The Labour Left is a bunch of fantasists.

You've got your memories, Kev, and he lives on in the memory of those who knew him and the next generations.

My dad died at 90 back in 2019. I miss him still, but when I look at his grandchildren I I so happy. Here is my son DJing at Wilderness last weekend.

It has got got the stage, we have to respect people's belief in a lie for fear of offending them.

Any concern is 'legitimate' if someone can be persuaded to believe it!

Make sure you expose the lies told about immigration in your show today or tomorrow.

I can't find the stats but another survey showed that Leave voters believe an even higher proportion of immigrants are 'illegals'.

The richest 10% own 60% of all the wealth in the UK, and their share is growing.

Let's hold a demo against this.

Why not demonstrate against this rather than scapegoating asylum seekers.

The very wealthy manage very nicely.

Same with Brexit.

It's the poor who are hit hardest.

Why no demos for better NHS dental care or cheaper public transport?

40% is a sufficiently large number to place them all under suspicion, which is wrong.

But why don't they demonstrate for better NHS dental care or for cheaper public transport?

Or against gross inequality (made worse by Brexit, of course).

I think we know why.

It's amazing that these people do not protest for better dental care or free after school clubs, or cheaper public transport or against dirty rivers.

Why don't they protest against growing inequality.

Do they not realise that they are being manipulated to ignore their real problems?

Populism always screws the least well off whilst offering them the usual scapegoats.

Brexit has hit the poorest the hardest.

Ditto MAGA.

In the UK you can file your income tax online for free - perfect for people with simple tax affairs. There is no reason why anyone with uncomplicated income sources should have to pay for an accountancy service (which may well be online anyway).

No reason other than corporate greed and corruption.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Yes, educating parents and kids is the way forward, not cack handed legislation like this.

Alas, they are very stubborn.

Alas, Starmer appeases the burghers of the Red Wall, who were the most beguiled the 'fear and loathing' narrative of Brexit and voted against their own best interests. They were hit hardest by Johnson's Brexit deal, so they must be distracted with, well, more fear and loathing!

'Stop the boats!'

Well, that isn't on offer and there is no Fรผhrerin.

The idea that we Brits can prosper 'renfermรฉs sur notre รฎle, loin des bruits du monde' (to paraphrase Maupassant) is pure fantasy.

We need to work with, not against the rest of Europe.

Global opinion on Trump is polarized and largely negative. Per Pew's June 2025 survey of 24 nations, a median 34% express confidence in his leadership, with 62% lacking itโ€”lowest in Europe and allies, where he's seen as arrogant and dangerous.

'Stand up to woke'

That is taken by many gullible souls to mean 'Tolerate racism, mysognony, homophobia, inequality, xenophobia and fascism'

Not 'question all extreme points of view be they on the left, right or in the supposed centre'

The real meaning of woke is 'alert to inequality'.
