If you live in the East Riding of Yorkshire, where I was brought up and lived until being forced to leave by the collapse of Adult Social Care, please do not stay at home on Thursday. Being rightfully angry about Gaza and other things is not a good reason to allow Hate to defeat Hope.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social This Irishman wishes you and all our English and Ethiopian friends a Happy St. George’s Day.
A Palestinian,he was a martyr for Abrahamic religion.Thus a Mosque in AlKadhir bears his name.
He stands for tolerance and respect. The best English virtues.

Here’s the basic differences between Labour and the rest.
2 million extra GP appointments ahead of time. New protections for workers. Doubling of free breakfast clubs in deprived areas. £20 billion extra for the NHS. Rail, and catastrophic NHS strikes ended. Wages higher.
In just 9 months.

Just seen Take Me Home 1989.Beautiful crafted story about clash between industrial Britain and the Thatcherite vision. The inherent dislocation bleeds into the lives of a 50+ taxi driver and a younger woman unsure of her role.Keith Barron, Maggie O’Neil,

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social my son (22) spotted this on a lamp post in Belfast today. He knew immediately what it is. The legendary film lives on

The Democratic Party can’t play dead and wait for Trump to implode.
Newsome pandering podcast with right thing thugs is just morally wrong.
Firm up the base. Reach out to working class and propose radical economic policy. That’s how UK Labour won.

Kudos to this Man Utd fan. Premier League owners are terrible. Clubs need to be owned by the fans.

UK satirical magazine, ‘Private Eye’ produces yet another brilliant cover.

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.

As the MSM like to big up Reform UK and their Proto Fascist agenda, let’s take a peek at some err, facts. We know they’ve gone out of fashion but anyway…

Just in the interests of historical accuracy. 😂😂😂😂

Boris Johnson is the ultimate politician who sees a crowd, asks them where they’re going so he can lead them. BREXIT being the most cynical example. Now he’s sticking his oar in about #Ukraine 🇺🇦
When he took dirty Russian cash for his rotten Tory Government.

Given today’s diabolical events in Riyadh, where Marco Rubio bowed and scraped to sanctioned War Criminal Lavrov, this observation by Churchill has chilling resonance. (I’m not a fan. 1943 Bengal Famine for example)

This is why we have a #UKLabour Government. @wesstreeting.bsky.social and colleagues don’t talk. They act. This comes after only 7 months of a 5 year Government. First step in a long journey to repair our beloved NHS er gregariously wrecked by the Tories
February 18, 2025 at 9:47 AM
@emmahardymp.bsky.social Back home in the #LabourParty
Application successful. This Government must succeed. Tough choices have to be made otherwise, “Things fall apart. The Centre cannot hold”. Looking forward to Holyrood election 26. Bye bye SNP!

Not a bad attempt considering we have played for at least a decade!

Severance S2 E4 was one of the best hours of television this century.
Reminiscent of Dante’s, ‘The Divine Comedy’, ‘Pine Barrens’ from the Sopranos and so much more. Unsettling, enchanting but most of all beautiful. I was moved. This is great art.

This pie chart regarding reliance on imported energy is worrisome. The market is volatile plus Putin and Trump’s unpredictably could compromise our security. We need a plan. Is Net Zero now something still in our reach?
February 10, 2025 at 2:25 PM
So, this was Trump’s plan all along. How did we not see it?
*Slaps forehead*.

Nigel Farage on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme trash talking. “There are more EU fishing boats working inside UK waters than before BREXIT”. Where’s the evidence, verified statistics and facts?
Went unchallenged by Emma Barnett. Dangerous and Pathetic.

Loving #JohnPrescottMP two jags turning up in err two jags! Also loved GordonBrown's eulogy reminding us of when John gave a speech to be followed by Peter Mandelson: John said: "It's a sort of charm offensive. I'll leave you to work out who is charming and who is offensive”.
