I am currently suffering with a brain tumour. Three times recently I’ve need to make minor adjustments to commitments. In all three cases the response was nah, tough luck. It appears that discretion and compassion have disappeared from society. Or maybe I’m learning what it’s like to be disabled.

I often wonder about priorities set by those with responsibility. A neighbour had a tree in next field blow over and is resting and threatening to bring down EDF lines. They’ve asked a tree surgeon to remove it. He says he will try to do it before Christmas! Not even sure which Christmas.

My disgust at most of the world’s media for amplifying the bullshit from convicted felon and rapist without challenge continues. Even France24 should be renamed Trump24 such is their distorted coverage.

My current illness has given me time to consider my relationship with social media My first conclusion is that I want less involvement with US politics now that potty POTUS has aligned the US with the axis of evil. The fact that US people still tolerate a convicted felon, warmonger as their

France is a country rich in great fresh vegetables and fruit. It is heartbreaking to see the damage to the crops by the frequent extreme heatwaves and fires. Anyone who denies a man made climate crisis is an enemy of the human race. #ClimateCrisis

It’s looking like a simple profile update is too much to expect. This doesn’t say much for the future interest in improving communication with the public. Disappointing.

Fraser Nelson - rightwing commentator - praises Mahmood for her tough stance on immigration. Alf Dubs - “conscience of the Labour movement” does not. He considers her policies performative and cruel. So, @andyburnham.bsky.social who do you stand with?

For 10 years since Brexit, successive Prime Ministers have done little more than gaze at their navels saying “Oh dear, what a pity, never mind. A new Prime Minister presents a new opportunity for action. Will it be a great opportunity or will it be wasted?

Nearly every problem faced by the incoming UK Prime Minister will require a large sum of money to resolve it. Two immediate solutions that would generate money: 1 Rejoin EU 2 Wealth tax If they are not proposed then the UK will continue to decline.

Sir Keir Starmer will remain an MP after he steps down as prime minister, so not doing a runner as per Cameron. Al Carns may throw his hat into the ring against Burnham.

I have felt for some time that the UK has become a political lost cause, for three basic reasons 1 Weak, rudderless leaders 2 Right wing media intent on installing Farage 3 the illusion that immigration is a problem
