Wife, mother, grandma to 3 girls and a baby boy. Horrified by the consequences of austerity, Brexit and the previous Tory government. Wanting a better country for my grandchildren.
US private equity company. Each of those words is very worrying when connected to NHS or any Health Care service. Nationalisation anyone.
“His publicly-funded protection was later reviewed in July 2025 ….. and he was offered a smaller team. A Reform spokesperson told The i Paper earlier this week that Farage had declined this because he considered it a “downgraded and inadequate package”.” liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/464...
No other country in the world created a VIP lane. Our public services had been deliberately run down, there was no plan in place. Johnson failed in his job, his government ministers, failed. In a moment of crisis many offered help but some thought, ‘How do I make money out of this?’.
No corruption! Seriously. Obviously my mate with a no experience in PPE was just as good a supplier as a firm with experience in the field. Why wasn’t experience of PPE an entry to a fast lane, not connections to the party and MP or government? A PM with a sensible plan would also have been useful.
Reform more reliant on large donations from wealthy individuals than any other party.
I think William Wallace has a pretty good definition of the anti establishment beloved of Farage and co.
Anti WHO, anti regulation of vapes and with links to the nicotine industry. Of course they are.
Why have some politicians and political parties broken away from the science of climate change towards using more fossil fuels? I suspect a list of their donors would be revealing. Do they think their children and grandchildren will be unaffected by extreme weather events, rising sea levels etc?
Brexit 10 years on. Charts reveal how leaving has made the country poorer.
“It’s crazy that resistance today is just about reminding the world of its values.”
Just wondered who appointed Michael Grade. Of course it was Dorres. Who else could it be.
What are the UK gov still using Twitter (X)? Why is any local authority still using X ? bylinetimes.com/2026/06/03/t...
The heron was sitting quietly on the lake side in Osterley Park. National Trust property and a lovely green space in Hounslow.
Labour accuses Farage of trying to avoid scrutiny over £5m personal gift. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
There are quite a few questions that Farage needs to answer, this is only the latest. The electoral commission is ‘considering’ an investigation. If Starmer , Davey or Badenoch had received this gift Farage would be demanding an investigation.
Spreading disinformation should have consequences, for the platforms allowing and promoting it and the people responsible for the bots and paid liars.
Obviously interference by US or Russia doesn’t count as ‘real’ interference.
