Since 2010 Conservative cuts to public services have decimated society. NHS. Social services. Education. Police. Courts. Welfare for the disabled and poor. The list is long and damning. No more thank you.

Aid growth.
Is there an edit feature (bloomin autocorrect)?

Martyn @martynslater.bsky.social · 3d

Now here's a fair policy to address the imbalance in society and raise funds to support those most in need and fund programmes to air growth

What a great plan to attract voters. Leave a convention which protects many of people's rights and gives more power to the government. Take a look over the Atlantic sea to the US to see where that can lead.

Ryder Cup: Why Europe should beat United States at Bethpage on Sunday

Europe's 6-2 demolition job of the US to take an 11½-4½ lead into the singles has seemingly made Sunday a formality.

Ryder cup?

Well I couldn't have been more wrong. I will be bringing in Haaland. Bye bye Salah.

Martyn @martynslater.bsky.social · 14d

Isn't Haaland doubtful with an inury? Lot of cash for no reward although I guess you're pjaying the long game. Too risky for me.

No idea? He's a liar. He knows it's bs.

There is no link it is complete nonsense with no scientific foundation. The BBC should do their job and name this very clear.
It's ok to use Tylenol since this is the name for paracetamol in the US although the BBC should explain this.

Martyn @martynslater.bsky.social · 18d

This suggests I'm missing something really important. When of course I'm not.

Unfortunately these ladies were woefully underprepared and hadn't studied this case in any detail. Just arrived ready to spouse their biases. Such a shame.

Did somebody say piss up and brewery?

Martyn @martynslater.bsky.social · 20d

You have incorrectly written this.
It should read 'Free speech is under attack in the US'
Same words now in the correct order.
Please refer to Eric Morecombe.

Couldn't work put if the last sentence was a statement of fact, sarcasm or a wild hope.

If society is to advance and not regress, truth is vital and there should be laws regarding politicians lying with real consequences, such as suspensions or removal from office.

It's sad and telling that Eurovision will do the right thing regarding Israel and genocide yet the British government dies what exactly?

You've seen the tweet Newsagents. It's a fact not an accusation. Is there any doubt? Do you think it's fake?
