Streeting on Radio 4 right now is actually kinda masterful. Good humoured, as plain-speaking as possible.

Wes Streeting has always impressed me and, after his performances this morning, if there wasn’t a campaign to make him leader there certainly will be one now.

Sensible Europeans will be rooting for Orban’s ouster with a Péter Magyar/Tisza victory in Spring 2026. The ejection of Putin’s stooge and Trump’s rim-lick is long overdue. Unlike the Toad, Magyar/Tisza pledge to reaffirm commitment to the #EU, #NATO & declare Russia an aggressor.

So New York billionaires are going to flock to UK to escape wealth tax, says The Times despite The Times saying repeatedly that billionaires are fleeing Britain to escape wealth tax. It’s almost like they’re just making this shite up! 🤡 www.thetimes.com/uk/london/ar...

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Any concessions agreed as part of Starmer's so-called 'reset' will come at a price.
Surely it would be better to pay more & get much more back in return, not least our EU citizenship?

👀 'Decades on, as UK marks Remembrance Sunday to honour those who contributed to the war effort, the sacrifices of many Kenyan soldiers, like Mr Ing'ati, remain unrecognised.

The world knows little of their service & they were not formerly commemorated in the way their white counterparts were.' 🕯

Who would have thought that Nigel Farage's prescription to grasp the "opportunities of Brexit" would be to slash protections, wages and welfare support of ordinary people, in order to cut taxes on millionaires?

Farage wants a UK safe for oligarchs and despots.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Britain can't have sustainable growth without Rejoining the EU.

When Rachel Reeves looks to the budget, perhaps she forgot that Brexit costs us £140 bn pa.

See www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FZLQW9TQ for a comprehensive appraisal of the #RejoinEU opportunities and
#Brexit threats.

Gotta be honest that after a 450 mile, 7 hour roundtrip to Lancaster, clearing child 8's flat, loading it into the car and unloading at his Mums I was hoping for more than 5 and a half hours sleep. Can't wait for babysitting duties this afternoon

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.
