@juliet_turner6 He's an X star. ❤️

The man who headed a government that wants to:- Scrap trial by jury, allegedly because courts are busy , yet some only open 20 hours a week. Jail for tweets. (making full use of Theresa May's Hate Speech Laws.) Tried to stop 5 million people having the right to vote in council elections . Would have taken away the winter fuel allowance, if it wasn't for public pressure Helped increase the wealth of multimillionaires who backed his net ZERO. Funds continued war . Moves asylum seekers from hotels to HMOs and presents it as an achievement Made divisive speeches when addressing the nation. Ridicules the electorate in Clacton and snubs his own supporters by not standing a candidate. Was given a send off fit for a great statesman. He was not , he was leaving because his popularity with the people had diminished. He was unpopular amongst his own, but the Uniparty headed by Kemi applauded him with honour. It isn't honourable to just be in the job It's honourable to do it well. It's my view he did not ! Burnham will bleed the tax payers and Kemi is more of the same liberal Tories in disguise It's the Uniparty.

@Bounce_BackLoan Ooo! what a good idea- doubt it would go down well with MPs though🤭 Of course there's the option of reducing the option of reducing the number of MPs - why do we have so many?

@SandyofSuffolk I suppose a sign in every classroom with 'Pull yourself together' won't suffice?🤭

Will we ever be gifted with moral, principled MPs/Mayors/Lords or is it a prerequisite to be unprincipled, lacking in morals and dishonest to gain entry to any of those positions. Respectfully acknowledging that those that are morally upright, principled and honest are the few exceptions that prove the rule!

@ArchRose90 @SadiqKhan That's because 'hypocrisy' is his chosen modus operandi. Starmer did this to screw with Burnham. Kahn will take over- god help us. Remember folks politeness and apathy got us here- let's not let it happen again at the next election -if we survive the next 3years.

@that_1 Flashing lights 'triggers' for him-🙄

@SamaHoole Nelson has priorities right🥳

@dregray247 Indeed!

@Mofoman360 Yes- 'people, stones and glass houses, spring to mind ☹️

@Elizabe13014545 Indeed!

@Olgachristie @Nigel_95 Well she's spent a lot of money on illegal immigration and giving it to the French( ineffectual endeavour I might add!) No doubt she'll be very good at authorising welfare for all of them. Perhaps La Reeves could gift her the abacus before she leaves🤭

@JamesPGoddard90 @kt_000000 We are Governed by fools!

Last Friday a CBS reporter sat down to eat what Erling Haaland eats in a day, on camera, for a laugh. She got as far as dinner. The segment ran on CBS Mornings ahead of Norway playing England, and it was billed the way these things always are. Raw milk, tomahawk steaks and bone marrow. The Viking diet. Six thousand calories. Come and gawp at the strange Norwegian and the things he puts in his mouth. Breakfast went down without trouble: four eggs, toast, yoghurt, raw milk. Lunch was an enormous Italian sandwich, Parma ham and burrata and sun-dried tomatoes and rocket and truffle oil and pesto, and that went down too. Then dinner arrived, because Haaland is known to get through two and a half pounds of steak and the bone marrow with it, and that was the end of the experiment. She had to ask the crew to help her finish. Fair play to her for trying it in front of a camera. Very few people reading this would have managed the sandwich. But look again at the list they filmed, because the joke did not land where they thought it did. Eggs. Milk. Ham. Cheese. Steak. Marrow. There is nothing strange on that list at all. Every item of it would have been recognised as dinner by a farmhand in 1900, or by your own great-grandmother, and the whole lot came off an animal or out of a dairy. A butcher could assemble it in about four minutes. What defeated her was not the strangeness. It was the volume. That is the entire story, and CBS filmed it without noticing. Because here is what the segment accidentally documented. A grown adult in a rich country cannot eat the amount of real food that hard physical work actually requires. Not because the food is exotic, but because we have spent sixty years replacing it with things engineered to slide down without effort, and the machinery for handling proper food has gone soft from disuse. Give a modern stomach two and a half pounds of steak and it panics. The desk needs it to be a freak show, mind, because the alternative question is a great deal more awkward. If eggs, milk and beef are just food, and the best striker on the planet is fuelled entirely by things you can buy at a butcher's counter, then what exactly is the rest of the aisle for? They set out to film a man eating strangely. They filmed a nation that has forgotten how to eat.

It appears that Andy Burnham is having a change of heart and is likely to appoint Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor of the Exchequer. She has an excellent legal background but no finance expedience at all. Can we please have someone with financial experience anything else is madness.

@bagshaw2112 Faberge Egg-very colourful with a very elaborately dressed person inside.

@juneslater17 Love it. I don't know if it's practice, but you've got the accent down to a T😂😂

Reality not hype
