The real test of the UK is whether by Election 2024, we all forget the Tories caused the most excess deaths in Europe, gave the top grades to private school kids, starved poor kids while their parents were out of work, blew £millions on dodgy contracts and left the North to rot.

These Republican and Democratic candidates running for Utah Governor have done something i’ve NEVER seen before - they made a political advert.... TOGETHER. Sound on:

When I moved to the UK I didn’t think there was much out-there unchecked corruption like we have back home, but it just seems to be par for the course now 🤷🏼‍♀️

In Nottingham, more people die from air pollution than alcohol consumption and road accidents combined. If the government can afford to pledge £28.8 billion on roads, it can afford to invest in green public transport and support for taxi drivers to decarbonise.

You literally got drugs that had only been tested on three hundred people. You received experimental treatments that are not available to the public and you have the fucking audacity to say this? You are a fucking sack of shit. You are a monster.

Just to recap: a billionaire is getting free publicly-funded health care so he can stay on the job and sue to block low-income people from getting publicly-funded health care paid for by billionaires.

Boris Johnson blaming rule-breakers. Weird how everyone stopped obeying the rules at the exact same time schools reopened and everyone was paid to eat at Nando’s and told to get back to work or risk getting fired from their jobs they'd been successfully performing from home.

Use lockdown 2 to get something you couldn't be fucked to do during lockdown 1, like learning french or implementing an effective test track and trace.

Best voting advice: Voting isn’t marriage. It’s public transport. You’re not waiting for "the one". You’re getting on the bus. And if there isn’t one going exactly to your destination, you don’t stay home and sulk. You take the one that’s going closest to where you want to be.

If it's so imperative to control the virus, why aren't the government putting their marketing budget to tell us about, perhaps, the most successful strategy for doing so: wearing a mask?
