Today my laptop offered a "Looking back on your memories" montage of photos I have taken in the last year. It consisted largely of potholes and overflowing bins....

Funny to see so many people claiming that Trump won. On Monday, Trump told the ayatollahs: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!” They ignored him. He backed down. That is not winning. What makes it even more bizarre is that the people claiming victory were, until five minutes ago, praising Trump as the anti-war candidate. Truly TDS is a thing – albeit not in the way that is usually meant.

Trump has just lost a war to Iran. I would liken it to the Suez débâcle except that, at Suez, Britain successfully swept Egyptian resistance aside. We were defeated by Eisenhower’s hostility, not Nasser’s tanks. This time, the US just flat out lost - and the world is vastly worse off for it.

And, of course, the sheer cheek of bringing a motion to and making a passionate speech about democracy at a council meeting, and then refusing to go when you lose a vote of no confidence. Total Clowns bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's almost as good a slogan as "Fresh Ambition" when you have been in power for 14 years and have rotting piles of rubbish in the streets...

🥚Here’s an Easter egg the Government doesn’t want us to find in the digital ID plans… Our digital ID photos could be subverted into police facial recognition mugshots. It's clear - a sprawling digital ID system will cost us our rights & freedoms | no2digitalid.co.uk

Pitt the Younger was Prime Minister at the age of 24. And he didn't "accidentally" pay people to smear journalists.

Another point people are forgetting - the administration is blaming NATO allies for not helping, but has made no formal ask that they undertake any specific mission in the Gulf (other than Trump babbling about Euros sailing ships through the Straits, which would not reopen them).
Jonah Goldberg@JonahDispatch

I agree with some of this directionally, but my God the refusal to acknowledge that Trump has worked assiduously to poison the alliance and heap all the blame on Europe is just water-carrying hackery. Saying "NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause" is like writing a movie review when you missed the first half of the movie.

GB News are a disgrace. Spreading fake news that there is no “Easter message” from The King. This is not a tradition. They are just making stuff up. But yes, there will be a social media post on Easter Sunday. And if you believe The King is a Muslim, you should check into the local lunatic asylum.

Your energy spokesperson backed higher taxes on oil and gas that you now reject. You resigned from your party over a burqa ban you now say you support. You reported Rupert Lowe to the police for hurty words and say you care about free speech. In the nine months I had in Government I started a reset on Net Zero, pushed back on costs to consumers and on legislation crushing businesses, legislated to protect North Sea licenses, signed off Rosebank and more gas power plants, started the largest expansion of nuclear power in generations and a true costing of renewables. I’ve worked to change my party’s position further which is why I backed Kemi because I knew she would have the courage of her convictions to do so as well. As ‘head of policy’ you spend most of your time sounding like someone whose head was flushed down a toilet too many times at school - all fragile ego without bothering to learn that education policy is devolved or that Grangemouth is not in Wales. Perhaps get off X and into the detail of your brief.

The closure of Grangemouth refinery was announced in 2023 when Claire Coutinho was the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. She killed it and returns to the scene of the crime to film. Depraved.
