Alex Jones has to pay $45.2 MILLION

For the utter devastation he caused.

Fucked and bankrupt (hopefully)

Huzzah!

They are only 'furious' he said the quiet part out loud.

How the Daily Mail have positioned the New Stateman expose of Sunak (for our American friends - ex Chancellor and currently running to replace BoJo - and positioned a far second in the polls in that race) being exactly who we knew him to be is something else - so as Sunak says this...

Rishi Sunak boasted of taking money from “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns
A leaked video shows the former chancellor saying that Labour “shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas” and that “needed to be undone”.
Emphasis mine

OF COURSE The Daily Mail frames it as this:



Tory fury my lily white irish arse. They have been at this for years. It is not only Sunak, it is all of them, every rotten one of them - and it is a fixture not a bug, but sure there is fury amongst the Tories 👀 Fury that he got caught saying the quiet part out loud. I am sure there was applause on the night about how people have been driven into poverty to fund fixing potholes in the Shires. As Maya Angelou said - paraphrasing - when people show you who they are believe them

As an aside one does wonder who in the Truss campaign leaked it? 🧐 I am going for Kwami - he wants Chancellor very very badly!

Reasonable, rational voters don't like Republicans.

I think Roe might be kicking their arse in the polls.

This is surely not the flex she thinks it is

Is the GOP really so far gone that quoting Hitler a the new norm? This cannot be a vote winner in situation normal...

Jeez Louise the real cost of inflation is through the roof...

Was in Waitrose this morning and bought a particular item from the essentials range. Last week this item was 1.99, today 2.50 - an increase in a week of 25%. How are people on a fixed income supposed to cope? I speak from a position of somewhat privilege, I have a good job, living in the centre of a city means public transport is readily available (no petrol costs) and my energy bills are traditionally very low and so the current increases in energy supply have not impacted as significantly as they will have with others. But what are people supposed to do? Food bank donations are down because people are tightening their own belts - Warm banks are being suggested so that those in energy poverty can pop in somewhere to keep warm in winter. You listen to people calling into radio shows who have had their electricity cut because they cannot feed the meter, wearing indoor coats, only bread and butter to eat... employed people that could not cope last year - and that was before the current shitshow allowed the energy and oil companies to boost profits for shareholders by increasing profits to unsustainable levels for half the country - what on earth are they going to do this year? Inflation at 9% - that would be bad enough - but it is way higher than that for those affected the most by it.

We need a plan or people are going to die, and we have an absent administration and a leadership race that is focused on who can be the most racist, homophobic, transphobic wanker to appeal to the Gammons and the Shires, rather than being serious about any of the issues facing the post Brexit Britain they have created. It is shocking.

It's true. He has buried Ivana on his golf course to cheat on taxes.

STOP OVER REACTING!

Far right manoeuvres on both sides of the pond over the last decades has brought us closer to authoritarian rule that at time since the post world war 2 liberal settlement. The highway to hell that is fascism is littered with the corpses of those who did not overact, or as I would put - act - in a timely manner. We need to act, right now. Maybe it will not end up the way they plan, if we are lucky, but it is safer to overreact and be mistaken, than to be passive and complacent – and be right as human and democratic rights are stripped away. And lets face us we have not been overreacting - their overreach and power plays is very very clear...

But don't ''overreact'' people. Sheesh.
