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.

This is just pure joy genius

STOP OVER REACTING!

You couldn't make it up..

Does anyone really believe that the Shires would vote for someone with Indian Heritage for PM?

Could the tory leadership race be more depressing? Liz Truss is an intellectual lightweight, a quisling and there is nothing more dangerous than a zealous convert to a cult. The cult of course that I refer to is the ERG Brexit. Sunak is also a right wing, pull up the drawbridge after me, typical selfish Tory of the right wing sort. That he is being portrayed as the left wing choice in the right wing press is a joke. This race is between two far right candidates who will continue the destruction of the union that has been gathering pace for the last 12 years.

Liz has already won this race and her tax policy is not what is going to do it. We know that the Tory party has been hijacked by UKIP Gammons - who have made it their life's work to stop any brown or black people landing on our shores. We know that the tory party membership are generally made up of far right deluded old people - who trend to the right of the MPs who represent them - and in this climate that is saying something. Do we really think a combined gammon and blue rinse of the shires brigade will vote in a person of Indian Heritage? Not for one minute do I think this a possibility. Although they are both awful they will pick to worst of the rotten bunch because they are far right cray cray racist nasty - and of course the polling proves this.

Good grief. Truss for PM? Trade war and UK PLC insolvency in 3..2...1...

Steve Bannon drank his own Kool aid & didn't realize a judge wouldn't buy his talk

For the first time in over two years today I felt happy

Proper happy. Just enjoying life. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Just happy. And it feels grander than a grand mans grand things.

That is all.
