Lib Dems won a vote today on fixing Brexit - by getting Britain back into the EU Customs Union. The vote was extremely close - so if Nigel Farage had bothered to turn up, he could have stopped it. The bad news is that Reform want to destroy our country... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is seventy years today since the publication of the ‘Russell-Einstein Manifesto’, containing the immortal words of those two great humanists on the great potential of human science and the great peril of human conflict - words as true today as then.
There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress and happiness, knowledge and wisdom. Shall we instead choose death because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal as human beings to human beings, remember your humanity and forget the rest. If you can do so the way lies open to a new Paradise. If you cannot there lies before you the risk of universal death.

We're into a second day here in SE23. Thrilled that our water bills are going up. It's our fault Thames Water's board-approved infrastructure plan was deficient.

Just watched The Producers at the Menier Chocolate factory - superb. Many dancing Nazis. A reminder that if there's one thing the darkness hates (more than being ignored), it's being laughed at. And laugh we must.

Silence on Leasehold since the King's Speech. I really hope lobbyists aren't wielding more power than voters for all three main parties, who all had abolishing leasehold in their manifesto... order-order.com/2024/11/18/e...
