A paean to privatised public transport.

Today I had to go from Stockport to Salisbury. So I bought a ticket

Stockport > Bristol > Salisbury

The drive to Stockport should have taken 35 minutes. Satnav said it would take 2 hours, and I'd miss my train.

So I went to Macclesfield, where I found...

Good grief, how stressful and exhausting for you, let alone the costs

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Absolutely, I miss him so much

As Robert Jenrick accuses David Lammy of having a "chequered past", here's a quick reminder of Jenrick's

Supreme Court Rejects Appeal From Ghislaine Maxwell

Look at who wants us to leave the ECHR. If it’s right wing extremists you know that the majority of the people in this country won’t benefit.
Wake up for Christ’s sake and stop sleepwalking towards your own demise.

The government must ensure fair distribution of income 'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

The state we're in

UK full-time employee median wage, £30,816.
4.5m jobs pay less than the real Living Wage.
1.17m workers on zero-hour contracts.
34% of Universal Credit claimants are in work.
16m Britons live in poverty.

Can't build economy on poverty.

Must increase worker share of GDP.

Reform-led Kent county council is set to increase council tax next year. It's almost as if the 'wasteful local authority spending' Farage keeps banging on about isn't really a thing.

In other news, Robbie Gibb, former spin doctor for a Tory PM, former editorial adviser to GB News, & leader of the consortium that bought the Jewish Chronicle in 2020, is still responsible for "upholding the editorial independence of the BBC".

What you are seeing is a co-ordinated effort by every single member of the Billionaire Media across the Western World, trying to get you to blame immigrants, so you don't blame billionaires.

Don't be fooled.

I'm very concerned about all the #GlobalSumudFlotilla detainees, but especially Hannah Schafer, who seems likely to be held in extended detention in Israel. Israeli armed forces have committed grave and multiple breaches of international law in attacking the flotilla and mistreating its crew.

The people (Tories and Reform) who tell you your rights are safe if we leave the ECHR as they’ll replace them with British laws also told you our trade, borders and NHS was safe if we left the EU because they’d negotiate amazing trade deals, take control of our borders and fix the NHS…..

Precisely that

The irony of it happening there.....

Another day of Reform UK silence on Nathan Gill.

Nigel Farage
Richard Tice
Dr David Bull
Paul Nuttall

All served as MEPs alongside him, all members of UKIP and Reform UK.

Did they know?

The silence is deafening.

#ReformRussianBribes

If only the public understood this! Why can’t they?? How can we get it through to them, when they read the likes of the Daily Heil & listen to GB News?

Yet again Sarah you speak so clearly and succinctly, thank you

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Give Greta the Nobel Prize...

UK fifth-worst country in Europe for loss of green space to development Exclusive: 1,680 football pitches of protected natural land in England, Wales and Northern Ireland lost in five years

There’s so much going on that it would be understandable to miss this; but this is serious and it affects all of us.

And all those in government at the time who facilitated should also be prosecuted

Well well well

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. It's time to hold them to account.

Over 35,000 have already signed the petition to change the law. Let’s get it to 40,000🙏

In her Labour conference speech, Chancellor Reeves announced that the Government has so far recovered nearly £400m of funds from Covid fraud, and launched a new "hit squad" to investigate and recover money from fraudsters who exploited government contracts
