Grumpy old woman, loves dogs, sci fi and my family. Loathed the last Tory government, not too impressed by the current one either. Boomers may have voted for Brexit but it is Gen X who insist on maintaining it! No DMs

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

A network of Safe routes with fast ‘yes/no’ decisions, a positive message on immigration would take the small boats gangs out of business and be acceptable to the great majority. Instead we get a poor man’s Farage tribute act.
