I don't agree that Kevin Sinfield deserves a knighthood.
Kevin deserves a peerage, the Knight of the Garter and the freedom of the North of England at least.

Collectivising Surrey: A Tragedy in One Act The mansion tax isn’t a revolution - but judging by the screaming, you’d think Rachel Reeves had just seized the Home Counties and nationalised the Cotswolds.

From one corrupt money grabbing organisation to another.

It's just so easy to trick people - and what happens they get even more angry and disillusioned.

Are they men of the people - looking to help the working class in industrial or costal towns?

Thanks to Sir Paul Nurse this am on #BBCToday regarding visas and this system we now have which is going to weigh on all our futures - with more inflation, poorer productivity and lower growth. Sadly #Labour aren't prepared to listen nor make the argument.

Rising racism blamed for collapse in number of foreign nurses coming to UK Number of overseas nurses and midwives registered between April and September was half that of a year ago

If you're suffering from poor NHS treatment
Blame Reform, Tories, Labour
blame their millionaires backers
peddling racist propaganda
to avoid paying taxes

At last the #BBC #R4Today have a backbone in the form of Emma Barnett and she asked the right questions. So a Jewishe person who has experienced rascism is a liar - and oh we are not anti-semties. Loved the free speech point too!

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

So interesting, this playbook of othering and making people feel insure is so effective. They forget their benefits, jobs and health (NHS) and get swept away with this nonsense. Its all about lowering taxes on the wealthy, Osbourne / Cameron used a crises to do and now Trump/Farage gave the 'other'

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

All these actions show weakness not strength. As we say here in UK "all mouth and no trousers". If this was satire, it wouldn't be funny - it's a tradegy. Tell everyone you're not prepared to fight. Oh I forgot the bone spurs.

Hey #USA #MAGA you have a President that thinks he knows how to do a deal. Says he can sort Ukraine war in 24hrs. Thinks he has the mighty. Yet why has he got a real estate guy going 5 times to Russia? This is the biggest sign of weakness. The so call deal started with everything #Putin wants.

He didn't know who's side he is on. You either want the truth or not?

Yet another #PutridPardon

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

ICYMI: 🚨EXCLUSIVE: When Witkoff, Kushner and Dmitriev met in Miama last month to craft a peace plan in Ukraine, they were also privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line to beat European competitors

November 28, 2025 As Trump’s popularity continues to drop, the MAGA coalition shows signs of cracking, and Trump’s mental acuity slips, there is a frantic feel to the administration, as if Trump’s people are trying to ...

I appreciate that this is from a Telegraph Journalist - but please do read it. The dangers we face from #Trump and #USA are manifest. Actively assisting the Russians for self interest. November 28, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

A highlight of today has been the straight faces and voices of journalists reporting #Trump saying "permanent pause". Is he illiterate?

BTW we have wars and enemies to worry about, but this is what this fool has on his mind.

The type of things that happen when a foolish reality TV actor appoints a petty, drunk talk show chatterbox to run our military:

"Not genuine abuse" says Farage. The Jewish man who he bullied at school said that Farage would taunt him with "the man with the little moustache was right" and Farage would also get his little underlings to hiss like gas was being released when he came near. Sustained, targeted abuse.

ambulance service. I often think about the actions he might take - when he sees patients. To borrow a quote from MLK "one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" - what is the content of the #Farage character. We know.

#BBCWATO #Farage. As someone that went to School through the 1970's/80s and faced frequent racist abuse -mostly but not all verbal. I am reminded of one guy who came into a friendship group and then I was physically and verbally abused. I can't forget - because he is now working in the .../1
