James O’Brien will need to exorcise his studio after this mornings stand in. Only a few minutes in and I am yelling at the radio.

So depressing, they’ve not been in charge of the council long, but they have made their agenda very clear.

Another Brexit ‘benefit’ incoming. Talks today between UK and EU regarding EU plans to reduce imports of tariff free steel from countries outside the EU. Story in Guardian. The harm imposed by Brexit is endless.

Reform are having a bloody good go at destroying the UK, and they aren’t even in power. Never felt so concerned about the attitudes being expressed. We are not seeing ‘legitimate concerns’, it’s pure intolerance to anyone and anything people are told is not in the right wing playbook.

We desperately need to change our voting system, FPTP has never been great, but if the vote is split over 5 parties it makes a nonsense of democracy.

Anyone thinking of changing their vote to Reform to ‘give them a go’, needs to do their research. Reform are not a party of government, they will do harm wherever they are elected.

Why do we need to reset the ‘special relationship’ by sending the Royals to creep around an unreliable, unstable, nasty narcissist, who has done more to harm and unsettle the world in his short tenure than any other US president? Time to fully embrace Europe again.

How did the UK so quickly get to a point where a divisive, racist party, run by millionaires, with policies that will potentially harm so many, anti climate, anti diversity and anti Europe, get to be top of the polls?

My energy for defending Labour is diminishing, although I still believe there are many excellent people in the Labour Party , great MPs and good policies - rarely discussed. My energy for fighting the rise of hateful and divisive right wing politics is strong. We can’t let them win.

Is the UK impossible to govern? Hostile press, little cross party agreement on any subject, and people getting outraged at every turn. What’s the answer?

Can we see some solid data/facts on Reform claims re the effects of immigration on services in the UK? Malcolm Offord, Reform Scotland seems to be focusing on immigrants as the main cause of Scotlands problems. Objective data please.

Is it wishful thinking to hope that in the upcoming UK LOCAL elections people might vote for candidates with knowledge of local problems,experience of local government, and have the right motivation to do good for their local community?

I am so utterly despairing of the likelihood that so many people will vote Reform in the May elections, and many seats will be won by them. What has happened to allow a nasty, racist, divisive group of people with only one agenda get such a foothold in society?

Trump’s actions affect the whole world. Security and stability, norms of acceptable behaviour, human rights, energy, food and drug prices. Everyone is affected by Trump.

Is Shabana Mahmood working for another party? Her immigration policies are vile.

So supporting Reform means favouring cuts to overseas aid (ironic), believing benefit claimants are mostly work shy scroungers, intolerance of diversity, ignoring evidence of climate change, thinking Trump is a good role model, and immigration is to blame for everything bad. It leaves me cold.

Can we move on from making immigration the only topic we hear about? Yes, it needs sorting to make a better, fair but humane system. Where are the headline stories on housing, a just benefits system, the economy, infrastructure, education, SEND, the NHS? Please someone get a grip.
