The problem with every grassroots Left Wing party I've got involved with has been so obsessed with "building a base at local level" they will spend decades holding echo chamber meets and promoting small local stuff while the Far Right just walks in and take over on bigger issues.

The only thing you can rely on Reform MPs for is to continually lie and falsely shout that they’re victims.

The ONLY way to stop the BBC and Question Time in particular to stop platforming Nigel Farage would be to broadcast from Clacton.

I should add that the sound quality of Apple surround sound streaming is phenomenal and completely changed my listening habits. I’ve gone from physical formats playing over Sonos to Apple streaming to a home cinema 5 speaker format

On Tuesday it will be 4 years to the day since I moved to Wingate. My home cinema system has sat waiting to be set up for all that time because it’s a nightmare. Whole days wasted with speaker issues. But finally sorted today. Listening to “Dark Side of The Moon” in 5.1 Surround Sound. Sublime!

Just the latest revelation (on Linked In) about Rachel Reeves. There’s a pattern of lying and fiddling expenses that has been repeated throughout her career, on top of the plagiarism. Ridiculous that she’s been allowed to become Chancellor of The Exchequer.

Anybody else fed up to the back teeth of Red Tories Starmer and Reeves endlessly banging on about “tough decisions” that aren’t tough at all?

FINALLY! Starmer should be prosecuted too for supporting genocide and continuing to supply Israel with weapons despite the endless opposition to it from the vast majority of the British public.

2/2 Then 10 minutes from the end with ton of unanswered questions sat in Q&A @KiMcGuinness spent 5 minutes talking about her favourite sportsman. Only time for 2 questions so all first asked ignored and instead she went to 2 people who said how much they admired her. Beyond farcical!

Indeed! And by the way Majority are looking for more candidates to stand in the May elections in Norhtumberland and County Durham next May. They provide support and training for those who support "The Majority" and want things in this country to change for the better. #JustSaying

This one promoting Magazine's "Song From Under The Floorboards" with my favourite lyrics: "I am angry. I am ill. I am ugly as sin. My irritability keeps me alive and kicking. I know the meaning of life - it doesn't help me a bit. I'm no beauty but I know a good thing when I see it"
