polling at 34%. But why is no major party appealing to the rest, the clear majority that Reform can never beat?

What a paradox of modern British politics, a system that rewards fear of a minority more than faith in the majority.

Robert Jenrick was so offended by the thought of children asylum seekers being less scared when cartoon pictures were painted on wallls of an immigration centre that he ordered them painted over- when you can treat children in that way you are not a good person. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...

Paintings were considered too welcoming at Kent centre for lone children arriving in UK

What worries me about this speech by Trump is that the vast majority of serving US military are very conservative. I know this because I spend a lot of time in America and specifically, I spend a lot of time on Coronado Island - home to one of the largest US naval bases at 57,000 acres.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

Unless, of course, you’re an uneducated right wing cvnt yourself and you’d rather fvck up everybody’s life including your own because you’re fucking twat.

Look at who wants us to leave the ECHR. If it’s right wing extremists you know that the majority of the people in this country won’t benefit.
Wake up for Christ’s sake and stop sleepwalking towards your own demise.

I’ve got an idea Kemi and Keir - instead of trying to outfvck the fvckery of Reform or Trump, why don’t you try sone unification policies, some nice words and an opportunity to bring back hope?

Or is that asking too much?

When my daughter finished high school, she had to give a speech. She began reading from her prepared notes: I want to talk about my mother and the wonderful influence she’s had on my life. She is a shining example of parenthood.
She then stopped and the audience thought she was going to cry as she
