All Nigel Farage has done his entire life is swindle and con money out of people. And it is all he is ever going to do.

RP if you agree with this. ❤️🇳🇴

The devolution debate in the Commons is peak Starmers Labour. Entirely dressed up in "giving power to local communities" but clearly in detail moving power even further away from citizens. Labour want to transfer public funds to private wealth & don't want people to notice!

People on the Right are just obsessed with money and power and don't give a sh*t about anything else. That is how it is, and how it has always been.

And I carry on warning people about #Starmer not being a #Labour man, both here and over 'there', in the other place..

BREAKING: After cheering on the overthrowing of Assad and helping to install a proscribed terrorist organisation in Syria, British people agree those Syrian refugees better not fucking dare come to our country x

It will take more than building houses to save Starmer. The electorate is poor and demoralised by over forty years of Neoliberalism hollowing out their communities for corporate greed. If Labour doesn't offer change, people will look elsewhere. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Good morning,everyone. Joe Jackson is a truly magnificent singer,songwriter,musician,and arranger. Here's Matt singing a bit of one of his great songs. Hope you like it xx

On the 6th day of Christmas, Kier Starmer gave to me: 6 Milestones, 5 Pledges, 4 Targets, 3 Missions, 2 Plans for change and 1 more day without vision or hope.

I had a wonderful Erasmus experience - 6 months of study in Utrecht with 30 others. Horizons and possibilities expanded. I am so sad that my children and their friends do not have the same opportunity.

This is a graphic illustration of why we must make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform in the world, say boll**** to Elon Musk & send him packing. We CAN do it www.politics.co.uk/news/2024/12...

My take on Twitter is that, to a certain degree, you can post what you like - but the algorithm makes sure very few people get to see your tweet

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, the Independent Alliance have written to the Prime Minister asking if he will comply with the ruling. The UK government must decide: is it on the side of Israeli impunity or international law?

According to the government's own figures, means-testing Winter Fuel Payments will push 50,000–100,000 more pensioners into poverty annually. In the sixth largest economy, no-one should have to choose between heating or eating. That’s why I voted against this harmful policy.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

Isreal's far right government: we are committing genocide Palestine: Israel are committing genocide The UN: yes, Israel are committing genocide David Lammy: no, I didn't think it's genocide This is a source of national shame...

The truth on Gaza. "This is a situation of daily atrocities, we are waiting to die."

Only 16000 attended the France v Israel match last night as thousands chose to boycott. Don't play with genocide. Kick Israel out of football.

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

If I know you from the Musky dark side, please wave. Going to give this a proper go.
