Wow - Lancashire's Reform led council are really trying to close care homes, kicking elderly residents out by February. I can't believe they think targeting the vulnerable is a good way to save money. Join me and sign the petition against these cruel cuts: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...
Save our care homes: the elderly need our help!
It might be your parents or a relative that this could happen to. These are very elderly people and some confused or with Alzheimer’s and being moved would greatly affect their health and wellbeing. ...

Article from today's Indy. There is no hope for the Israeli government when it entertains our leading Fascist. The victims of the holocaust must be turning in their graves.

Suggested question for Farage in his daily BBC News slot. Who do you support in the Ryder Cup, USA or Europe? MEGA!!

I fear that Andy Burnham has been ill-advised and should have bided his time. Was it caused by anger at the departure of Angela Rayner and Lucy Powell? From his current position there are too many uncertainties to overcome en route to Downing Street.

Starmer needed to act like Harold Wilson over Vietnam rather than Blair over Iraq. If you agree tell your MPs, Labour Councillors and others before its too late.
