A reminder that Kruger is a fundamentalist Evangelical Christian. Reportedly.
Reform MP Danny Kruger on pornstar/provocateur Bonnie Blue announcing her support for the party: "We’ll take votes from wherever we can get them, we want all the support we can get. Quite like Bonnie Blue."
Says party isn't "going to be fussy, we're not going to be judgemental" about Reform voters

The Deep State is a conspiracy theory.
I know we all find Truss amusing, but I find it deeply concerning that you've got an actual former Prime Minister even saying this stuff.

I feel compelled to write a review thread 🧵 for The Liz Truss Show because in the madness of the content, other aspects - vital aspects - are being missed.

I admit that I find one aspect of Truss fascinating. Does she see what everyone else sees? At times I am convinced that she is genuinely oblivious to her own absurdity. Other times, I think I see, through a vulnerable chink, the pain of someone trapped in their own grift. 10/

There is definitely a mood shift within the UK and without.
Internally, the Brexit disaster is unavoidable; even the Brexiters are owning up; and UKG's budget has not made things better.
Can the UK talk about it?

Brexit was exactly that. A petulant door-slamming. A rejection of cooperation, protection and opportunity for all of us because the wealthy rightwing elites didn’t want to play by shared rules. And knew they could exploit ignorance/prejudice to achieve that.

One of the most difficult things to come to terms with after Brexit is how I no longer identify with my post Brexit country.

Translation of his letter: The markets are so rigged right now that there is absolutely no way to know when the break will come, if ever, which makes taking any position in any asset akin to a game of pin the tale on the donkey.

I think most would agree that the 08 crash and ensuing govt failure to invest on like 0.1% interest rates was very damaging. But that doesn't have the effect of cancelling out the negative impacts of Brexit. Damaged recovery, SME failures, unemployment, degradation of services etc don't show up here

Yes, but at the moment they get that relief on the pension going in. But on the way out they would get the annual tax free allowance and lower rate band so wouldn’t pay 40% on all (for some it would be any). If you take the 40% relief away then tax wise it’s better to put in stocks outside a pension

Gormless, empty vessels with corruption at its very heart. As well as a strong will to drive us into chaos and hatred. So they could further profit.
Still they carry on...

The odd thing about these ceremonies compared with those I remember from the 20thC (say Clinton in 1995, or Mandela) is that there's not even a tiny squeak of personal humility from any of the major participants. It's striking.
