Thoughts and ramblings of a former singer songwriter. I’m a Beatles fan. I support Manchester United. I hate bigots of all kinds. I’m a Socialist. If you think Thatcher ruined something statistically you’ve a 99% chance of being right. I follow back.

This seems like a hundred years ago now. A part of my life I enjoyed until I didn’t.

So Belarus have been forced to play their WC qualifiers on neutral ground without spectators, but no sanctions against Israel from UEFA 🤷🏼‍♀️

Americans are getting upset that Qatar is going to build an air force facility in Idaho. Now they know how the rest of us feel having a US Air Force base in our countries.

Also because her many huge and costly mistakes have never been corrected.

Just seen a headline which asks "Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge?"

It's because she was a massive bastard. Hope that helps x

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

There’s a lot of that still going on here now with trump, very little about his full frontal leap into fascism, nothing about the abductions or troops on the street.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

An idea so stupid that only one other country has attempted it.

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years"

The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

I don’t understand the hate people have towards Greta Thunberg…anyone want to explain it to me? I see a passionate advocate shining light on a humanitarian need to help save an entire population of people from being ethnically cleansed and genocided, when others don’t even try. What am I missing?

Personally I think it’s who will represent the wealthy the best. That‘s who gets the most coverage.
