Farage urges Zelenskiy to seek Ukraine peace deal with Russia
  • Well, the shit of foxes, but yeah, bit unfair that.

    With fox shit, you can put it in the bin and never see it again, but Farage is more of a stinky, greasy, smearing, permanently unflushable turd that's been hanging about in the loo for decades. Every so often you think he's gone away, but it turns out he was just lurking the other side of the u bend and pops back again.

  • Fellow Dads, what would be your ideal father's day be?
  • I hadn't thought of the breakfast, but fried egg on toast would be great.

    Pajama morning watching a film with the kids and having a Forza mini league. Vehicle handicap to even out the odds.

    Out to Macdonalds for lunch, Water World in the afternoon, curry and a pint for tea in front of another film.

    I would be prepared to swap Water World or the morning film for building a giant lego castle and waging war against the invaders.

  • If Rory Stewart were standing in my constituency, I would be very tempted to vote for him. In his work he's now an advocate of alleviating many of the problems in the poorest communities globally by giving no-conditions cash. Who knew that the problems of poverty could be solved with money?!!!

    He's also a reasonable person and one who I think genuinely wants good things for the country in general rather than just for rich folk. He actually wants Britain to be governed well and in the interests of the population. He has some blind spots of course, he wouldn't be a Conservative of he didn't, but he's decent and there's hope that he can be persuaded by evidence of benefit.

  • Sunak suffers poll blow as levelling-up cash-for-votes row erupts
  • The only reason it's not a tax is to save older, more likely-to-vote generations (who have a higher earnings differential from their degrees than younger folk) from having to pay it too, concentrating the cost on the currently-young.

  • Young people don't want to give up their weekends doing unpaid "mandatory volunteer" work either, though. There's no actually good option here for young people.

    Let them get a good education, let them build a career, let them use spare hours for extra earning or relaxation, because their property costs are astronomical. Don't sacrifice them further just for political gain.

    It's true to form for the Conservatives, though. You were sacrificed for political gain if you were low paid, if you needed healthcare or social care, if you were disabled, if you were trans, and pretty much if you weren't a wealthy outright property-owner.

  • 'Why Do You Hate Young People So Much?' Rishi Sunak Skewered By Student
  • The Conservative Party is notoriously unforgiving of leaders who lose general elections, and currently pathologically addicted to leadership elections. I'd be very surprised if he's not gone by the end of the year even if he does exceptionally well in the general election.

  • Blow for Rishi Sunak as IFS says Tories oversaw ‘worst income growth for generations’
  • Well in that sense, they've been remarkably successful. Literally billions of public money gone through the VIP lane and unrepaid business loans during covid. Nearly every tax cut giving more money to the already well off and less to below average earners. Wealth inequality soaring to help them feel superior.

    So.... not compulsory then? Or do you just get fined or something? Anyway, earliest policy U-turn of the Conservative campaign so far - will it be their best?
