Normal people love their family, friends & pets & have no room in their hearts for cruelty, unkindness or war. Just my opinion.

THE BREXIT BILL WE FORGOT!

£50 billion is what it cost to leave the EU. £50 billion for a catastrophe that’s sinking the country, for the greatest mistake in our history - and this is on top of all the other billions Brexit is costing us. IT’S A BLOODY JOKE!

The Andrew, formerly known as Prince, will only have his dogs, horses, domestic staff, the local gulf club, and the vast Sandringham estate to keep him company.

Pray for him.

This is just next level insanity.

In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate.

There was just one rather significant problem.

She had sadly died in July 2024.

Good morning ☕️ people

The clue, as in Reform, sold you a lie about Brexit to get people raging about Europeans working hard over here (we were over there) now they're selling you a smokescreen about the ECHR that PROTECTS YOU. They have VOTED AGAINST ALL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS & are funded by the rich

Yesterday: Nigel Farage says Reform UK "will detain and deport absolutely anyone that comes via that route.. Yes, women and children"

Today: Nigel Farage, "Deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage. The news reports who said that were wrong"

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

According to the Welsh Secretary, Wales should get over £200M in additional transport funding but the Treasury says this figure can’t be identified 🤔

The funding formula clearly isn’t fit for purpose.

Plaid Cymru demands a reform of the system so that Wales is funded fairly.
