Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

And 98% of it comes from the richest 1%.

An emergency application for the use of a neonicotinoid pesticide on sugar beet in England has not been granted.
This is the first time in 5 years that an emergency authorisation of Cruiser SB –(neonicotinoid thiamethoxam) has not been approved for use on sugar beet.

2/3rds of the people in the UK on 'benefits' are State Pensioners.
Of the other 1/3rd 60% are working.
The other 15% are the long term disabled people that you get in every country.
