The reality of what various parties are proposing is degrowth with a poorer country and an aging population. That is not sustainable

The UK and other countries soon to be facing this problem need to be attracting immigrants not vilifying them

People can mock, dismiss, or roll their eyes at Pam Bondi’s staggering disdain for the office she holds and her utterunprofessionalism, but it’s alarming. She acts untouchable, as if MAGA will rule forever, and that mindset assumes accountability is dead, which is how democracies fail. #hubris

Statement:


As you know, from my media contributions, I've never been one to shy
away from a free and fair debate,


However, I have serious concerns about the impartiality of the hustings
that have been organised for tonight.


Previous statements by the organising group give the clear impression
that a fair and level platform will not be provided for all candidates, so on
that basis I will not be attending.


I look forward to future opportunities to discuss the issues that matter
most to those in the local area and answer questions from local
residents in a genuinely neutral setting - including at the forthcoming
Manchester Evening News hustings and the BBC's by-election debate on
Monday.


I cannot wait for these debates.


Tonight, I shall be canvassing local people as I have been doing three
times a day every day since this campaign began.


I am very much looking forward to the forthcoming debates!


Vote Reform, Get Starmer Out.

A large stuffed folder of files with the title β€œEpstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

A friend is a civil engineer who worked for British Rail. Once he was sheltering in a tunnel alcove from an approaching train. Sadly, it coincided with a passenger flushing the toilet and covering him with shit.

NEW - Statement from the Tribune group of soft left MPs backing Starmer to remain as PM.

But a subtle call for a cabinet reshuffle, saying change will require "a Cabinet and front bench that reflect the breadth of views across the PLP... and the diverse traditions that make up our movement."

2) Even though Starmer is considered a decent lawyer, he was willing to appoint Mandelson to curry favour with Trump, in turn outing himself as indecent.

Starmer made 2 big mistakes and has to go.
1) He was willing to placate Trump instead of standing up to him as Carney did which would have bought him public support.
