Retired ex care worker, go fishing to be immersed in nature. Wife's loving description is "grumpy, stubborn old bugger". Despair at the state of politics, I don't expect to witness socialism again in my lifetime, more's the pity. Take care friends, be kind
I wonder which of the well-connected house building companies will get the lucrative contract to build our slums and ghettoes of the future? And which MP's will be getting back-handers in brown envelopes to oil the wheels? You can almost write the headlines now ...

You don't hear MPs talking about being a member of 'The Labour Friends of Israel' group anymore do you?

New Labour MP's should start job hunting ready for the end of this Government when they will get voted out again after Rachel (err, umm) Reeves consigns the poorest to a bleak future. This is not a socialist Labour party.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such
Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

Nigel Farage no longer has majority control of Reform UK
A board will be set up to lead & direct the party, with members voting on policies at annual conference’s
Members can launch no-confidence motions in the party leader. Wonder how long it will be for this to start happening?

The reasons I have chosen the Greens over Labour is this:
The tone of politics is important.
Surely that is now more obvious than ever?
Politics needs a reset.

Both the following statements are true:
1) the NHS is badly damaged after 14 years of Tory austerity, cuts and privitisation
2) Labours plans for more privitisation and more austerity will cause further harm to the NHS

If you give more contracts to the private sector, staff get pulled away from the NHS to the private sector.
Private capacity grows, NHS capacity shrinks.
It's not temporarily reliving the NHS - it's killing it off.
The private sector receives 20% of NHS funds for helping 10% of patients.

A reminder that Sadiq Khan successfully won three elections in a row by large majorities against Conservative opponents, one of whom, Shaun Bailey, was then given a seat in the House of Lords for life.
Funnily enough I don't remember the Daily Mail describing that as a "reward for failure"

Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.
