"When I was quite a little boy
I used to savour them with joy;
And now my daughter, aged three,
Can tell the tale of Sam McGee;
While Tom, my son, that’s only two,
Has heard the yarn of Dan McGrew ....
Don’t think your stuff I’m not applaudin’ —
My taste is Eliot and Auden.”

Labour are focused on our young people 👏👏👏

Trusted, independent Resolution Foundation put into an easy to understand chart why Labour are despised by the Media and their bosses. It’s time to stop listening to them.

With everything that has come out over the last few days, it’s surely time for British civil society and media to condemn as Farage an anti-Semite

We saw, rightly, the lens turned on the Labour Party. I hope, probably in vein, that equal scrutiny and criticism will now be turned on Farage
Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs? Read Chloe Deakin's letter on Farage's fascism and racism at school.

If you want to find out what the Labour Government in the UK are ACTUALLY doing, then you need to be following them on social media.

My lists are updated (but still not complete).

They cover Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Youtube and I'm even starting with Tiktok!

The arguments for the foundation of the NHS were as much about eliminating ‘money worries’ about medical bills as about improving health. Needs to be kept in mind when evaluating health care systems.
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

Watching his famous Battle with the Militant Left speech, Neil Kinnock becomes emotional, remembering his wife Glenys, who passed in 2023.
