A UK politician with actual common sense & integrity! Wonders will never cease...
I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The private family life of twice divorced Nigel Farage, who had children with both of his ex wives.... and now lives with his girlfriend.... is none of my business... just as the private family lives of everyone else are none of his.
Nigel Farage:

"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."

Farage has two ex-wives.

I agree with #EdDavey:

“The facts don’t lie. The BBC is fuelling Reform’s rise by plastering Farage across our screens without providing the proper scrutiny the public deserves. We need the BBC to live up to its promise of accurate and impartial coverage that represents the whole of the UK...”

In the UK, there are about 22 firearm homicides per year.

In the USA there's an average of 50 every single day.

Labour have been in power over 11 months. They also have a gigantic majority.

Emergency legislation can be passed in days. They've had nearly a year.

There is no reason for them to be perpetuating any Tory idiocies... unless they want to.

So "but that's a Tory policy" doesn't wash as an excuse.

No, Britain did not get off lightly in the Trump tariffs. And no, it is not much of a vindication of Brexit. Or at the least seeing it is an economic dividend is to conveniently look away from the more substantial economic costs.

New writing from me.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.
