Jack of no trade, master of even less.
Don't follow me, I'm also lost.

Grandad, dad, husband, pro Europe, pragmatic left, Bowie. Procrastinator.

Currently, elections are won on 20% of the electorate. Unless people decide that voting is worth doing we are going to end up with a racist PM voted in by a minority of racists.
À solution would be for countries to stop seeing each other as competitors but as partners commited to humanity's survival.
John Major, "One aspect of reducing immigration would be to make it more palatable for migrants to remain in their own countries"

"That is why the policy of cutting aid and investment to poor countries is a very poor sighted policy"

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social , if you live in Manchester, why would you stay in a hotel in Manchester? If you do it's because you can afford it so pay the tax.

I wish patriotic millionaires would get together and buy Daily Telegraph. No left leaning media apart from Guardian. Badly needed.

Farage: "A Norway style deal with the EU wouldn't be so bad."

After the Referendum: "We voted for a Hard Brexit!"

Farage: "We need a French style system to fund the NHS."

If Reform get elected: "You have voted for personal responsibility, so we will deliver an American style health system"...

We all want a country that works.
Police, judicial, health service, education, welfare, beautiful smooth roads etc... But no one wants to pay for it.
And there is the dilemma presented to the chancelor.
