Norwich Left

He's not stupid - he's f*cking thick as they come. Thick both intellectually and emotionally. He's also venal and narcissistic. The fact that Farage allowed him to be the Reform UK candidate shows how shallow Farage is.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

😱

That Maghoma looks so good it wouldn't surprise me if he tears a hamstring in a minute #ncfc

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

How's the lambo Matt Goodwin?

RIP Anglia Square. Poem by the Norwich bard Ron Nevett.

Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

Just as Apartheid South Africa was dismantled & replaced with a multi-ethnic democracy for all, the #JewishSupremacist apartheid ethno-state of #Israel must be dismantled.

Dear Stephen, I am writing to follow up on my recent remarks in the Adjournment Debate on NHS Dentists [5 February 2026] regarding the acute shortage of NHS dental provision across East Anglia and the readiness of the University of East Anglia to open a new dental school. As you are aware, the University of East Anglia has secured accreditation from the General Dental Council, its new facilities will be completed this year, and it is prepared to recruit its first cohort from May 2026, with teaching due to commence in September 2027. The remaining barrier is the confirmation of funded undergraduate places, without which the school cannot begin teaching. As I have raised on a number of occasions, the Norfolk and Waveney catchment area continues to experience some of the poorest access to NHS dentistry in England, with at least 3,000 patients for every dentist carrying out any NHS work, compared with around 2,220 patients per dentist nationally.

We have a dental desert in East Anglia, & the UEA stands ready to open a new dental school. They have the necessary permissions, but crucially are waiting for the Govt to confirm funded undergraduate dental places.

I've again pressed the Minister on when this will be available.

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

And Peter Mandelson played a huge part in destroying that hope.

A much missed man

Dead right. And it's an especially noxious form of 'Westminster silly buggers' peculiar to a particular faction of the Labour Party. It is very similar to the 'Norwich Constituency Labour Party silly buggers' played by my local cohort of the same faction.

Bpro' are the best opposition I've seen this season. #ncfc

24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to
vote Green or Lib Dem.

0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Who funds the Free Speech Union? Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Breckland is beautiful. ... And dry. ❤️

What kind of sicko confuses protecting (mainly) women and children from sexual abuse with limiting freedom of speech?

Amongst everything else, I'm thinking about how eager the UK press were initially to swallow the Met's lie that Jean Charles de Menezes was a terrorist after they executed him in a tube station

Sucking Avenue - early black and while postcard showing short terraces of brick-built council housing

I'm beginning the New Year appropriately (for me) with this post on the fine city of Norwich where the council built over 7500 houses in the 1920s and 30s, rehousing 30,000 people - The Mile Cross Estate, ‘providing adequate living accommodation for all’
