Lots of comments about the environmental disaster but I feel like we should be more focused on the poor souls who were on board

Right it's a story which is both revealing (speaks to character) but more importantly it's extremely funny

The only point I'll give them is that as soon as he left Labour it turns out absolutely no one cares about anti-Semitism and nor do they care about other bigotries in other parties, there was a straightforward double standard there and it's grim AF

That's real Britain

And yes it is a story that deserves coverage if the leader of a political party is lying to journalists and no the fact that other politicians have done worse doesn't change that. And if you're claiming to be new and different but you're also lying to journalists then people will question it

Not sure why I'm engaging with this but the idea that a journalist can't do a tweet about one topic just because something else important is happening somewhere else is completely insane. Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time?

I'll say one thing for the replies on this: they make clear, as if there was any doubt, where the incredibly annoying online Corbynites have gone.

They took the Queen off the notes. The Queen! Is nothing sacred?

On second thoughts this might be a bad idea.

I overheard someone talking about this series in a pub the other day and had to double take to check it wasn't you ๐Ÿคฃ

Even in November I hate this, the front of the bus needs to say where the bus is going and the bus number, that's what it's for!

They wanted you to give it to them but without touching it because they wanted to touch it first

Are you sure the markets haven't found a leaf that is the wrong colour?

Ballet less so than opera IMV. I really love ballet and I've never felt notably out of place age-wise, plus tickets are way cheaper so it's always been affordable if you've got a head for heights and don't mind a restricted view

Yes and also a lot of new build developments ARE built such that promised investments don't appear and infrastructure DOES take a long time to follow, so the NIMBYs are not wrong to worry about this

Can we just choose the sweet release of death?

But I suspect that the actual answer is that a lot of them are in the DINK phase and aren't able to project to other people

Are they married to bankers? That's what seems to be the issue in the charity sector

I realise you have another nationality so the 'we' works for you but it kinda broke my heart a bit ๐Ÿ’”

I only figured this out at Christmas but it's a game changer

As a Lib Dem I feel good about this in an electoral sense which is a mild silver lining although on the whole I'd probably rather not be bringing my kids up in *gestures*

Yeah I've since googled it again and it was deliberate but it was an exchange rate mechanism thing rather than a let's go organic thing which is why I've misremembered as accidental

And not that the UK domestic political consequences are the main issue but there is no way this is going to reflect well on those advocating joining in and Starmer needs to hold firm on not allowing *anything* offensive from UK bases
