I’m running against Stevie but he’s absolutely right to draw attention to the Tory spaceport scandal. Also I’d love to see him wear that spacesuit to the count!

Last July Cornwall showed the Conservatives it wouldn’t put up with this nonsense at Westminster. On May 1st it’s time to show them we won’t have it at County Hall either.

I've never seen a nation torch its reputation the way Musk and Trump are torching that of the US. Every day they find a way to make a new segment of the world population detest them. Makes Brexit look like a PR triumph.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists

If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America.

I don't think people here have forgotten the murder of Andrei Litvinenko nor the chemical weapons attack in Salisbury that killed one British citizen, left others gravely ill & recklessly risked the lives & health of hundreds.
