Badenoch kept quiet when Tory councillors defected en masse to Reform in time for the May 2025 local elections.

RW politicians are only interested in maintaining their wealth and their power.

As I understand it, the BBC says it bases its Question Time line-up on the results of the last election.

So how come there was a Deform Ltd person on the panel in St Andrews, Fife, last night when they have no MSPs?

The Greens have 7 and the Lib Dems 5. Neither were represented.

The Founding Myth of Morgan McSweeney Reports of Keir Starmer's chief adviser's supposed campaigning genius do not appear to match up with the facts

#Mcsweeney killing the #Labour party with his ineptitude.

Why didn't Labour have a concrete plan in place from the get-go so that they could hit the ground running and launch a flood of reformative legislation?

Understandably bad workers but bio ethanol isn't a good thing, You're using food/farming resources to make the fuel & ethanol is about 30% less efficient than petrol, though the carbon emissions are lower the petrol it's nowhere near as low as an EV, especially if the energy comes from renewables.

Anti-arms groups plan mass protests over expansion of UK nuclear deterrent Expansion decision ‘undermines democracy’ and will mobilise new generation of protesters, groups warn

Nuclear weapons are a waste of money, they only benefit the profit takers and their use would see the end of humanity.

There is no defence, they are a fallacy of military doctrine, so creating more, buying more just invites more war pigs to the trough.

Hamas has killed 50 Palestinian fighters armed by Israel in Gaza, faction’s associates say Militia led by Yasser abu Shabab says Israeli troops stepped in to defend the militia gang backed by its forces

Israel is determined to destroy Palestine from without & from within.

Arming criminals apposed to Hamas rather than supporting the opposition. Which is what they'd do if they truly wanted an alternative to the death & destruction they are currently delivering.

#BBCRadio4 news at 6 pm, headline news is Reform and ex chair being put in charge of some DOGE lite programme.

#ChrisMason then credits Farage, without any irony, of being able to turn a crisis into a headline.

What exactly is the BBC trying to achieve by letting in fascist through the front door?

Agree here, there's nothing getting blocked. What we don't have is the levels of investment that London gets.

As a widely travelled southerner living in the north the difference between those areas with and without tends to be much lower levels of investment in the cultural life of the community.

The UK government’s final chance to act is NOW.

Laila Soueif is at death’s door after 242 days on hunger strike — demanding freedom for her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a British-Egyptian activist unjustly imprisoned in Egypt for years.

The clock has run out. Free Alaa. Save Laila.

Labour’s poll ratings have plummeted – so is Starmer’s future in question? Dissatisfaction among MPs has created a febrile mood, with ambitious cabinet ministers assessing their options

Labour needs to be bold & progressive in its tax & spend policy.

The upcoming #SpendingReview is a perfect opportunity & would help their polling.

But #Starmer and #Labour have been neutered by the right, forced into the centre & now use the language of #Reform

You make a fair point & I did hesitate in using the data.

However, where I live in Lancashire I'm afraid that this is what we're hearing on the doorstep & what we saw in the votes.

Tories are dead etc., Labour are unreliable etc., so I'm voting for the guy who I've seen on social media, TicToc etc

But Reform have made headway where they needed to. Cummings and co and all the foreign money has done what was required.

Next, like their council counterparts, Tory MPs will jump ship close to the GE.

So now is the time to fight them with bold socialist policies.
