I am a Brummie living in Cornwall who believes that Cornwall is a nation and deserves recognition as such.
I am an atheist and probably centre left.
I enjoy philosophy, wild camping and computer strategy games.

Interesting to note, as one Deputy Labour leader passes away, and the latest dispatched her 4th opposite number yesterday, I think Labour have had 4 deputy leaders since 1997. The Tories have had 10 in that time, and I don't think they had one at all for 12 of those years when Cameron was in charge.

The Crown engine houses at Botallack in Cornwall UK. It’s definitely worth a visit. It’s a place I haven’t been to for a few years, I really need to make the effort and go back.

A Devonwall Mayor would be largely voted in by Devon, and a Combined Authority would be dominated by Devon politicians.
As a national minority, we have the right to make our own decisions over Cornish language, heritage, culture and economic rights. We won't be run from Devon.

Something for Cornwall Council to read when Labour demands that we be run from Devon.

"It's 'free speech' when they 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 what's being said."
After backlash over a police investigation into a journalist's tweet, The News Agents discuss the right’s so-called "free speech absolutism" which, as it turns out, comes with conditions.

Thoughts on "echo chambers."
Twitter was one anyway and had, in fact, become a gigantic echo chamber in itself - full of racist arseholes shouting nonsense and sucking up to Musk.
If I'm in an echo chamber, I at least want to be surrounded by intelligent people saying interesting things.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻♂️
