Leftie tech entrepreneur. UK should try democracy (PR) and have a reset. Pro human rights and fairness.

Just because it's reached the 100,000 threshold, doesn't mean anything will happen.

So keep signing and sharing, because we need to show MPs that there's a huge demand.

If grandpa was shown pictures of a lion, a rhino and a camel, and later boasted he had named "a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe", would you worry?

Yesterday, the Conservative candidate got 2% of the votes in an election for a national parliament (Welsh Senedd). This is down from 17.3% at the previous election.
Are they toast, or is there a way back?

Do we have a date?

Seems as the Conservative Party start their conference today that they are standing on the edge of a precipice.
Hopefully, their leader will take them a step forward.

Mandelson, hmm.
He had insulted Donald Trump but needed his approval to become ambassador to the USA. Surprised that Trump agreed after a simple apology - that's not Trump's MO.
The Epstein link explains why it was OK, BUT Starmer must have known to have pushed the appointment.

Wow.
He [the policeman] went on to say that the phrase “Free Gaza” was “supportive of Palestine Action”, adding it was an offence “to express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation,... is an offence under section 12(1A) of the Terrorism Act”.

Today, I thought of the 'dinner party game'. Who my 5 guests would be and what menu.
The guests: Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Benjamin Netanyahu, Nigel Farage and Vladimir Putin.
It would be good to get a fuller understanding of who they are and what makes them tick.
The menu, Beef Wellington.

I've just read that Sting thinks Brexit was an act of folly. I think that's it. Job done. We are on our way back into the EU now.

WTF?
C4News, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer, unusually, chose to take only one broadcaster, GB News"

What word would you use to describe a PM who only takes GB News on a trip to another country?

At this rate, the UK will remain a two-party system with some peripheral parties.
It is just that the two parties going head to head in the next general election will be Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats.

Worth sharing in America as it sums up the massive tariff failure, which some might not realise.
Trump tried to force everyone to buy American.

Result: No one is buying American.
