Hello there.
Londoner all my life. Seen so many changes, not all bad. Still one of the best cities in the world because it's progressive and cosmopolitan.
Lover of transport, gardens and politics - not a Tory.
#pence demonstrating his total ignorance as to how most legal systems work. The GOP talk about witch hunts, well, this is the jury system of the ducking stool

Look at the police boats. Met police launch (MP1) as well as the rib, several of which are usually moored at Wapping.
How much has this cost?
The launch would have had to tow the rib to Portland and the police would have to be bussed and, ironically, put up in hotels.
More @conservative chaos and waste.

#KierStarmer writing in the Sun on Sunday is exactly what he should be doing, going onto Conservative territory with sensible sounding policies.
The real question is, who will Murdoch back next time? It seems unlikely it will be the certain losers.
You can see why the Tory Brexiteer tribe is deeply unhappy.
They voted to stop immigration - that's a given.
But I honestly believe they thought they voted in the belief that all the "foreigners", including the UK born ones, would be deported.
Now, there's literally 100s of thousands more, and worse, they're mostly Indian.
To complicate matters, they read and believe the RW rags, so they think they are the majority view.
Boy, are they in for a shock!

Hi there 👋

There are no words available to describe this position.
She's either a huge media attention seeking egomaniac, or she's totally stupid.
Or she's both.
What she isn't, is a future world leader.
Let's add delusional narcissist to that list perhaps?

The pained expressions on the presenters, the fiddling with pens. The guest who's on their side, telling it how it is....
It all says, "we're going to lose"
I very much doubt GBNews will survive beyond the the election
Good.

Brexit bonfire U-turn | 'It was never going to be possible!' argues Former Conservative Adviser

YouTube
More projection from the insaniac Tories.
No it's not the Westminster blob that has sabotaged the EU Retained Law Bill.
It's universally agreed by almost anyone else, industrialists, retail, travel and hospitality, environmentalists, banking and trade unions...that it's a terrible idea.
Yet the Brexit backbiting continues, demonstrating just how irrelevant the Tories are now.
Bring on the next general election - they will fight each other until the day they are all voted out.
#Ireland didn't make the #Eurovision2023 finals.
Well, what's another year?

@ChrisMayLA6 Ironic that the republican protest was plausibly *more* successful because of police intervention than it would have been without.

"The monarchist state is anti-democratic" is rather more persuasive when we watch the state break the law to violate rights and silent lawful (symbolic) dissent against monarchy.

Not sure the action could have been better scripted.
