People shouldn’t be turned into criminals just because they can’t have a digital ID, or choose not to.
We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans for a mandatory Digital ID.

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles.
Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

Complained again to the BBC over its bias for Reform UK. He's on their news almost every single time, but heard nothing on his hypocritical stamp duty tax dodging 🧐
Hopefully more than a weak, flawed, limited copy & paste response this time...

This is fucking insane. The BBC is adjusting output to “win back” Reform voters while ex-Tory spin doctor, Gibb, sits on its board.
That’s not public service or impartiality - it’s interference.

I've had enough of the BBC's blatant and repeated bias, disproportionately promoting a party with just 5 MPs.
What can we do about it? Do what Brits do best: complain. The more complaints they receive, the more likely they are to do something about it.

It's abhorrent to save from amongst our most vulnerable whilst inequality continues to rise.

Donald Trump will, no doubt, spend the coming months and years undoing Biden's reforms.
Just like previously, Biden reversed the changes made by Trump, who in turn dismantled Obama's legacy.
That's what FPTP leads to: not stability but a chaotic cycle of policy lurches.

Since Labour slashed Exeter's street cleansing budget, regular sweeper teams are restricted to the centre.
This leaves many areas of our city neglected; fuelling build-up of litter, creating a hazard for wildlife, wheels, paws & people.
