Too Weaks?

It's surely about maintaining power and cancelling any elections. It's the Putin playbook.

Unfamiliar this side of the pond with Mom's For Liberty until I watched this last night. It shows how influence is bought by a small minority and links the far-right, MAGA, Christian fanatics and conspiracy theorists

Storyville - The Librarians

A Storyville documentary that explores how librarians across the US are risking their safety to defend free speech as book bans and censorship threaten democracy from within.

Have you banged your head? Are you in trauma?

All she did was offer to cancel everything this government is doing. She had no policies.

No apology, but a list of how the Tories broke Britain over the past 14 years whilst claiming victory for setting up policing in 1829!

Watch. Learn.

Ever thought how the far right have taken over politics. It is deep rooted, financed by a dangerous few, pulls Christian fanatics, conspiracists, MAGA together. It starts in the school library!

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Honest Bob, a racist and a liar. 'I'm defending the judiciary' he says... but only the ones he wants. He is politicising this to create hate and division. The man is the worst kind of politician.

Honest Bob Jenrick lower than a snakes belly. Racist. Liar.

When challenged reacts like a 2 bit Trump!

We are living in a country where politicians think saying these things is ok because it wins votes! It doesn't. It plays to the minority on X. The racist haters. This is not my UK.

The Labour manifesto promised 6500 more teachers across schools in England.

The latest data shows the progress towards that has so far been 2300 additional teachers.

To help further, a new package of funding is announced today with a focus on areas traditionally ignored such as FE and...

Pupils to benefit from more specialist teachers in classrooms

Aspiring teachers can get up to £31,000 tax free through bursaries and scholarships, as the government boosts efforts to attract more great teachers.

Jenrick is becoming deranged and dangerous.This type of action is set only to make some people angry at the judges, when we all know it's the politicians! He sets to weaken the institutions for his own benefit, and it is disgusting.

On reports that Reform’s DOGE unit in Kent has found no savings and is set to hike council tax, Lib Dem Daisy Cooper MP:

"Reform's pledge to slash millions...has turned out to be nothing but smoke & mirrors

"Like his idol Elon Musk, Zia Yusuf has spectacularly failed to deliver what DOGE promised"

They have no self awareness. Have not understood anything about why they were kicked out at last election. Instead, they have been taken over by idiots and have tacked further right.

I give it 6 months before we see a Torie/ Reform merger.
