Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.
I'm shocked to the core with what is happening in the USA.
Imagine having Yaxley-Lennon presiding over the UK.
Utter, utter madness.

Kemi Badenoch has just been confirmed as the new leader of the Conservative Party, with 53,806 votes.
Do you think Kemi Badenoch would make a good or bad PrimeMinister?

This is a truly heartbreaking one. Janey’s fierce support for those bullied, her vulnerability and sense of justice was what I admired about her the most.
It now falls to all of us to call Trump a cunt at any given opportunity, on her behalf.
Sleep tight you funny fucker :(

I've been asked what my favourite commentary is on the budget and it's unquestionably this exchange.
Lisa retweeted
Feel a rare sense of relief watching the budget. From what I can tell, no regular people are getting fucked, the rich are taking the hit, cap gains increased, public services and NHS getting long overdue investment. Considering the hell Labour has inherited this is impressive.

Today you will hear a lot about broken Labour promises from the Conservatives. So here’s a little reminder of theirs:
David Cameron “we have absolutely no plans to raise VAT”
They raised it from 17.5% to 20%
David Cameron “I wouldn’t change child benefit, I wouldn’t means test it”
They means tested it.
David Cameron “We have no plans to scrap the educational maintenance allowance”
They scrapped it.
George Osbourne “we will reduce the deficit and get debt under control”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will build 300k homes a year”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will end rough sleeping”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban no-fault evictions”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban conversion therapy”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will not raise income tax, VAT or National insurance”
They did, to the highest levels in 70 years.
Boris Johnson “we will build 40 new hospitals”
They didn’t.
Rishi Sunak “we will cut NHS waiting lists”
They didn’t.
David Cameron “we will end child poverty”
They didn’t. In 2021/2022 1 in 3 children in the UK lived in poverty.

This guy gave the Tories around £15m.
And got back over £400m in NHS contracts.
What would you call that?
And what effect does that have on the NHS?

Now finally a little perspective
Boris Johnson spent more on renovating his flat than Starmer has received in gifts since 2019
