How shit at business do you have to be, to be personally worth 37,000 times the amount an average UK worker will earn in a LIFETIME, and still be incapable of withstanding a tiny tax increase?

- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn
- Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn

What gets more attention?

Feels like quite a few people have been waiting their whole lives for the moment when being openly racist in print is no longer career ending and are determined to make the most of it.

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us…
And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him.
What a monumental piece of shit.

I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.

We despise immigrants for not putting down roots, even as we make sure that it is impossible for them to do so. We do this because we have no idea what we want.

When he first came to power he pledged, explicitly, to kill populism through competence. He no longer speaks in these terms anymore. This week he used to language of populists -elite conspiracy, lurid language, fear of the outsider.

Somehow we are taking the 'opportunity' presented by the attack on the US higher education sector and making ourselves substantially less attractive. I cannot believe the sheer amateur hour nature of this, just because Labour got scared about a few polls and the local elections.

The media make Farage VERY LOUD. While the liberal opposition is given very little airtime at all. Labour has been sucked into the noise, instead of telling its own story, listening to its core voters and acting in the country’s best interests. They risk appealing to absolutely no one.

Reform candidate in St Edmunds is running on pledge to bring ducks back to the Maltings. There’s plenty of ducks there already and elsewhere on the river. We believe in free movement of ducks.

It is indeed bigly excellent.
This episode is so beautiful. It has all the best words. People say it has words so beautiful that they've never known an episode like this. I'm not saying it. Everyone is saying it. They say I am Making Podcasts Great Again.

(Seriously though, it's a relief. It was SO complicated to put together.)
🌺 Persephone I - If You Can't Be Free, Be A Mystery 💀

NEW EPISODE: Persephone has been assigned the story of a victim, but bears none of the hallmarks. Why has this magnificent Queen been reduced to a Page 3 girl?

OR you could -

admit publicly that Trump is an idiot and you made a mistake;
check into detox for a couple of months;
apologise to your daughter;
