Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

The UK flag flew at the European Parliament for 47 years

Brexit brought it down on 31st Jan 2020

The US under Trump, the US siding with Russia instead of the UK and Europe, the world has changed

The sooner the UK flag is raised up again at the European Parliament, the better

Poor Vincent, in his lifetime, sold only one painting for 400 francs or $80 dollars today. This is what stimulated my interest in buying works of art from living artists. I want them to know while they are alive that I enjoy their paintings hanging on my walls.”

A fantastic review of LIFE AFTER CARS Via @newrepublic.com

"The authors marshal a compelling blend of history, statistics, and anecdote in support of a quietly radical argument: that mass car ownership, far from natural and inevitable, is a historical blip that can and should be reversed."
The Surprisingly Convincing Case Against Cars
Life After Cars dares to imagine how different, and enriching, a car-free world could be.

UBI and free education from preschool through college with free child care for workers is what an advanced wealthy society like the USA could do if it just taxed its high income earners which wouldn’t change their life style at all.

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

The UK Labour Govt is doing more to damage Welsh Labour’s chances in May 2026 than any other party. This stuff just reeks of contempt as the original sin of HS2’s ‘England and Wales’ classification as an ‘England and Wales’ project is being repeated despite Labour’s opposition when in opposition!
