The dude that built our cabinet was telling me that he didn’t teach his son “lefty loosey, righty tighty”. He taught him that the left liberates and the right oppresses. 😂😂😂

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico.
Torquemadas the lot of them.

Labour bending over to appease Murdoch or trying to imitate the right will not help matters. The billionaire press barons only care about money, not policy, or even Britain. We need a govt that takes a firm stand for the majority and remembers its roots, not Poundland one nation Tories.

Having robbed our youth of the freedoms we enjoyed whilst in the EU, surely a youth mobility scheme is the least we can give them - it falls far short of “free movement” because it only allows individuals to come for a limited period & does not allow them to settle in the UK or EU member state

A big part of the reason the rich bad guys are winning is that they understand that buying mainstream media and social media isn’t about making money on that mainstream media or social media. It’s about power and control, and making MUCH more money as a result of that power and control.
