Think I’m finished with Labour. As party member and election volunteer they’ve worked hard to lose me. Their performative cruelty chasing votes of folk who are never going to vote for them anyway is the final straw.
Will vote tactically next election. Whoever keeps Reform out. #labour #politics

@iandunt.bsky.social On my run this morning listening to Original Story. I was struck by how well the Gorky quote about Lenin not knowing the people but being able to rile them up, applies also very neatly to Nigel Farage.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself. Had my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday. And then on top of that I was sick all night last night. Every 30-45 mins from 10:30pm to 5:00am. And NOW I’ve just knocked over my coffee. 😩 FML
