Yes I’ll admit it All of us from the main political parties are running a bit scared of Reform. Whatever you say about them,voters recognise that Reform NEVER flip flop, NEVER perform U Turns, NEVER stray from their strongly held beliefs. They are at least to be admired for this!

I no longer want to hear about corruption in Russia, China, Iran, North Korea or Venezuela, England is the cradle of corruption. London or one of the country’s overseas colonies is where the world launders its illicit money. This country wrote the guidelines on corruption, then sold it to the world.

Paddling the Severn with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social, I was strictly told not to fall in. After what water companies have been dumping here, I didn't need convincing! Ofwat is failing badly. We need a tough new Clean Water Authority that actually holds the water companies to account.

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

Mental health services in the UK are already a massively underfunded farce. Removing funding doesn't stop people needing the services, it does risk exacerbating the mental health issues they face, along with loss of life. Services need investment not cuts. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

A lot of people who are angry with Labour are going to sit out the local elections. That's just what Farage and the Brexit media want. If you're fed up with Labour then vote LibDems or Green. Don't help fascism by abstaining. We urgently need to burst Farage's bubble. #Vote4Democracy

Of course cutting support for disabled individuals won't "get more people into work" #r4today. PIP is not an out of work benefit, it helps many people access accommodations to be able to work. Cutting it stops them being able to. You cannot "grow the economy" by discarding disabled people.

If, like me, you're not having a great mental health time at the moment, give yourself a pass. It's not just you. Everything sucks. It's natural to feel shitty when things are shit. You're not wrong for feeling that way. In fact if people aren't feeling the stress of the moment, it's weird. 😂

Chance of catching bosses who don't pay minimum wage? UK has 36.9m workers and only 1,490 labour market inspectors. Employers can expect a visit about once every five hundred years. Govt pushing deregulation. Abusive practices won't be checked. Deregulation emboldens bad bosses.

Britons cutting back on spending. Not surprising. Real average wage unchanged since 2008, two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, frozen tax thresholds, unchecked corporate profiteering. 1% has more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Must redistribute. End austerity.
