Ordinary bloke
@mikebaggallay.bsky.social
Liberal leaning, inquisitive and full of questions
Note to PM-just listened to another speech full of self-pity, waffle & excuses. You are currently a dead Party walking & the only way to avoid oblivion at the election is to tell the truth.
Confront the damage Brexit has done & offer the real solution-rejoin EU customs union plus return deal=HOPE!

Labour-I’m shocked about the Russian spy ship using lasers to blind RAF pilots. MOD should have authorised a shot across their bows!

I’m giving up on BBC’s Question Time as I cannot stand the bias-where are the LibDems or Greens? I’m fed up with the Reform apparatchiks and the Beeb love in for them, sickening!
Time for Proportional Representation please?

Memo to Steve Reed - new towns are a great idea but not good to build on ground that regularly floods in Tempsford! Instead there are several million brownfield sites available- make developers use these instead. Also use old office buildings and unoccupied homes.

Good grief Labour, please get a grip! The public are sick of resets, internal politics etc. and just want some positive news on cost of living, NHS, education etc. the things that matter.
Stop promoting Reform and Mr F and, remind people that prior to Brexit there were no “boats”! Give us some hope.

… also, by creating safe and legal routes plus a returns agreement you can resolve the situation. Spending too much time in hospitals with family health issues, I’m grateful for immigration that helps and contributes to the UK.
September 5, 2025 at 9:32 AM
Wake up Labour-every day you should be reminding the public that prior to Brexit there was NO irregular immigration and, Farage, Johnson et al have created the current situation. Get a grip!

Note to Speaker - why do you not penalise any MO’s who miss the start of Parliament ( not mentioning any names)?
September 4, 2025 at 2:38 PM
Here is the evidence-wake up media!
Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in many of the UK’s problems - it’s time UK news shows and Labour started pointing that out

What’s happened to honest journalism? Why is Farage & Tories not challenged on the fact that Brexit caused the huge rise of people coming to the UK via lorries & boats? Without a returns agreement this was inevitable! Labour needs a good Marketing team to push back, like LibDems are doing.

After reading the latest Byeline Times I’m convinced that Labour needs to instigate a Levesen 2 enquiry to counter the lies, hate and bias from the right wing media and political parties. Shocking to read that Americans believe that England is a lawless place they are afraid to visit! Truth needed!

Note to Rachel Reeves - forget endless reviews on Council Tax as the simplest assessment is based on space, the square footage of a house. Our semi in SW London is the only one in the row not to have extended up and out. The Council has the plans and sq footage so charge them accordingly, simples!
August 19, 2025 at 10:40 AM
Also by creating safe and legal routes via embassies, British Council offices and online , Labour can do a deal with the EU that anyone arriving without this gets returned!
August 13, 2025 at 9:26 AM
Labour- please remind people that Johnson and Frost were offered a returns agreement with the EU during the Brexit disaster. Essentially there would be “no boats” if their stupidity had not prevented this!
August 13, 2025 at 9:13 AM
Given the US tariffs on the UK, are we charging the US for the cost of Trump’s and Vance’s visits, which has cost £ thousands in Police overtime ?
August 9, 2025 at 9:53 AM
NOTE to Labour- why did the Government and NHS England create the less qualified Doctors Assistant role instead of using the 2,000 fully qualified doctors who cannot find a job? Change the rules and fund community services like GP’s as this is what the public wants and needs.
July 25, 2025 at 10:25 AM
NOTE to Labour 27- there would be no need to “stop the boats” as Johnson and Frost were offered a returns agreement by the EU and, they refused! Maybe time to re-visit this option?
June 14, 2025 at 5:03 PM
NOTE to Labour 26 - please confirm what the US contribution to the Chagos Island military base is, as all we hear is how vital it is for UK interests?
June 14, 2025 at 5:00 PM
NOTE to Labour 25-I see the US is punishing Harvard so, why not invite them to set up in the UK? By the same measure many US scientists want to leave so let’s invite them here with generous research grants, like France. Time for “change” eh?
May 23, 2025 at 10:09 AM
Note to Angela Rayner- there are several hundred empty houses in Perry Barr that could be used to house the homeless in Birmingham City Council area. All they need is cash from you and it helps your 1.5m “new homes” target! What could be easier? Also it saves the Council spending huge sums of cash.
April 28, 2025 at 11:21 AM
NOTE to Labour- please create visas for international students now that the US is kicking them out and the same for scientists.
April 13, 2025 at 10:03 AM
NOTE to Labour- great idea, how about it Angela Rayner if you want all those houses built? Ditto for US scientists PM, time for change!
We’ve got a lot to build in this country, and we need a lot more builders.

So we’ll cover training costs and make it easier to work anywhere in Canada.

It’s going to be a great time to be in the skilled trades.
April 5, 2025 at 5:37 PM
NOTE to Labour 24- congratulations to the Irishman, who has turned Starmer and Reeves into the future leaders of the new ConForm party, that takes the UK down a right wing direction in the future.
It just beggars belief!
April 1, 2025 at 11:52 AM
NOTE to Labour 23-when circumstances change, policies change. If there are any intelligent advisors out there, please tell the PM we are fed up with Tory lite and use wealth tax, prof Richard murphy and patriotic millionaires proposals to raise £80+ million to really CHANGE the UK. Or you lose!
