Is it just me that has gotten old these last 3 years? Like bone-draggingly old?
Three busses we didn’t know we were waiting for at once.
Brexit. Covid. War.
My face has grown up to be a ball-sack.
At least it got to grow up.

The Germans are seizing yachts. The French are seizing yachts. Meanwhile, Britain is letting oligarchs quietly put their affairs in order before slipping out of the country. If you were furious about the Downing Street parties, you should be sick to your stomach about this

The Germans have now seized oligarch Alisher Usmanov’s yacht.
Usmanov also owns Sutton Place in the UK.
Is @BorisJohnson going to keep pace with the EU… or is he, very mysteriously, dragging his feet on tackling oligarchs?

BREAKING: As Gavin Williamson gets knighted, despite being sacked from his job, the nation wonders what dirt he can possibly have on Boris Johnson that could make people think less of him than they already do x

Just to be clear, it would be nonsensical for @AllegraCOP26 to have resigned if the Downing Street party had never happened, and she wasn't conspicuously making light of it. So she has just blown up the prime minister's "I've been assured the party never happened"

At lunchtime Number 10 said a whistleblower’s claim the PM and his wife were involved in the evacuation of Nowzad staff was “untrue”.
Just been passed a letter from the PM’s PPS Trudy Harrison to Pen Farthing to confirm Nowzad staff could travel to the airport to be evacuated.

Hey @ianmearnsmp 🙋 Women at the peaceful vigil for #SarahEverard did not need heavy-handed policing.
Stand up for people power.
Vote against the #PolicingBill that would criminalise peaceful protest in the UK. #HeyMP @BestForBritain hey-mp.uk/hey/ian-mearns?&v=…

I still find it incomprehensible that a party whose legacy is a decade of wage stagnation, rising inequality, soaring child poverty, soaring in work poverty, soaring homelessness & malnutrition was voted back into Government on an agenda to “level up”
