Next general election is relatively simple:

If you oppose racism and the deepening of divisions in our society because they make Britain weaker not stronger, vote tactically for whichever candidate can block Reform.

All other considerations come behind this need. 🗳️

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022.

This isn’t OK 🚨

Every time an immigrant doctor or nurse or emergency worker saves someone's life, we should have an article about their story, how they arrived from Nigeria, studied medicine, paid rent, work hard, to how they saved a 15 year old girl's life. Let's see what this poll says then.

Having the perspective of decades to look back through it is clear our 2 party system has not worked. There are many wonderful things about our nation but can we in all honesty say our society has progressed as much as it could (should) have?

Imagine winning a majority of 174, after 14 years of the most corrupt and inept government in history, and then squandering it the way Starmer has. It really does beggar belief. What a wasted opportunity.

A lot of artists and designers are struggling at the moment.
It’s been very quiet.
Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

The Good Friday Agreement was signed 27 years ago today. It was an act of delicate diplomacy, which delivered peace and security to a part of our country where those qualities had long been absent. Those achievements should never be taken for granted.

If you oppose NHS privatisation, please could you repost this? I’m fed up of being told that we’re ‘radical’ - most people oppose NHS privatisation! Let’s send a message to those destroying the NHS! 🚨💙

My lovely 78 year old Dad is walking 100 miles for @ParkinsonsUK during May 2025 (not all at once! 🤣) he’s doing this for my Mum who has Parkinson’s with dementia. I would be so so grateful if you could rt this and possibly donate for such a great cause 💕 events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/...

This is fun - imagining how Elon's coup would be covered by US journalists if it it was happening in another country (HT @jjn1.bsky.social )

This is depressing but not at all surprising

In 1932 - Adolf Hitler himself - explained to Liberty magazine why the party he led was called the "National Socialist Party" and it had nothing to do with what anyone might term "socialism".

He then added:

"We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party."
