I’d hoped to grow a “Mohican”, but instead I grew older.
Then, angry young man.
Now, still angry but older.
Lefty by socialisation & birthright.
Occasionally snappy (& sweary), but house trained to a high standard.

Labour were broken a long time ago.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.

A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Time to make hope normal again.

If you saw the vile Zionist supporting mob assembled outside Aston Villa’s ground, there supporting Maccabi Tel Aviv and its contemptible Zionist thugs

If you’ve ever encountered toxic far right supporters on “X”

Do not think Reform a “Respectable” alternative.

Remember, Refom enabled them.

The Scottish government provides every family with a newborn with a ‘baby box’ of essentials to help them get started.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is bringing the boxes to NY.

Why can’t we have obviously good & nice things like this under a Labour government UK wide?

I have absolutely no idea collectively, what sort of society Kendall, Reeves, Lammy, Cooper, Streeting & Starmer are aiming to create.

But I can tell you one thing, it’s not going to be a just, equatable, fair or pleasant and tolerant place to live, & it’s not going to offer all equal opportunity.

If govts want to cut welfare spending they need to tackle

Poverty
Low wages
Inequitable distribution of income/wealth
Poor healthcare
Corporate profiteering
High rents and cost of living
Regressive taxation

They rarely do.

Instead they scapegoat and punish the poor, old, sick, disabled,

Starmer needs to keep his nose out & his mouth shut when it comes to negotiations of ceasefire between Iran & Izreal. He is not now, never has been, nor ever will be - up to the job.

He’s been bought by Netanyahu & there’s the small issue of his family ties, as well as those rent boys!

Trump holds the purse strings of Netanyahus Izreal.

The quickest way for Iran to win Trump over and achieve an harmonious and lasting peace, is to; appeal to his absurdly immense ego and offer him money and under age sex with girls.

Still at least they haven’t “lost” 70,000 people & had 500,000 “injured” by a mysterious force comprised of genocidal racist, child rapists and indoctrinated mass murdering lunatics who are now starving the survivors to death.

So, chin up chaps!

There’s only one genocidal manic/international war criminal with his finger on the nuclear button (300-500 of ‘em) and as we all know, he ain’t Iranian.

Check out Israels “Samson” Directive / Protocol, then tell me who shouldn’t have a nuclear arsenal at their disposal.
