Retired local politician in Plymouth,former Leader of Council 1991 to 1997,.Freeman of the City 1998 writing memoirs but things are changing so quickly for the worse,I can't keep up.Post 🌺s each day and a simple message.Have a dry sense of humour .
Nor can I they seem to only be reporting what they want us to know and not clear and unbiased balanced information.
Can we please talk frankly about the thousands of people losing their jobs after enduring chaos and stress for months because of Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer’s actions? Because I can’t see a *single* media outlet covering this… 🚨

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

He has eyes that seem to look over each of the viewers ears,and you keep turning round to see what he's looking at.Maybe Starmer just watched him too much and is getting nervous about what maybe behind him too.My mother used to say that about Blair,"He's got funny eyes that one".Thanks Mum.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting tells #BBCBreakfast he is a 'faithful' and dismissed claims from allies of Keir Starmer that he is plotting a leadership challenge against the Prime Minister

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.
Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.
We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.
