There's a more fundamental error here: there's *nothing* Conservative about cutting taxes without also cutting spending when you already have a large deficit (and there's nothing Conservative about undermining institutions that would otherwise restrain you either)

Ok folks. I've got to reduce my cholesterol a bit, and have a lifelong addiction to butter and cheese. What are your favourite appropriate food and recipe ideas?

Ironic that many Jews changed their names to fit in with the dominant culture and avoid antisemitism, and now antisemites think that’s evidence of Jews being sneaky or some shit. No, it’s because of motherfuckers like you.

The Angela Rayner 🌹 saga. I get it. Attack dog attacked. Karma.
But really?

Is that it?
Not that she voted twice, no act of personation.
It seems petty beyond belief and a total waste of police time
