I do love roses.
This is my monster roses, bought some 20 years ago at the NEC Garden show, at a clearing out sale at the end.
It has had its ups and downs from Pollen Beatles to getting sprayed with something that nearly killed it.

Left: Zia Yusuf, "I speak to mothers, many single mothers, who are working class, who have had to fight for everything that they have, some horrible stories"

Right: Zia Yusuf, "Absolute poverty does exist in very very small pockets"

14,200,000 Brits in poverty

That's a very big small pocket 🤷‍♂️

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?

Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".

Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.

Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.

If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.

If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."

Why would anyone want that at all?

That includes:
86% of 18-25 year olds! 🇪🇺
60% of retired peole! 🇪🇺
The British public knows what it wants. So why won't Starmer's Labour give it to them ???

That percentage rises to 86% of younger voters, & even older voters are now up to 60%.
Isn't it now time for a major government rethink in order to take account of the 'will of the people' that was so important when the fateful decision was made?

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.

We are so much better than that.
