Some-time buggerer about with vehicular nonsense, family guy, recovering IT industry dunker, campsite owner @campwight. Yes, I know there are typos.

The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too. Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C. No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act. That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections. You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you. But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.

As a society we have still never processed the fact that millions of people once freely and enthusiastically voted for the Nazis.

Meet Brexit The Elephant. Just sitting quietly in the corner of Starmer’s office minding its own business while they rack their brains trying to work out how to save the economy.

Don’t look away because this isn’t your street… One day it might be.
The scale of the flooding currently unfolding in Valencia, Spain is unfathomable. This is footage from Chiva, where a jaw-dropping 343 mm of rain was recorded in just 4 hours earlier today, between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM. Video credit: Nalabcer

Israel is carpet bombing Tyre. I don’t think people unfamiliar with this city understand what does this mean. Tyre is over 4,700 year-old & one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It is included as a whole in the UNESCO World Heritage. My heart is aching😭
The soul of #Tyre can’t be shattered by bombs 💔 The city is now under heavy bombing!! #Lebanon

Some Airbus components are made in the UK 🇬🇧. Prior to Brexit, Airbus in the UK employed just 2 people to handle relevant paperwork. Now it is 82 people, costing approx. £3.2m pa for basically the NTB's. Airbus can afford it. Swathes of Brit SME's can't. @dsmitheconomics

In the last week, Labour hit a crucial milestone on getting rid of hereditary peers, unlocked £1bn funding for social housing insulation, initiated plans to regulate buy-now-pay-later lenders and started to coalesce around an HS2 replacement. Barely any chat about this at all.

It's true. Dan Hannan genuinely is one of the greatest Conservative minds of this generation. That's how bad things are.

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website. Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the major shareholder of a paper with such poor journalistic standards and such extreme hawkish bias have a role over the BBC’s? Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today. bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/whowea…
