This is a mistake from Kamala.

Irrespective of whether she wins or loses.

It is a mistake.

Donald J Trump took the excuse of "I didn't hear" on a Puerto Rico comment.

Kamala. Be better.

Words matter. Image The words of course

What was your <adjective> lie?

First?
Funniest?
Smallest?
Easiest?
Most difficult?
Lie you are most proud of?
Lie you are most ashamed of?

Or as @NickFerrariLBC asks @BorisJohnson here "greatest" Now I am curious

How do you define "greatest"?

What would I do if I had:

0 followers
1 follower
200 million followers

What would I do with the tweet from @BehizyTweets below that has been quote tweeted by @ElonMusk

It is the lack of self respect from Elon So

So it's quite a simple process

To borrow from Elon

step 1 - make your requirements less dumb
step 2 - delete more of your process
step 3 - simplify or optimise
step 4 - accelerate cycle time

"You basically say it wasn't a big deal. I regret apologising. Is that really your position?"

"Did you regret apologising to the Queen?"

Mr Johnson refuses to answer and replies: "I don't discuss my conversations with the Queen."

“They want leadership. They’re so thirsty for it they’ll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there’s no water, they’ll drink the sand.”

So I am going to talk about the sand.

“That’s his record, those are his values, and that is exactly how he should be judged.”

I agree Rishi Image Just joking.

I forgive you.

I want to show you "mercy"

I have "moved on" you see.

The question is, where have I moved on to and why?

Nigel Farage wants to focus on Oldham and talk about languages

So let's travel to Oldham

I would like to dedicate this thread to Nadia Hussain. Thank you. For your work in helping others.

I am also going to talk about David and Nigel.

The fixation on languages is nothing new to Nigel

Going back in time

It was Romanians that was his concern

I would thank everyone that smears, insults, attacks or threatens the ICC and its Chief Prosecutor

It shows your fear of:
1) an application for arrest warrants
2) a potential trial

Imagine Hamas were doing this?

Or Imagine Russia (over Ukraine) Imagine Hamas was attacking the ICC like this: Image

No, no. Really.

I once wrote a thread
justifying leaving the ECHR
and
defending Boris Johnson from charges of racism

here I go on a journey where I ask the question , what happens if Rwanda succeeds not from the perspective of the refugee but from the exporting countries so

the Rwanda bill got Royal Assent this week

it is now beginning to ramp up the "regular" flights of asylum seekers to Rwanda

so let's assume Rwanda has the capacity to take all the "new" "asylum seekers

that leaves the backlog in the UK of course who are exempt
