Kemi Badenoch and the Daily Telegraph are bloody rat-lickers and deserve to be treated as such. They're simply too stupid to understand the difference between liberty and selfishness, between independence and recalcitance

This month's Green Drinks. 15 of us hanging out and getting to know the new members

Fir anyone who's just joined the Green Party, this is the next step: come and meet some liked minded people 😀
About a dozen people of various ages sit at a L-shaoed table chatting. Behind them is a large painting. The walls are green and the floor is wooden. This is clearly a pub or cafe of some kind.

I've always wondered why Reform UK hates British culture so much. They use the word "DOGE" but that's the American term - the British term is "austerity" - why don't they use the British terms, why do they use a foreign one?

I could not disagree eith Lord Carey more. There's no point in the Archbishop of Canterbury having a voice if they don't use it.

@bloodontheclocktower.com has given my cat a reason to look smug today
A calico cat sits on a windowsill. In front of her is a box for a product called The Carousel. It's a brown, cardboard box with a purple label. The cats eyes are squinted to handle the height sunlight coming in through the window behind her, giving her a smug expression
