Works in IT. Talks about random stuff.
Took some photos at #stjamespark yesterday when I was able to get a last minute #nufc ticket for the Burnley game.

As Jonathan Gullis joins Reform UK, it's only fair to remind people of this.

All forgotten, is it, Dickie? ~AA

The new #yourparty has voted for “collective leadership” by 52% to 48%

It seems that ratio re-emerges with regularity. Possibly with the same chaotic results. A ratio without a supermajority to sustain it.

60% of the British public agree: our voting system is not fit for purpose.

The upcoming Elections Bill is a chance to fix it.

I just signed a @makevotesmatter.bsky.social petition to the Democracy Minister, calling for Proportional Representation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe...
Petition to Democracy Minister
First Past The Post undermines our politics. It leaves most of us with MPs we didn't vote for, and keeps delivering results that don't represent public opinion. The upcoming Elections Bill is a chan...

#bbcqt had Matt Goodwin on. A right wing presenter from Reform friendly #gbnews

Goodwin decided that every problem in the uk was really immigration. Everything could be solved by deporting brown people.

This odious view was at least challenged by the audience. The BBC allow this racism.

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

Lord #Hestletine - pro-European, pro-state intervention, anti-fascist, supporter of the ECHR seems now to the left of Kier #Starmwr due to the change of the political spectrum.

The job of British Ambassador to the USA should be given to someone of the highest moral and ethical standards. Unfortunately, it was given to Peter Mandelson. Sacked twice from Tony Blair’s cabinet.

Phase 2 of Kier #starmer #labour government started Monday 1st Sept. It would seem that phase 3 started on Friday 5th.

Have phases replaced missions, steps and foundations?

The word “reset” now joins “taking back control” and “reform” as both meaningful and meaningless.

After an EU reset we have a government reset. The substance seems far less than the headline.

2025: Yvette Cooper suspends the rights of child refugees to come to the UK, effectively rejecting Article 8 of the ECHR

2016: Yvette Cooper making a passionate plea for child refugees to come to the UK

Cooper spent over a decade speaking up for child refugees, now she rejects Article 8 of ECHR

#Immigration is #brexit 2.0

#labour didn’t oppose #brexit and #corbyn was useless. #starmer won’t defend human rights and kneels at the feet of #farage

Disgusting. We are heading for right wing darkness.

A referendum on PR is not necessary. Parliament is sovereign. Referendums are notoriously bad things. People just vote against whatever the government says. Preferential voting for mayors didn’t need a referendum.

I am a British guy but #trump wants the #washington #redskins to come back.

If it’s all about Washington why not call the team the Washington Epsteins in honour of Trump’s old friend.
