Screenshot of report of Andy Burnham speaking at Labour Party Conference event. Contains a photo of him and these words: Yesterday at Labour Party Conference, Andy Burnham spoke to a packed room at the rally for Proportional Representation - which we were also proud to be part of. “In my view, in the times we live in, it is dangerous to have a voting system that allows a party to win a majority on a minority of the vote," he continued. “I’m here today to endorse Labour for a New Democracy’s call for a National Commission on Electoral Reform - and for a manifesto commitment to Proportional Representation in the next Parliament.”
Voting intention poll showing: Reform 33% (+1) Greens 18% (+1) Conservatives 16% (-) Labour 15% (-1) Lib Dems 11% (-1)
A comic book series of illustrations, showing two people having the following conversation: [Ponytail walks over to Cueball with a phone in her hand. Cueball turns away from his desk to look at her.] Ponytail: You know how I blocked all news sites at the start of 2021 to avoid spoilers for Avatar 2, and then forgot to start checking them again? Cueball: Yeah, we’ve been meaning to talk to you about that… [Ponytail stops in front of Cueball.] Ponytail: Well, I just checked the news for the first time, and why is the economy tanking? Cueball: Uh, the president is mad at other countried and imposed a lot of tariffs. [Closeup on Ponytail’s head.] Ponytail: Wait, who’s the president now? Cueball: Donald Trump. Ponytal: …Still?? Cueball: No, again. [Pan out.] Ponytail: OK, fine, what’s a tariff? Why is he doing this? Cueball: You know that pizzeria your comapny orders from? They don’t buy anything from you, right? [Closeup on Cueball, arms spread.] Cueball: Right, so they’re ripping you off! You’re paying them tons of money, and what are you getting for it? Ponytail: I mean… pizza? Cueball: See? They’re not helping your business at all! Cueball: What a ripoff! [Pan out. Ponytail has her hand under her chin.] Ponytail: What would they even buy from us? I guess we could survey a pizza… Cueball: Yes, perfect! You refuse to let the delivery driver past your security desk unless they venmo you for an equivalent value of LIDAR scans. [Closeup on Ponytail’s head.] Ponytail: Wouldn’t they just stop taking our orders? Cueball: Perfect, balance restored! [Pan out.] Ponytail: OK, but I still want pizza. Cueball: Can you just make one? You have all that gear. Ponytail: I don’t think pizza made with lidar diodes would be very good. Cueball: Ugh, why is everyone so picky about toppings? 8:04pm | URL: https://tmblr.co/ZRIVCRhJuH8PWm00
A cartoon of a doctor saying to a patient: "I'm not writing you a sick note. If you were really ill you wouldn't have the stamina to get a GP appointment."
Ironic movie billboard in a London street, mimicking the Fast and the Furious franchise - but with the title "The Fast and the Fuhrer" and the slogan "Heil Tesla". It includes mock review quotes praising it from Donald Trump and JD Vance. And a logo saying nominated for a Nuremburg award.
A chart listing US Presidents and their approval and disapproval ratings at the start of their term. It shows Trump's current disapproval rating of 42.8% is the worst ever! Second worst was Tump in his 1st term - 41.4%. Then a big gap to Biden, who was at 31.7%.
