It needed the publication of Prof Wendy Alexander's written evidence* to the Education, Children and Young People Committee regarding the #DundeeUni crisis for me to learn my #WordOfTheDay
#CAKEISM
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/cakeism
I find wanting to "have your cake and eat it" a great phrase. It definitely required a noun ๐
See an example of use ๐

#UKpol #UK #Brexit #cakeism #megalomania #exceptionalism #egoism
As if we in the #EU needed any further evidence that British exceptionalism, delusion, ignorance and arrogance are still going strong, almost 10 years post Brexit referendum, Nick effing #Clegg rehashes British cakeism in the most unserious, megalomaniacal way possible.
The Oberserver's *justification" for publishing such BS speaks volumes to their rapid downfall.
"Starmer: Reset with EU will not reverse Brexit"
Sounds like it will be about as successful as my plan to lose weight, which will not reverse my cake consumption.
@alexproe @hengymrohebwlad Yes, I see rejoining as a 20-year-ish project. Rejoining the SM or CU (or both) would be a good first step. At the moment, Starmer is saying he plans to do neither.
I think his plan to ease trade has something to do with cake.
Sebastian Fox (or was it Corinne Stockheath?) then puts the icing on the cake (remember Bozo's #Cakeism?) by issuing a grave warning - 'Don't gift Labour a supermajority...'
Grant Shapps is such an ignoramus. The Fixed Term Parliaments Act of 2011 was the only vaguely constitutional law in the UK that included a requirement for a supermajority and that has since been repealed by the Nastiz.
In our Commons, a party needs nowt but a simple majority to govern.
Good Morning, all I'll do anything for love #LBC (but I won't swallow the notion that Grant Shapps is the Secretary of State for Defence). Michael Green (for it is he hee hee) is still peddling the fake and disingenuous ยฃ2000 Labour tax surcharge claim despite complaints our Second-Past-The-Post Prime Minister Rishi Sunak shamelessly promoted the Not-So-Big Lie (in size it hardly matches the ยฃ350 Million on the side of the bus). And Nick Ferrari fails to call him out. #R4Today #BBCbreakfast
