Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.
In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

This year, Labour increased the minimum wage for all workers at well above inflation.
But they increased it even MORE for younger workers.
They aim to get the rates the same for all ages.
But Reform want the opposite - to reduce the minimum wage for younger people.
Support Labour. Oppose Reform.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.
Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.
(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Starmer and the UK government are dealing with the world as it is not as they or we would like it to be. For me, a proper appreciation of who is in the White House, his mental fragility and the devastating power he wields are essential to have a chance of getting through the next few years.

I have always loved this clip of Sly and the Family Stone's medley on Ed Sullivan. Simply because Ed's strait laced audience cannot resist the enthusiasm of Sly and the band.
What made Sly Stone good,was not only his enthusiasm, but his energy and always thinking what was best for the greater good.
