Make it happen, people.

Not that I think Sunak has any intention of sticking around in UK politics after the election, but still.

A whole week later and no bizarre dreams involving the Keirbot army, nor anything related to same.

Which ombudsman do I go to here about this complaint?

Of course, but that’s considerably harder to address via criminal law.

Going after people in office (& people running for office & political parties) for misleading the public is much easier, as you can impose a duty on them.

Most one could do is go after them once in office if they lied whilst campaigning for election to that office. You could maybe go after them even if they don’t win that election.

It probably needs to be done as a strict obligation to not say anything in office or when campaigning which is not verifiably true.

Would also need to be backed with hefty fines on parties if one of their candidates are proven to have lied, or if the party spread that lie.

Tbh any version would be very hard to get right, and if it isn’t robust the likes of Farage will use it as yet another tool of discord & disruption as they attack democratic institutions and the rule of law.

That Keirbot is weirdly hot. Will be holding you responsible if it, or a Keirbot army, features in some bizarre sex dream tonight.

“Farage was determined to be there at the start of it, aged 29, having been propelled to live life to the full, he has said, after being knocked down by a Volkswagen Beetle and then having his left testicle removed due to cancer.”

Volkswagen Beetles

ONE ball

So much hope we’re not being reference trolled here. This is too much delicious (if ominous) synchronicity. Cackling but I do not like it, not one bit.

He’s still pretending to pretend that he’s merely hard right.

This guy is openly and avowedly fascist, and probably thinks Farage is a filthy liberal, albeit a very useful one.

Reminder that Sunak’s father was an NHS GP, and his mother a pharmacist who ran her own local pharmacy, so he has a lot of personal knowledge of the strain healthcare was under during much easier times.

Besides which, D-Day commemorations would have been planned much further back than that, including the attendance of the British PM. That would have been in the diary of No.10 long before Sunak himself took office, with just very fine details to tweak nearer the day.

Seemed to be, but I wasn’t present at any of the result returns of elections he participated in.

His angry little face every time in Newsnight’s compilation of election result announcements, followed by him having a temper tantrum at a BBC interviewer asking about all his losses. Gold.

He’s likely to do worse now than in 2015 (his best result to date) when he was agitating for Brexit, notwithstanding dark funding & assistance from Twitter’s new owner, as many of those who thought they wanted to leave the EU have realised it was a mistake.

Mhmm. Still though!

Why did I have to read this as am lying in bed feeling peckish.

Disappointed these won’t be single 3ft sausage rolls though!

What’s with the article putting “innocent victim” inside inverted commas?

Sure, they may be quoting a witness, but is there need to quote that specifically? Was anyone thinking that a nine year old child shot having dinner with her family is somehow culpable for the violence done to her?

We all know that well-funded Tory wonks will have been doggedly scouring for any sign of wrongdoing by Labour politicians & activists, so it is notable that the most they’ve been able to dig up after all that effort is this possible error which turned out to not even be that.

Knew someone who collected wwii militaria, including Nazi stuff. Claimed that some tiny shoulder or lapel badges were worth close to 6 figures.

Even if they were wildly exaggerating on value, it makes that stuff an easy way to move large amounts of money undetected.

Sounds like less boozy Jägermeister (also made by monks) with added caffeine.

Had always assumed it would be fizzy.

Ffs, I get that Tories are wantonly destructive ghouls, but every damn day they scrabble to yet another unplumbed awful.

Or at 5 - salting the earth to make 1, 2 & 3 much, much harder for Labour.

Same & doubt we’re alone.
