Excoooose me? Were you not VERY rude about us all recently? Maybe, you sort your own s**t out?
Bloody cheek.

What? And marry an old man with money and hope that he dies?
Thereβs brave and thereβs stupid.
This could be my favourite quote of the year (tbf it is only March but reallyβ¦):
βAll of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.β

Seeing Dougal the Dandieβs litter mate at Crufts does make me realise that his βau naturelβ state does look a tad scruffy π¬
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Obviously, we would have loved a Dandie Dinmont or a Shihtzu to win but no arguments - that Clumber Spaniel (and his owner!) and the Petit Griffon Basset were well deserving winners β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Suki and Dougal loved watching it all.
Replies to this are a good way of brightening the weekend. Thanks Sam and congrats.
Husband suggests that we all βleakβ that Pete Hegseth has been named new Supreme Leader for the joy of seeing the bombers turn around and head his way.
I actually think, looking at the polls, that Trumpβs bad-mouthing, the right-wing press shouting and now Blairβs snide commenting is pretty good for Starmer; it puts him strongly in the ranks of the majority of us, who think this is all madness.
Collateral damage should NEVER acceptable.
This is horrifying

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
I donβt know why this hasnβt garnered more attention. Is it a threat? (It sounds like one.) Or is it the ranting of an entirely delusional, mentally unwell man who believes he is all-powerful? Either way, it is BAD.
Trouble is the last few days mean that I have already hit peak grumpy, and I think there are going to be many, many more similar daysβ¦.

REGARDING IRAN..
Trump has no plan.
Trump has no concept of a plan.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!
I am so tired of Trump; he is such a dick. Personally, I think he has done Starmer a big favour by going after him today. Anyone disliked by Trump tends to go up in popularity over here.
FFS.
I think a combination of things, including stuff in the news, has caused me to have a huge spike in anxiety. You donβt need to know this, nobody does really - I just needed to say/write it βΉοΈ

Epic fury. EPIC FURY. This is a fantasy fueled impulse, same as when he posts AI of him on the ice winning Olympics gold or spewing shit from a fighter jet. Trump is playing a video game with the world, killing real children. He is dangerous. Just give him his Dadβs dementia desk and toy phone. βοΈ
Pedophile Trump and Genocide Netanyahu.
Two evil men making war to save their skins.
Itβs a shitshow; Trump is chief Shit.
Not, I donβt want this country being dragged into another Middle East conflict (the last one was bad enough). I donβt want the US using our air bases. The US need to get their stuff in order - how about they rise up against *their* regime?!
God! Iβm grumpy.
I donβt think I am the only person waking up incredibly happy that Reform didnβt win.
I am totally pissed off with the bloody focus in the media on the party which came second. Tactical voting probably played a big part in the result - I am totally okay with that. π
And again, the media is giving Reform an easy ride. Where are the comments on the clear rejection of right-wing and especially extreme right-wing politics by the voters?
25,000 voted for left leaning parties; only 10,000 voted for right leaning parties.
The big takeaway from the by-election is that left and centre left parties took over 65% of the vote.
Thereβs no place in British politics for the far right racism and bigotry of the right.
Judging by his response to the result, GoodWin would be better known as BadLoser
I am daring to feel hopeful about the slow (very slow) move of working class women into politics. It is such a good sign - slow and steady wins the race.
