An audio book is now available, called 'Beware-of-the-old-bull ' - It's a satire about the English language, a send-up of jargon and 'Management speak'. Available online now!

Tories closed 20 prisons, built zero replacements, and Express blames Labour. @Daily_Express

Replying to @campbellclaret
Gary Neville puts it well but nowhere near as well as @JonathanPieNews If @UKLabour put this out as part of their election campaign their work would be done.

Every. Bloody. Word. Red Nev speaks for me!!
They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went into the jungle , they lied again and again, they were convicted by police, they went on holiday when they shouldn’t and they have the cheek to question Keir Starmer’s work ethic. I would never take anything for granted but I hope they are annihilated on Thursday. The worst people and government we have ever had! P.S good afternoon all 😊❤️

Brilliant.
They'll tell you voting doesn't make a difference. But it was a Labour Government that changed my life. If you want change, vote for it on Thursday.

One of the most ludicrous things about @trussliz having been PM for ten minutes is that she gets a taxpayer funded allowance for the rest of her life “to cope with duties arising from” a position most will soon forget she ever had, and 24/7 (very expensive) police protection. My spies (I have them everywhere) say the protection guys were needed in a fish and chip shop in her constituency where she deigned to do a bit of campaigning and was roundly condemned by staff and customers and asked to leave. “She honestly walks around like people should bow down before her. She has no idea how loathed she is,” reported said spy. She has a massive majority but it is under threat and her main hope is that votes against her split between Labour (very strong in Thetford) Reform, Libs, Greens, the impressive independent James Bagge, and no vote. Looks like three way race between her, Labour and Indy right now. Think of the joy to the world if she was victim of the SUPERBEATING her party deserves not least for the damage she did to the country and the living standards of all. So whatever you do vote. And think about how best to beat her.

If the Tories get punished on July 4, you won’t just be weakening a party’s grip on power you will be weakening the lying right wing press and the dark money funded libertarian think tanks whose ideas have done so much damage to the people and institutions of the country they claim to love. Let them all go down together! It will be nothing more than they and the country deserve

I still can’t quite believe this happened. What does it say about our society?

Hi @RishiSunak sorry to disturb, I know you’re busy levelling up etc. I just wanted to ask, is this part of ‘the plan’?

A worrying proportion of school leaders are having to make cuts to teachers, teaching assistants and support staff. Trips and extra-curricular activities are also being reduced. Our research reveals a worsening picture of school finances 👇 buff.ly/3UnLmF3
