John Smith, who nearly made me consider voting Labour way back then, will be fair birling in his resting spot.

When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name: 38d.gs/72vc?utm_cam...

This is not the Labour Party that grew out of the Trades Union Movement, this is the Lab Party infiltrated by the soft Tory leftists who are now showing their true colours. The Lab Party of old died many many years ago.
I have been calling it the Red Tory Party since the 1990s and will never stop

I’m absolutely staggered Starmer has involved himself in this. He will know from his CPS days the police have operational independence. They have assessed these fans as a very high risk to public order and should not attend. Their nationality is irrelevant.

I’ve been pointing out these kind of facts for many years, Israel is full of European and American Jews etc, but Israel is not and has never been in Europe.

We’re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more.

Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

Right on, I lived right through the Thatcher years and I still hate the Thatcher Witch with a vengeance.
The problems we live with today were actually started by her and her Tory Party.
