I have just blocked Julia Grace Patterson. My view is she is neither helping the NHS, especially those in pain or dying on waiting lists, nor helping the Labour Party. Most people came to Blue Sky to get away from both the right wing and far left rhetoric.

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.
This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Yet there is little coverage on BBC, who appear to be fixated on we have not trained enough bricklayers in the last 8 months?

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE
Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

There’s going to be a lot of hat-eating tonight. Critics will find a way to do the PM down, of course. Say he gave too much or too little. Was too fawning or not enough. They'd have done it better. Nothing will come of it.
But in their black shrivelled heart they'll know Starmer played a blinder.
