Happily retired to North Wales. Love sea swimming, crafts, family time, food. Have left the old place due to it basically being a swamp. Hope to find some of my old T friends on here instead.

Sorry @teamlabouruk.bsky.social , Starmer cannot keep defending Mandleson. He clearly has to go. The delay will be poisonous for this government. Not only that, but if he doesn't act, presumably Mandleson will be prominent at the state visit next week, with the Paedophile President. Disgusting.

🚨 In the UK, MPs can stand without being registered to vote or living near the people they represent.
That’s not democracy, it’s a loophole, a loophole we can fix.

Currently, a candidate for MP is not required to be registered to vote or be resident in the UK. We ask the Government to require candidates for MP be registered to vote and residents of the UK.

This is 100% bob on. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social would do well to heed.
Labour had 14 years to plan real welfare reform.
Instead, we got cuts dressed as compassion, a rebellion from 108 MPs, and a policy that makes life harder for the people it claims to help.
Here’s what they got wrong - and what real reform could have looked like.

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride:
