Retired journalist, hater of Brexit, proud to be woke
Here's a copy of a message which I have just sent to my MP Sam Rushworth (Bishop Auckland)
Dear Sam.
As a Green party member, please could you pass on my thanks to Sir Keir Starmer and the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood for increasing support for The Greens.

There is perhaps, within Reform UK, a sense of satisfaction that the BBC's Director General has been removed, but it could be a worry and a problem for them.
For far too long the BBC has given Reform an easy ride.

I'm proud to say that both of my grandfathers fought fascism in WW2. One in North Africa, the other in Italy. Fortunately they both survived although one suffered shrapnel injuries.
Seventy five years later fascism has re-emerged.

The number of posts which have appeared on social media saying 'Vote Reform' shows that many, many bots have been hard at work. The truth is that Reform are terrified of being exposed as a natural successor to the National Front and The British National Party.

The Met Police have declined to investigate complaints from Virginia Giuffre about Andrew Windsor because it would be a misuse of their time.....however they are quite happy to arrest 80 year olds for holding up a poster.

There is a massive commotion over the match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, and the possibility of crowd violence breaking out.
Just imagine, for one moment just imagine what it would be like if Millwall qualified for Europe 😯

There is a history of Farage and political parties. A bit like wives, there have been more than one. He's been a Conservative an independent. He's been UKIP, he's been Reform UK...

There is a fundamental dilemma when it comes to the Tory party leadership. They have broken the traditional narrative by having a leader who is black.

London MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy.....nails why Keir Starmer's fear of Farage is good for parties in the other direction.
"We are currently haemorrhaging votes to the Lib Dems, to the Greens. All we seem to do at the moment is chase down Reform and we cannot do that.
