Norway is a Socialist Country.
It has the largest Government surplus in the world at £1tn with a population of only 5.5m. The UK has a debt of £2.5tn.
It is the happiest country in world, has the best railways in Europe and taxes all fossil fuels at 78%.

"There is no right not to be offended. There is no legal obligation to be reverent towards any religion. The lodestar of our democracy is freedom of speech" - Suella Braverman, 4/3/23
Maybe Mr Braverman's wife shouldn't use disgusting rhetoric reminiscent of 1930s Germany.

"Pacific trade deal means we can never rejoin eu"
So, despite an ever growing number of people wanting to rejoin, and despite what future generations may want, this is about permanently locking us out of EU.
Run that sovereignty argument by me again?

Thread: Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755-1842). She was a favoured painter of Marie Antoinette & is considered one of the great portraitists of her time. As a woman she created her own vision. She died on this day. Let’s take a look at her work. Self-Portrait (c1782)

The cost of the climate crisis: a projected £2billion hit to London's economy.
But it's only the start—the health impacts are even more devastating.
We can't ignore the science. We can't be complacent. We must be bold in our fight against the climate crisis. It's now or never.

If Kafka and Orwell had been locked in the writers' room together with Jonathan Lynn, Antony Jay and @Aiannucci, they couldn't have concocted a more bleakly black absurd comedy of spokesmanship

God Bless His Heart #PaulOGrady
Paul O’Grady was an LGBT icon, searingly witty and extremely kind to animals, the best qualities a person can have
In 2010, on his prime time show, he called the coalition government "bastards". He was right.
It’ll be a less colourful world without him.

They’re not taking away anyone’s freedom, literally or not, any more than a no entry sign, a traffic light or a bollard does those things. Driving a car is not a right. It’s a privilege under license and conditions.

Is there a ghostwriter in the Northern Hemisphere resistant to the temptation of embedding mendacious pragmatic markers towards the 'author'?
Whilst I am confident of my own ethics, the fear of writing a chapter on #KingLear as Johnson would fizzle my brain from my skull

Is he representing His Majesty's Government at this Nigerian Business Forum? Is the King aware? Did @RishiSunak authorize this? How much is Johnson trousering for this speaking event?
Boris Johnson makes light of his police fine for Partygate scandal, joking in speech that he was criminalised for standing up and eating lunch at his desk… by @rowenamason theguardian.com/politics/202…
