FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

This annoying term “awful April” just needs putting in perspective. I didn’t hear any such term back then when things were spiralling out of control

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

The right-wing cannot win unless they are allowed to lie freely. They dress their actions up as 'protecting free speech' but that's the truth of the situation.

A new year & another way to feel older than I feel, when listeners phone in to radio programmes to chat & request songs. Great, they’re requesting tunes from my teens & 20s, but the people all sound like my grandparents & it sounds odd to my “young” ears!

If the richest person in the world is going to have this level of influence over world politics going forward, it seems to me only right that the views of the poorest person on Earth should be given equal weight, y'know, really balance things out.

A homeless person doesn't cost you anything, that's why they are there with nothing. It is the billionaire with everything, who still won't pay your wages or pay tax, who is costing you everything.

We have to ridicule these bastards. They’re thin skinned & need to be called out for what they are. Everything they do can be picked apart to expose them for the charlatans & grifters they really are

Protests the Media won't support. NHS strikes, anti-Brexit, Climate Change, Government corruption. Protests the Media will support. Tax dodging for millionaires and billionaires. You know why.

The problem is not the EU but rather the last Gov’t negotiated the first trade deal in history which actually involved walling the country off from a trading bloc made up of its nearest neighbours - making it harder both to sell your stuff & buy their stuff. Some might call that economic lunacy

It’s the time of year for knocking out Christmas wreaths for family & friends. Feeling festive working with winter plants, tunes on radio, & Storm Darragh blowing outside. Cotoneaster, holly, mistletoe, yew, cypress, iris seed pods, skimmia, hydrangea, & eucalyptus #christmaswreath #wreathmaking

The Tories won’t want to hear this. They accuse Labour of “giving away British assets” over the Chagos Islands and Elgin Marbles – yet they’ve been selling off crown jewels for decades. Here are 8 things the Tories flogged (and the damage it caused):

Mistletoe season is here again. What a magical plant, a parasite growing out of my apple trees. These are from seeds planted 8 years ago. Every March I take ripe seeds out when running & plant some in every apple tree I come across. Loads of young mistletoes all over the place now! #mistletoe

Last run of autumn on the last day of autumn. Along stretch of the Tyne between Scotswood & Newburn Bridges where dozens of rowers from all over were competing. Great the things you stumble upon when out for a run!

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.
