On a show with puppets 'Spitting Image' Priti Patel has been portrayed as a Vampiress, The Queen of Darkness, complete with fangs.

Starmer Condemns Trump Attack.. Content Warning.
Sir Keir Starmer having come back from the US Himself recently, condemned the failed assassination of Donald Trump. Donald Trump was making a speech when a bullet hit him in the ear. However, the wound was not fatal and appeared to be a flesh wound. Trump dived down and His security team hurried him away. Trump formed a fist of defiance even with blood streaming from his ear. Trump's campaign for now is on hold. The former president was taken to hospital but was released none the worse for the attack. The gunman 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was instantly killed by security men. The would-be assassin was firing from a roof outside the area that Trump was speaking from. Many have questioned why this roof was not checked for security risks. US authorities are conducting an internal investigation. No one knows right now if the gunman was acting alone. The gunman was using His father's legal weapon. Not wishing to make light of this, however, Thomas Matthew Crooks was thrown out of His school shooting team for being a bad shot! The issue of gun ownership may come up again, however, no American politician will touch it with a barge poll. Although many Americans realize gun ownership is a controversial issue, many Americans, believe in the right to bear arms enshrined in the constitution. They will say there are responsible gun owners and non-responsible gun owners. The pro-gun lobby and the anti-pro-gun lobby will debate this for years to come.

Joe Biden Calls Zelenskyy Putin.. Content Warning.
Joe Biden since 2010 has had a series of mishaps. Falling up or down stairs, falling off stages, getting people's names mixed up, etc. Enemies of Biden and even some supporters, find this a hoot. However, whatever you think of Biden, laughing at an old man because of his age gaffes or signs of dementia is not funny. If we live long enough and reach old age, none of us know how we will be. So, when people laugh at Biden, they shouldn't, because Karma has a way of paying back what you said or did. So, all I am saying is just be careful what you say or do when mocking.

Runners and Riders to Replace Wishy-Washy-Rishi.. Content Warning.
The Conservative Party is reeling from the cataclysmic loss it suffered in the UK general election. Many 'Big Beasts' as the media likes to call them have lost their seats. Liz Truss, former Prime Minister has been ousted, likewise, Jacob Rees-Mogg is an MP, no more. Grant Shapps has also lost His seat. Penny Mordaunt who was tipped to replace Rishi Sunak has also been voted out of office. The massive 80% majority Bojo Johnson (the clown) won in 2019 has evaporated like vapour. The amount of Tory MPs left is 121, even worse than their wipeout in 1997 when Tony Blair came to power.

Oliver Dowden: Russian Interference!. Content Warning.
We all remember the alleged interference in the American Presidential elections alleged by Trump's enemies. That may have helped Trump to come to power. How could Russia interfere in an election and achieve its aims? Use social media, Russian agents residing in that foreign country to big up the party or candidate they back, Russian use of bots or AI, etc.
