Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

There is no US trade deal.

I repeat: there is no US trade deal.

Starmer and Trump have jumped the gun. A lot.

All that has been agreed is the broad parameters of where the discussions on a trade deal should focus.

After the local elections this is the current state of play of Councillors in the UK. Don't be fooled by our Farage supporting right wing media. Reform are 1 in the pie chart.

Well done County #Durham's Bishop Auckland, you voted in Lyndsey Fox as your Reform UK councillor.

She was a Conservative Councillor for Spennymoor Town Council but was kicked out of her position last year for non attendance:

You cannot make it up.

Peter out.

Over 50,000 people have now backed my call to tax wealth, not cut disability support!

I'll be presenting this petition in Parliament as part of our campaign to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts.

It’s Earth Day and this is your reminder that the Inuit have more than fifty expressions for “Is it just me or didn’t there used to be a fuck of a lot more ice around here?”

Man on a roadside protest in the US, holding a sign that reads: "I WAS ACCIDENTALLY ADDED TO THIS PROTEST BY A SIGNAL GROUP CHAT"

It's just too good.

A photo of a few scattered houses and buildings in Saint Pierre and Miquelon along the coastline. It is a French archipelago south of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. Sparsely populated Miquelon-­Langlade island contains the Grand Barachois lagoon, home to seabirds and seals. An island nearby, Île-aux-Marins, features an abandoned fishing village.

Another one! This is St. Pierre et Miquelon. Population: 5819.

It now has one of the world’s highest tariffs - 99%. The US imported only $3.5M of its shellfish last yr. BUT the island imports ZERO from the US.

So, the idiotic White House formula (imports v exports) couldn’t cope. It spat out 99%.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Up to 1.2m disabled people will lose thousands in UK welfare overhaul, experts warn Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, laid out plans for £5bn savings but faces rebellion from some Labour MPs

The question remains - why is this government stripping vital support away from millions of people when a 2% wealth tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise many, many times more? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The political class and media collude in describing cutting welfare and public service spending as taking 'tough choices' because they know that they are really the easy choices.

Taxing the ultrawealthy would be a genuinely 'tough' choice, which is why politicians never take it.

Keir Starmer joins Sunak, Johnson, May, Cameron, and the British press on their endless quest to find out which group of poor people has all our money.
