Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

Excuse me?! Boris Johnson just told the committee LIVE, that he would have told businesses from the No 10 podium; that it WAS UP TO THEM whether they held un-socially distanced drinks during the pandemic. Disgrace. Think of all the funerals, weddings etc that never happened.

Instead of backing 1000s of green jobs & sustainable, long-term economic revival, Govt has backed a climate-busting, backward-looking, stranded asset coal mine. The decision to greenlight this mine is a climate crime against humanity - & we must challenge it every step of the way
Utterly, utterly brilliant (again) from @MarinaHyde “fauxlanthropy” my fave new word

1/8 It’s Children in Need season. I always feel like an absolute grinch critiquing it because it’s so beloved and obviously raises much needed cash. But my ick outweighs my discomfort at being impolite so here we go (a thread)

It's as if the speech and the appointments were made by completely different people.

Dear @RishiSunak
Congratulations on your appointment by your colleagues as our Prime Minister. I listened to your speech earlier. You said your government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level. You also used the word compassion. 1/4

I'm 60. I'm not "militant", I'm tolerant, peace-loving and law-abiding. But if they bring Johnson back I'm up for any protest march in my area and would like to connect with more people who feel the same. #GTTO #followbackfriday

Thank you to all the fabulous social workers @IslingtonBC working every day to keep our children safe. It’s a tough job and you do it with integrity and skill #WSWD2022
No words…well there are words but not ones I will use on Twitter…they have been loudly expressed in the privacy of my own living room though ..
