I love foxes puffins and dancing.I want an independent Scotland in the EU a free state for Palestine and a world without destructive 'strongmen'. I like a good argument but I've had enough of Israeli propaganda and will now simply block those who share it.

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?
Odd that.

Delighted to see that woke attacks by the failing fake-news "Daily Telegraph" have not deterred Mr Farage from fielding this great candidate for Mayor of Hampshire!
The excellent Chris Parry called for Lammy to ‘go home’ to the Caribbean, and also referred to female Cabinet ministers as "harpies".

Grotesque! Contrasts starkly with almost quarter of a million donated so far to the Green Party in small donations of £10 and £20 from more than 7,000 people. That is democracy. Starmer refuses to bring political manipulation by millionaires under control because his own party is not immune from it.
Couldn’t really be more starkly apparent that the choice is now Billionaires or Democracy, IMO. We can have one or the other but not both, as this system is currently constituted.

Labour still terrified of Farage instead of facing him head-on.
This is getting stupid now.
We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.
And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.
BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.
