Bree - Don't blame me I voted Remain in '75 & '16

Grumpy old woman, loves dogs, sci fi and my family. Loathed the last Tory government, not too impressed by the current one either. Boomers may have voted for Brexit but it is Gen X who insist on maintaining it! No DMs

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

Heโ€™s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

You should be able to have a party which says "actually these are reasonable ideas... and the only thing holding it back is people not having faith and confidence that enough other people support those ideas" ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

The effect of increasing the minimum wage but not controlling the price of essentials is that almost everyone will end up on the minimum wage and still be in poverty.

You cannot make people better off without cutting profits.

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Also even if there is Top Secret material justifying a ban, itโ€™s very difficult I think to argue that retired GPs and Quaker students holding up a cardboard sign are party to that information or responsible for it

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

โ€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Actionโ€

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law theyโ€™ve been forced to enforce.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to change how judges interpret the European Convention on Human Rights โ€“ a move that risks weakening everyoneโ€™s protections.ย ย 

The ECHR has become a convenient scapegoat for challenges around migration and sovereignty.

Donald Trump has brought Fascism to the USA, there will never be another fair election there, even when he dies.

Nigel Farage promises exactly the same, he is Donald Trump's puppet.

We can't tax billionaires, because they might take their tax avoidance to another country. But we can drive out brilliant people who do much-needed work, contribute to our society and culture, pay tax, create jobs, and have done nothing wrong. That's fine, apparently.

Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.

As far as we know, the BBC didn't officially refused to interview @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social during conference - but leaving out our Jewish party leader in the week a terrorist murdered and terrorised Jewish people in his own city feels like a very deliberate editorial call

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow thatโ€™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?

The msm pursued the Rayner story in such detail it forced her resignation . Now thereโ€™s a much bigger scandal concerning Farage of possible treason itโ€™s like theyโ€™ve forgotten how to spell investigate & corruption. Itโ€™s not only Farage who has a Russian problem, if our msm protects him we all do .

The thin end of the wedge.....why don't the government do something positive about the reason for the protests rather than trying to ban them? Listen to the people who elected you rather than the lobbyists who are paying you!

The most widely accepted definition of a terrorist organisation is a group that kills or severely injures civilians for an ideological motive.

How many people has Palestine Action killed? 0
How many people have they tried to kill or severely injure? 0
