Committed European working in international development. Also a singer and lover of gardens.
Ironic that Meloni's crew want to celebrate St Francis, the wokest of Saints. Maybe Starmer should make St George's day a holiday too. Touché, Reform.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Petition: Take our trains into public ownership | We Own It
The government is taking railway operators into public ownership, but the trains themselves will remain in private hands. The government must take our trains into public ownership.

Shout out to Radio 3 for excellent Christmas programming - this is what I pay my licence for. Wonderful music and so open to Europe that if I close my eyes I can almost pretend that Brexit didn't happen.
