Mandelson has nowhere to hide! 🧌 The traitor who was repatriated. His past forgotten/hidden for political expediency. 🧌 Now there is great hand ringing, as the Epstein files brings to light what ‘everyone knew.’ 🧌 Thank you @zarahsultana.bsky.social

Does @davidlammy.bsky.social recognise what is likely to happen if he allows a hunger striker to die.

Is right and wrong determined by social values/morals, or power? Maybe it was always thus but right now in Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela and more parochially in UK courts, Netanyahu, Trump, Putin and the like, use raw power as the arbitrator of justice. There has to be a better way.

I went to Cambridge’s council chamber to watch the Cabinet Meeting. Much of the meeting was about £92 million being spent on the civic centre. Particular emphasis was on how the council chamber was at the heart of Cambridge’s democracy. 🤕 I tried to ask a question, I was refused. 😕 Some democracy!

We need to be honest, left leaning people are struggling. Our original party has abandoned its roots, and us, and we need a voice. 😑 But there is a new hope. Your Party has captured hearts and minds. 🙂

The slaughter of innocents in Gaza continues! 🧌 We could stop this! 🧌 At least politicians could. 🧌 I argue that we all have a responsibility to do our bit. 🧌 Could you write to your MP, asking them to intervene in our government’s policy? 🧌 Silence isn’t neutral!

There is this word ‘Parrhesia.’ 🧌 It’s very apt when applied to politics. It involves a duty to be transparent, tell the whole truth, not hide anything and not remaining silent 🧌 To me it ranks alongside the expression ‘What you don’t condemn you condone.’ 🧌 It’s about putting your principles first.

Fantastic speech Baiju. It was wonderful that you approached head on the question that has been raised by @keirstarmer.bsky.social about migration.

@keirstarmer.bsky.social further to my earlier message. To make Cambridge the powerhouse you want, maybe you can keep the successful city council that manages what it is today?

@keirstarmer.bsky.social could this be worth a look? 👀 Cambridge needs the space to breath if it going to be successful. Having a Tory Mayor imposed by electors with little link to Cambridge is like having a foot on our chest.

The USA may have elected Trump, but not the rest of the world. 🧌 If the Trump continues on this path, then the USA will suffer as we move away and plot a course where we stop the special relationship.

I am a radical. 🧌 Proud to represent Red Romsey. 🧌 Elected on a socialist platform., 🧌 I am the sort of person who picks up the ball and runs with it. By: • Fighting4Cambridge. • Promoting equality • Reducing pollution and congestion. • Making cycling and walking safer. •Challenging cuts.

I am a radical. I listen to all the voices in Romsey. Then I support the majority view. 🧌 By knocking on all the doors, Romsey’s view on Mill Rd is clear. 🧌 Being a radical doesn’t make me an anarchist, or a dictator. It makes me a person who grabs the ball and runs with it.

Is it time to end the special relationship with USA? 🧌 If our defence relies on Trump the unreliable. The man who can turn off our weapons and intelligence. Maybe we should walk away? 🧌 History tells us that you do not appease dictators like Putin (and Trump). 🧌 We need to take care! 🧌

The arrival of Trump, indicates a major fault with democracy. Like Hitler, Trump has legitimate power. 🧌 But Trump doesn’t have democratic power over the world or the UK. 🧌 If wealth and military might give Trump the right to impose World leadership. How legitimate is that? 🧌

🏥 Labour are delivering on healthcare! 🏥    The New Hospital Programme review has green-lit a RAAC scheme at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, replacing unsafe concrete and modernising facilities. A win for patients across the region, including in our constituency.
A quote from Sam:

“I am thrilled that we finally have a tangible plan. This is a momentous day for our region, bringing clarity and hope where there was once only delay and disappointment.

Our residents deserve healthcare facilities that meet modern standards, and this announcement is a big step in making that a reality.

It is thanks to this Labour Government that we now have a timetable for delivery, so patients finally get the care they deserve."
