Amazed and happy that so many young people are excited about the new party and that they seem to be joining in large numbers.The future looks secure but do make the same mistakes happen again with centralised control freaks.

Let's keep this growing well.I'm overwhelmed how many young people are signing up for the new party. With the hope of a Socialist approach to our problems everywhere there's hope and a future yet.

I thought it seemed familiar used to take the children to that area for a ramble and a meeting up at Shaugh Prior cheap day out but that was 60 years ago.It reminds me of Bluebell Woods at Manadon also under threat used to walk up to Bladder Meadow from St Boniface's College on Wednesday afternoons

Thank you it did seem familiar but from 60 years back I wasn't sure.I seem to recall it as somewhere you could ramble through,bit like Bluebell Woods at Manadon in Plymouth also now under threat.

Good morning everyone on a dull Friday morning in Plymouth,but brightening later.Have a good day and enjoy the rain drop dahlia for hope and peace everywhere.Holidaying MPs don't have to worry about press coverage,time to leak bad news quietly and clear any misbehaviour.Good life that?

Having difficulty replying to anyone here as suddenly blue-sky is asking for age verification for their new partner operator,who doesn't seem to get that I'm 82 and had no problems up to now.Such is progress.

Dept for Work and Pensions (DWP) finally releases excerpts of secret reports, show its errors contributed to the deaths of universal credit claimants.

Serious repeated failings by DWP staff

Govt taking powers to snoop on benefit claimants' bank accounts, remove money.

What will errors do?
