Nigel Farage, dereliction of duty Tomorrow sees the important meeting of Clacton Town Board at 12.30 am. This is one that the MP should attend and always did. Last time he was in Florida, this time he's in France on holiday. #AnywhereButClacton

Grifter in chief 🤮

REFORM VOTERS READ THIS YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! Farage wants us to have the US health system, good for the rich only. How healthy are your finances?

A YOUTH MOBILITY SCHEME will enable all our youth to travel & experience different cultures - not just the wealthy. It will enable young people to make friends & connections with people from other countries, develop skills & knowledge & build international ties. Who wouldn’t want that?

This cannot be repeated enough

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride says the leaked recording of Chris Philp, of him admitting the UK can't return asylum seekers to Europe post-Brexit (despite promises made at the time), is just "blindingly obvious". Well, yeah. But it wasn't made blindingly obvious to those who voted Leave, was it?

2025: Paul Brand from ITV News explains how immigration shot up after we took back control of our borders with Brexit 2019: Boris Johnson says that immigration numbers will come down because Brexit allows us to lower migration

The Economist estimates that the annual cost of the Reform/Farage promises is £200bn and savings of around £100bn, due to cuts in public services and deep austerity. Reform/Farage will promise anything to grab power, but will face the Truss moment. Under scrutiny Reform will wriggle.

DOGE was never about "efficiency”

Interesting to view facts against perceptions.

Another interesting one

Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark… Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.

It's grim up north

Waste, fraud and abuse, my ass. "...the government is now spending more, day to day, than was spent in nine of the last 10 years. The exception: 2021, when the government was spending tillions to fight the coronavirus pandemic and prevent an economic disaster." www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-p...

Americans - listen up! At the Bylines Network in the UK, we've taken on a new project to amplify (non-MAGA!) American voices at a time when there's so much damage to people's lives that the US media can't or won't keep up. But we do citizen journalism - we're collecting the stories. Take a look. 👇

MPs are elected to serve their constituents, not launch their TV careers. We need a clear limit on hours spent and money earned from second jobs. Add you name to our letter. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/170331/...

This was not in the manifesto I voted for.

"...a top-down reorganisation of NHS England and Integrated Care Boards is neither necessary nor desirable..." The inconvenient bit of the Darzi review? www.gov.uk/government/p...

Listen to this and share far and wide please folks podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... #Broligarchy #NerdReich

I just signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

I love park run, the ethos, the people and the North East of England host some great runs. Why they left out Flatts Lane is beyond me. Maybe they dont like steep hills.

Keep calling out attacks om women.

I've started making a list of #US products to boycott, and non-US alternatives: github.com/happysegfaul... Suggestions are very welcome! Europeans, Canadians, Latin Americans and other victims of #Trump 's aggressive trade war need to stand together and support each other. #BoycottUSA

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Goodbye to using Airbnb. Have already reduced Amazon use, opting for other UK based online shops where i can. I have also cancelled Kindle and Amazon music subscription and using Facebook a lot less. To be honest feel better for it.

Well thats me looking for a new beer supplier #brewdog no longer the brand it was.

We urgently need to rejoin EU

I voted Labour but we need to evaluate if leaving the EU was the right course. Ask ourselves if staying out is the right thing for the people of Britain, using facts and figures not emotion.
