Beautifully written and as a very long time friend and visitor to the country, I felt and smelled and saw every sentence here. I too have witnessed the decay of Cuba into the rusty shell it is today. No threat to anyone. And certainly deserving of our support.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Latest in my ‘Unofficial Byline Times Public Transport Giveaway’ campaign… 💜 🚆
Very useful look at the Greens - @adambienkov.bsky.social’s piece particularly - which may give clues as to why the party (whether you like them or not) has won its first UK by-election

BBC newsroom is anti-Reform, ex News chief admits
Deborah Turness, who quit as the BBC's News CEO after a Panorama scandal over a Donald Trump speech edit, has opened up about attitudes at the corporation.
Striking 👀
Ex-BBC News CEO: "I personally overruled internal editorial policy to give Nigel Farage primetime exposure... he ought to be on Question Time... to get a big Panorama interview. Even though the math didn't say he earned it... look at the polling. We will be out of step with the public."

It's always someone else's fault! Doesn't that sound like the right wing? It comes right out of the Trump playbook.
Look at yourselves Reform.

Is there anyone Reform haven’t blamed for losing the by-election❓
They blamed @bylinetimes.bsky.social👇🏼, family voting, sectarian voting, Muslims, Greens, dogs influencing owners (especially migrant breeds Pugs, Shih Tzu, Afghan hounds etc)
Maybe ppl just don’t like clueless, racist, bigots 🤷🏼♂️🙄

"what really matters this morning is that an extreme and divisive candidate, with a history of dabbling in racist comments and discredited race science, has been rejected by voters, while a concerted political and media campaign to scare voters about a “Green Menace”, has failed."

'Shah, the MP for Bradford West – whose party’s candidate came third in a seat Labour won with a 13,400 majority in 2024 – told Byline Times that the claims by Reform’s candidate Matt Goodwin and his party leader Nigel Farage “demean” voters.'
