Any concessions agreed as part of Starmer's so-called 'reset' will come at a price.
Surely it would be better to pay more & get much more back in return, not least our EU citizenship?

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits.
Due to our policies, we've done it in 9.
In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

TIL that when the Beatles first came to America there was still someone alive in the US who'd been born into slavery here
The fact that I'm only in my 40s and missed by only a decade or so being alive at the same time as a former American slave further brings home for me just how recent slavery was

Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.
