Outrageous! Such sh**s!
Outrageous. What sh**s!
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch just told viewers (unchallenged) the post Brexit CPTPP trade deal she negotiated is “going to be amazing”
Let’s add a dose of much needed reality to that statement because if that’s an amazing deal heaven help us all
You think that's unselfish? Nah. George then donated all his world-wide royalties from 'Last Christmas' to the Band Aid charity.
I always loved George. Now I love him even more. What a wonderful man he was. ❤️💔
My hunch is that not a single one of the ‘ordinary people’ to whom the ridiculous Kemi Badenoch is trying to appeal can remotely identify with someone who hates sandwiches so much she has steak brought to her by someone for lunch everyday. Apart from being preposterous it would also be v expensive.
“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”
"If people are more willing to admit that they didn’t get everything they hoped for from leaving, then the time is right for an honest conversation about how to achieve that."
“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme”👏
Our youth have been robbed of the freedom of movement we enjoyed - this is the absolute least the Gov’t can do for them

Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country

Most definitely! Particularly Musk
We need an urgent inquiry in the UK into foreign interference in our politics & media.
…one which needs to advise rules for Parliament to enact before the next General Election hits.
I’m very jet lagged, but I can’t for the life of me understand the Louise Haigh fuss. I mean, at one point the last Tory government was allowing people being actively investigated for sexual assault to keep the whip. Is it the jet lag, or yet another case of shameless Tory client media hypocrisy?
🔴The Sheer Scale of the Conservative Local Government Auditing Scandal Is Only Now Becoming Clear
Billions of pounds in spending remains unaccounted for, with the National Audit Office unable to sign off the nation’s accounts

There is a drip feed of media criticism aimed at bringing down the Labour Party using the same drip feed strategy that brought us Brexit.
Anyone know if this government could reinstate Leveson 2?
So true. 💯
Hear from the new co-Presidents of the European Movement, Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve KC, about why it is vital that we overturn the calamity of Brexit, and reclaim our place in Europe.
Happy International Men's Day! On that note, here's a familiar song to hum that we adapted with the amazing Prostate Cancer UK four years ago, when Alfie & Tom could sing high: youtu.be/IkVLe_qI2dw
Get tested = save men (like Grandad)

In these dangerous times it is even MORE imperative that the UK rejoins the EU.
if you agree sign to send a clear message to Keir Starmer.

Screenshot of my tweet announcing that we have big news, but you have to go to Blusky to read it. There is a grey box under the post reading: “This Post was deleted by the Post author. Learn more.”
📣 Reader, I certainly did *NOT* delete this X post.
In fact, it’s still on my X feed, just with uncharacteristically low engagement.
Can we all guess why? I venture that Space Karen might be feeling a bit sensitive.
Jeez. Boris Johnson is now on French radio saying “We forget all this now because it was two or three years ago but when we had the pandemic, thanks to Brexit we had the chance to do the vaccinations in England much earlier”
I’ve debunked this absolute boll**** many times👇
Mhairi Black, "I watched America's comments today where they were saying how outrageous it was thar Russia is taking Ukrainian land, targeting civilians, targeting infrastructure"
"Yet, not that far away when Netanyahu is doing the same thing" @mhairiblack.bsky.social
If you feel the same, spread the word.
One of the many so called benefits? 🤪

Without trade unions & the workers willing to back them we wouldn’t have
• a minimum wage
• maternity & paternity rights
• pension provision
• holiday & sickness entitlements
