This week:
Biden: Touts infrastructure spending, gets House GOP to give Ukraine military aid, talks Israel out of escalating fight w/Iran
Trump: Falls asleep at his own criminal trial 3x. Also, farts a lot.

Simon Case's smug grin, while going on unspecified Medical Leave just as he was about to be grilled by the Covid Inquiry.

Is this the kind of Sick Notes Rishi Sunak is talking about?

The UK won't be carrying out the checks on imported goods.

Great that means we won't have to pay the £2bn, right, RIGHT!?

Actually you will pay the entire tax, and get no checks.

Another one of those Tory taxes that they claim to hate, for absolutely nothing.

Michelle Mone by herself owes as much as 58,000 years of disability claims, VIP PPE Lane fraud in total is 3,700,000 years.

This is so important and yet gets almost no coverage. We have maybe 10 years to reduce emissions so the planet remains somewhat liveable but a Trump victory would put efforts into reverse.

Conservative MP Edward Leigh thinks disabled people and pensioners cost too much.

He claims £2350 to pay his Council Tax, and £2500 to pay his energy bills every year

But he isn't disabled or a pensioner, he is on £94,000

He should pay his self and cut the bloody benefit costs

That delightful sensation of the refreshing spray of… carcinogenic petrochemicals.

Another quintessential human experience ruined by Big Oil’s greed.

Meanwhile back in the land of the National Farmers' Union 80% of all Welsh dairy farms inspected, 69% of English ones, 60% of Scottish and 50% of Northern Irish are breaking environmental law.

I wonder what the Kremlin’s total spend on contributors to this thread was? Or were several of them stupid enough to do it for free?
