Keen unmotivated cyclist and semi retired bike mechanic, that wants to help make a more honest and responsible world. Damn lefty and Green Party member. Hates moopoo 💩 and lies, (still awaiting ND assessment, over 3 years so far) tends to put foot in it
It's somewhat telling when parties keep saying the others are more shit than us instead of how good their party is...🤔
Do you think there's any chance that Starmer might one day tell us what we can do instead of laying out all the reasons why something good isn't possible?
Starmer says he’s "taking the gloves off" and that the Greens are "nuts"

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.
That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.
Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.
All because UK govts oppose public ownership

@thetrawl.bsky.social While I'm having a good moan I'd like to point out that less than 20% went to "Uni" from my decent Comprehensive school, the best most of us could do was an apprenticeship. By the way I would love to subscribe but hey damp, draughty social housing doesn't pay for itself!

@thetrawl.bsky.social For the first time ladies you have disappointed me by joining the boomer bashing bandwagon. I'm approaching retirement and looking forward to £220 pw which by the way is much more than I got working 10 hour days self employed. How far would that go in the deprived south? 🤨

@thetrawl.bsky.social Jemma what do you mean "a bed in a care home could cost a grand a week"? My mum is currently paying £1300 pw and she hates it, that is one of the cheapest around here in Derbyshire. God only know what it costs in Londonland, where have you been? 🤔 👩❤️👩

Nobody ever mentions that Labour got their huge majority not because people wanted them - rather that we didn't want the Conservatives! I don't think Kier Starmer ever grasped that
