The man who missed 77 consecutive votes in Parliament over the course of almost three months is now complaining about teachers potentially working four day weeks (with kids still receiving five days of schooling)

They broke Eisenhower’s globe because they didn’t want to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it.
I cannot think of a more apt metaphor for Pete Hegseth’s DoD.

You’re the Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, not the Trade Secretary.
You can’t sign a trade deal with Taiwan or anyone else, that’s reserved to Westminster.
You signed a non-binding MOU and rebranded it a “landmark trade agreement” for the gullible.
Classic Reform: inflate a photo-op into a lie and hope the lazy and uninformed never check. Disgusting
This morning, I signed a landmark trade agreement with Tainan in Taiwan, strengthening ties between our regions and creating new opportunities for trade, investment and innovation.
Greater Lincolnshire has a huge amount to offer, and this agreement is another step towards showing the world what we do best. 🇹🇼 🇬🇧
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK mayors cannot sign binding international trade agreements (reserved for central UK government); Taiwanese reports describe this as a sister city twinning agreement, and prior official statements called it a non-binding MOU for local cooperation.

Some Reform councillors were filmed making racist comments by an undercover journalist, who used a sneaky tactic to elicit the remarks: letting them speak

Wait until he hears about the MP who pockets an MP wages having done none of the constituency work, but who also earns an additional £2m on other jobs
A civil servant is accused of fraudulently holding FIVE government jobs at the same time while working from home.
It's incredible.
Five different government departments ran his pay every month and not one of them noticed he wasn't working.
Prosecutors say he "worked" 183 hours in a 168 hour week. The taxpayer paid him £350,000.
He's alleged to have used sick notes to juggle his jobs around.
You can buy these online for as little as £30.
Under a Reform government, every single level of the Civil Service will be overhauled.
Government departments and public bodies will once again do what they were always supposed to:
Serve the British public.

Remember kids, calling Trump a Nazi is incitement to violent, per the GOP.
But them calling a Muslim Democratic candidate a ‘terrorist’ is not incitement, apparently.
The hypocrisy is off the charts.

So Hegseth LIED about this
