Truss has a radical vison - but will she deliver? - 1828 - Championing Freedom

Clive. Walk away from Labour, who aren’t Labour any more. Join the Greens, who seem to be Labour, and fights off Reform, who are Tories.
Just at home…
Making protest illegal (let’s face it that’s basically what’s happening)
Digital IDs
Punitive taxation for the poor.

Get out man.

Is it your intention to keep money made in this country (working folk wages) and then paid in this country to corporations (food/goods/housing) IN this country. Make our wealth truly circular, enriching our own society, not for shareholders etc who hide their profits outside of our borders?

What an appalling comment from the morally-bankrupt Johnson.

The greater likelihood is that he has been killed because high power rifles with telescopic sights are fairly easily available in that country, as are the shooting practice environments.

Have you got that ‘Last Man on Earth’ vibe yet Scott? (Said in a good way - survivor style)

On her hit list for suspended visas, sits Nepal. The Gurkhas in our own British Army number 4000. Not to mention others who are in the Navy and RAF. We show our loyalty to them by threatening to rescind theirs and their families rights to stay. This makes me very uneasy. I’m hoping it’s a mistake.

Good grief

Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social · Sep 8

Aaaand they’ve just covered it up.

Which is just another layer of irony…

…given that this is state action against protest about state action against protest.

I think this is also me now. Today’s news being media gossip regarding Labour even considering softening of ECHR Article 8, will be the death knell.
