Interested in politics and civil society. Often found walking or driving Bernie around. Rarely 'tweet' but I'm very interested in others views and ideas.

"I don't accept the authority of the court, m'lud. The people of Clacton, who haven't heard the evidence, are the only true authority. The fact that I was caught standing over the body, holding the knife and inherited the deceased's money is just establishment talk."

Contrary to Labour MPs saying people ‘hate’ Starmer, I don't hate him and their scape-goating of him misses the point. It is Labour policies and Brexit red lines that are the problem and I see no leadership candidate, indeed no Labour MP addressing that.

Hmmmm we don't need a new PM. We've had loads, theyre all shite. We the current idiot to make clear the future of this country is not ethno nationalism, xenophobia, transphobia and racism. Then should keep going with the green programme, childcare and housing reforms. Leaseholder Act next, perhaps?

What is this 'sectarian' conspiracy that Farage & Co are bleating about after losing the Gorton & Denton byelection? Are they suggesting Christianity equates to democracy? Or that if everyone was Muslim that would equate to democracy? Just a reminder that France is a sectarian country

Kudos to Andrew Marr for pointing out the elephant in the room. There's now a heap of evidence that Epstein was working hand in glove with Putin's regime. And with the Putin-aligned far right in Europe & the UK. He was a lynchpin in this global network of fascist kleptocracy.

You know what, yeah, people have concerns. They're concerned about paying bills, renting or buying a house, buying food, getting an NHS appointment etc. None of that's down to migrants. If you attend a rally organised by Tommy Robinson, don't play the "legitimate concerns" card. You're a racist. 1/

There's very good money in being a right-wing hate monger. We really need to be pointing that out a lot more. It's a path to wealth for quite a few people on both sides of the Atlantic in the age of politainment.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
Hegseth had previously taken aim at Brown. “First of all, you gotta fire, you know, you gotta fire the chairman of Joint Chiefs,” he said flatly in a podcast in November. And in one of his books, he questioned whether Brown got the job because he was Black.

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter,” Hegseth wrote.Caine’s military service includes combat roles in Iraq, special operations postings and positions inside some of the Pentagon’s most classified special access programs. However, it does not include key assignments that were identified in law as prerequisites for the job, with an exemption for the president to waive them if necessary in times of national interest.
