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?

There’s brave and there’s stupid.

This could be my favourite quote of the year (tbf it is only March but really…):

β€œAll of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.”

(I am a big zombie movie fan though.)

((Ignore cursed punctuation- it has been a long day.))

Seeing Dougal the Dandie’s litter mate at Crufts does make me realise that his β€˜au naturel’ state does look a tad scruffy 😬

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 ❀️❀️❀️❀️

Suki and Dougal loved watching it all.

Husband suggests that we all β€˜leak’ 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 Trump’s bad-mouthing, the right-wing press shouting and now Blair’s 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.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

I don’t know why this hasn’t 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.

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.

I think a combination of things, including stuff in the news, has caused me to have a huge spike in anxiety. You don’t need to know this, nobody does really - I just needed to say/write it ☹️

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 Dad’s dementia desk and toy phone. ☎️

Pedophile Trump and Genocide Netanyahu.

Two evil men making war to save their skins.

It’s a shitshow; Trump is chief Shit.
Not, I don’t want this country being dragged into another Middle East conflict (the last one was bad enough). I don’t 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! I’m grumpy.

I don’t think I am the only person waking up incredibly happy that Reform didn’t 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. πŸ‘

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.
There’s 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.
