This morning I laid a wreath of red and white poppies at Bristol’s #RemembranceSunday service. Every November, I choose to wear both a red and a white poppy: red to help those who have been affected by war, and white to work for peace.

Sadly, only about five people, give or take, read their local paper these days.
Got to wonder what effect this sort of coverage will have on Reform’s brand over the next few years before a general election

British government and MPs still use this man's social media platform.
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"
"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

Simply don’t understand how Labour losing Runcorn by six votes was a disastrous loss but Reform losing Caerphilly by 11% is a strong second proving their vitality.

Rich people can't create or destroy £s. If they want to leave and invest elsewhere they'd have to sell their £s to those who do want to invest here.
Opponents of wealth taxes say that they would end up reducing tax revenue as the super-rich would leave the UK
1) Most Britons don't agree: 2024 YouGov polling found 57% believe you would raise rather than lose money by increasing taxes on the super rich

I think a good mark of if someone actually cares about grooming gangs or simply wants to use an tragedy to attack the government/flame racial tensions is how they speak about Jess Phillips. Done acres more for the victims of violence against women and girls than all her critics combined.

I am old enough to remember people arguing that Starmer‘s speech at conference was the big turning point and that Labour would now stand up against far-right rhetoric. But spineless politicians rarely grow a spine over night…
Worth saying that despite asking for more than 12 hours we’ve had nothing back from Labour on this
A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.
