I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

Have a look at the petition - it's only got 4,127 signatures so far, but come on people of Wales, (& elsewhere), this just can't be right!

Donald Trump could be given the honour of addressing the UK parliament. We can't let him spout his idiocy and hate in the heart of our democracy. MPs are pushing back - now it’s our turn. Sign the petition to stop this national embarrassment: 38d.gs/yfl7
Block Trump from addressing Parliament
I've just signed 38 Degrees' petition calling on Trump to be banned from addressing the UK Parliament during his state visit later this year. Will you join me and add your name too?

I'm going to say this AGAIN because IT IS what is going to happen.

Donald Trump will stand for a 3rd term, legally the appeals will force it to the Supreme Court.

They will refuse to remove him.

He doesn't need to change anything.

This is why you don't privatise essential services.

On Wednesday you paid 100x the cost for Gas used.

Why?

Because they can.

In 2018 we left the EU's Water Regulation body and their massive fines.

Then sewage dumping increased 20x.

Before Brexit we had some of the cleanest water in Europe.

Now it is by far the dirtiest.

A total shitshow.
But no…
Let’s not talk about it
Let’s not face up to how the Tories ballsed up an already idiotic idea
Let’s not fix the ruinous consequences of turning prejudice and ignorance into policy
Let’s just slide into a perma-state of resentful crappiness and ‘move on’.

Britain is paying the highest taxes ever, but has the worst Public Services because all of them have been privatised and most of your money is being stolen as profit.

Very well put by Chris Packham- why do hunts have men on quad bikes with terriers if they’re just following trails? 🤔

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.

We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

Since 1980 over $20tn of Oil and Gas has been removed from the UK.

And I say removed because you got sweet FA.

This is because Margaret Thatcher sold it to her mates so the profits could go the billionaires and not to you

We should be richer than Norway, instead we are in debt

Spot on. And Norway's socialist approach has also created plenty of wealth for private companies. The difference is the private companies don't get ALL the wealth, they get a fair share.

This is really encouraging news, especially in this particular region - dominated by grouse moors & a well-deserved reputation as a raptor persecution hotspot.
