As all.other social media is a right wing toilet, I thought I'd give this a go.
I love all things fantasy and sci fi, motor racing, 90s music, LFC, computer and board games, bottomless brunches and walking yappy dogs. Oh, I also do cancer research

Labour are right to lower the voting age.
But if they're truly serious about creating a fair democracy:
Time to abolish the unelected House of Lords.
And time for Proportional Representation for all elections.

Insane that the British Foreign Secretary can meet with the former leader of Al Qaeda in Syria while, at home, on the same day, his government arrested 20 people on 'terrorism offenses' for supporting a non-violent pro-Palestine protest group.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.
Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.
Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.
The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Just spoke to Jim Diamond at LBC about the need for a wealth tax.
Rachel Reeves has made her own self imposed fiscal rules.
It's obscene to be squeezing international aid & development at the same time as spending money on more bombs.

Chancellor talks about energy security but yet again - just another way of funding private capital.
What about investing in renewables & nationalising our energy companies?
What about energy efficiency & prioritising insulating homes of poorest households?
Bring bills down.

More funding for the NHS is always welcome.
But this doesn't look like enough.
And slashing local services which keep us healthy is a classic example of only treating symptoms, not the cause.

Privatised water monopolies have failed, clearly and catastrophically - and it's customers and the environment that are paying the price for shareholder profits. It's long past time to bring water back into public hands, where it belongs.

In the Chamber today I challenged the govt’s so called “defence” spending plan—a whopping £15 billion on nuclear weapons that must never be used.
That money could be used to deliver real security: affordable housing, strong public services, climate resilience, and pandemic preparedness.
