Our beautiful boy Rafa crossed the rainbow bridge 2 days ago. To say we are devastated is an understatement. The price you pay for loving something so much is this uncontrollable pain when they leave😢
I'll always be Rafas Dad though, and it's the thing I'm most proud of in my life 💔

"Farage's policies aren't about creating a 'Better Britain', they are about pulling things down: It's easy to be in opposition, you just get to destroy things!"
So, why does Keir Starmer keep agreeing with Nigel Farage on illegal immigration?

Keep seeing the Trump-Vance attack on #Zelenski on TV.
Just realised it's being played out right in front of the bust of Winston Churchil. You can see him there keeping an eye on proceedings
Irony is lost on them isn't it?

According to recent polling 85% of Labour voters favour #RejoinEU. The leadership is stubbornly ignoring them and refusing to drop their absurd red lines. If you agree we should be closer to our nearest trading partner sign/share the petition. #Brexit petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I've just resigned my @teamlabouruk.bsky.social membership. Fed up with a gutless approach to right-wing rhetoric, an incoherent EU strategy and a failure to support those that need it the most.
Mcsweeney is poison.
So disappointed 😞
