Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?

We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!

People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

Am I missing something or is this just a ridiculously clumsy way of saying‘gluten free’?

This is the most positive political development in Wales for a long time. I’m no nationalist but PC are the most credible left leaning party in Wales and I am also a passionate advocate for Welsh independence. I hope this is replicated across Wales next year.

As an ex-ref I don’t understand VAR cancelling that goal for offside. It’s debatable whether ball is played to him, he clearly runs back into onside position before turning and challenging for the ball. It’s criminal cancelling a goal for that.

Just for the sake of clarity, this odious little bigot does not represent me or any men I know. I struggle to comprehend how any decent human could vote for him. But the same is true of Trump. Decent humans are in short supply.

The 1950s called. They want their attitude to women back from Nigel Farage, but he’s too busy demonstrating it to Mishal Husain
It’s highly unlikely that we’re about to shatter anyone’s illusions that Nigel Farage has much respect for women. If anyone out there still thinks he does, please get in touch – we have a bridge to se...

I don’t always agree with them, but our independent judiciary is something we should all value in the face of Government trying to restrict our rights and freedoms.

Starmer leading Labour into the same electoral oblivion as the Tories. Here’s hoping Plaid Cymru don’t fuck up this opportunity to drag the Overton Window back leftwards in Wales.

Claims that it’s getting harder for scientists not to believe in God are right-wing Christian propaganda. Discuss. As part of the research that I am undertaking into human spiritual beliefs, I have…

The ceasefire in Gaza is fragile at best. The so-called deal has had no Palestinian input and provides no way forward to statehood. It’s a welcome pause to the genocide, but it far from an end to any of the issues. Anything involving Trump is likely to be a crock of shit.

A good, balanced report from Channel 4 of demonstrations involving over 500,000 people on the streets of London. Completely ignored by the State broadcaster, the BBC.

Religious bigots targeting each other I can live with. But innocent people get caught in it. And then they get weaponised by ignorant grifters in positions of influence like Trump and Farage.
Wilful ignorance is the scourge of our times.
