The words people associate most closely with Reform are ‘dangerous’ and ‘racist’. To defeat Reform in the Lincolnshire mayoral election the tactical choice is Labour (Jason Stockwood).

Dame Jenkyns (Reform), who is ‘not a proponent of elected mayors’, wishes to be Mayor (or Gauleiter in her case) of Greater Lincolnshire. Voting for her is clearly a vote for Musk/Trump politics. Also note coy remarks about living in Lincolnshire when Gildersome, West Yorks is home.

Interesting by-election result in Park ward, Lincoln. Lib Dems taking the seat from Labour. Unenthusiastic Labour and Conservative voters switching to Lib Dems? Reform beats Conservatives but Reform + Conservatives still losing in an area of mixed demography.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

President Trump has just sacked the Archivist of the United States. I've worked at the National Archives there in Maryland loads of times. Staff were apolitical, unfailingly helpful and knew their subjects inside out. Another sinister and authoritarian move. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

“Donald Trump …… (the) fools who worship him, who think he’s going to change white folks fortunes, when a Mexican or a black person has never been a reason ……. that this country has no fucking safety net for anybody, black, white, brown or purple.” #Books #Booksky #DonaldTrump #MAGA

Fiction from fact: the novel is based around the (surprisingly!) erotic and political correspondence between Prime Minister Herbert Asquith and Venetia Stanley. A sensitve portrayal and vivid picture of gender and class inequalities at the time of the First World War. #💙📚 #BookSky #historicalfiction

I enjoyed this lyrical account of life on a space station. The author succeeds in turning a mass of research into a beautiful and imaginative novel. It’s a true work of science fiction though I doubt many will classify it as such. #BookSky #Books📚 #ScienceFiction
