I’m running against Stevie but he’s absolutely right to draw attention to the Tory spaceport scandal. Also I’d love to see him wear that spacesuit to the count!

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

Last July Cornwall showed the Conservatives it wouldn’t put up with this nonsense at Westminster. On May 1st it’s time to show them we won’t have it at County Hall either.

While all the headlines focus on the OBR cutting its growth forecast for 2025, it has actually increased the growth forecast in 2026 & every year hereafter. Something you could be forgiven for not learning from most media coverage this morning…

I had to read this twice because it is so completely at odds with the coverage I’ve seen this morning…

I've never seen a nation torch its reputation the way Musk and Trump are torching that of the US. Every day they find a way to make a new segment of the world population detest them. Makes Brexit look like a PR triumph.

Cornwall Council have just voted to increase council tax by the max amount while cutting local services. People unhappy and the ruling Conservative/Indy group heading for a reckoning on May 1st.

In 2019 Nigel Farage's Brexit Party voted against plans to tackle Russian propaganda, calling claims of Russian interference "scare stories"

One of his MEPs was Nathan Gill, who has just been accused in court of taking bribes in exchange for defending Russia in the European Parliament

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists

If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America.

I don't think people here have forgotten the murder of Andrei Litvinenko nor the chemical weapons attack in Salisbury that killed one British citizen, left others gravely ill & recklessly risked the lives & health of hundreds.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.
