I agree entirely, in principle, but in practice I want the fewest and smallest barriers to re-entry - we desperately need to be back in!
Agreed. I’ve said elsewhere here before that they are perhaps the last bastion of true investigative journalism (occasional issues from The Guardian, like the Uber files currently, aside) left to us here in the UK.
Take out a sub, now, people - you’ll be glad you did. 
It is lovely, innit?
Unless you are one of the 100,000 card-carrying members of the Perfidious Party, you don’t get a say.
So we are going to be stuck with the horrible Hobson’s choice of Notax Sunak, Liz Thatcher or Penny Mordor.
We’re fucked.
While I like nothing about her, Thatcher was at least a competent, serious, human incarnation of selfish avaricious evil.
Magnificently put, sir.
I doubt, in all my years of invective, I have heard such a perfectly worded summation of this particular gorgon.
Well bloody played.
A thought, since Truss is a word
Truss derives from the Old French word trousse, from around 1200, which means “collection of things bound together”.[5][6]
been trying to think of a good collection of items to represent her.
Much as I’d like to see her trussed up like the proverbial xmas turkey, I can’t think of much else.
The editorial in today’s i newspaper started with a blinder:
“Welcome to day three of Tory Squid Game.”
On the plus side Suella Braverman, she who wanted to scrap the human rights act, is out but then there are a parade of horrors lining up behind her. Whoever wins, we lose.
The Mitchell and Webb sketch is so overused these days but how do they genuinely not see that they’re the bad guys when they literally want to withdraw from human rights treaties and allow torture?
The same way that the GOP here do that - they believe that human rights are only for SOME people, and not for ALL people. That’s the mindset of the right.
Conservative lawmakers in the UK rounded off the week with a war of words over a proposed – and now delayed – internet content law.

Whatever the collection of things bound together is, it ain’t neurons or synapses.
Wet socks was as far as I got…
This is my suggestion
Alright, a bunch of ice lolly sticks tied around a fire poker, wrapped with wet socks.
The whole thing needs scrapping, it is not fit for purpose in a supposed democratic country.
