Chris Mason on the budget this morning, completely negative. Discussing the removal of the two-child limit which is appreciated by most, he found a negative slant "There isn't universal support for it though on the Labour benches", he makes no effort to hide his bias.

"Reform slide to lowest polling since April"
Great news as people are waking up to the reality of Reform, corruption, racism, misogyny, failing councils and Farage a man finally showing his true character.

Hangama Amiri -Home Isn’t One Place
A textile tribute to the Afghan diaspora
There is an underlying simple humour to her tapestries, as she explores community, and the essence of home in her work. I'm a fan because her work is vibrant but truthful.

Richard Tice and Reform take note, Trump has disbanded DOGE as it failed to save the money it promised. For anyone daft enough to consider voting Reform, their economic plan focuses on DOGE too, DOGE is a con which is why Reform are hiking up council tax.

Now that we know over 80% of twitter users are right wing fake accounts with many originating in Russia, Nigeria and Bangladesh, and lets not forget China, surely now our Government can see the absurdity of staying there. Time to leave you are only feeding Musk's influence and control.

European leaders stand firm with Zelenskyy, whilst not rejecting Trumps (Russia's) peace plan they have shown clear intent to strengthen the deal in Ukraine's favour "Strengthening the plan really means that they want to rebalance it towards Ukraine's position and make it tougher on Russia"

In the 7 Council By-elections this week we see more success for the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party. Reform did take 2 seats but from their usual targets the Conservatives.

Gill is the first step to removing the traitors undermining our democracy. He was bribed by Russia but the connections can't have stopped with him, the power has always been with Farage. We don't want a repeat of Brexit, Russia's influence in our politics and to certain individuals must be stopped
