I have no idea if I'm a liberal or lefty, Trekkie or Trekker, all I know is I'm not on the right. Formerly AlphaRichard on X. Yeah, it was a terrible name, it was meant to be a neutral tag but I didn't realise toxic masculinity would become so prevalent

I'm not a motorist. I'm a person who needs to use a car because the economy sucks and I have to take work where I can.

So, this is about needing to express anger. Not pig wrestling, as colourful as the simile is.

Amazing yet it doesn't surprise me. I'm curious, what's the source for Lowe's X earnings?

If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Millions of UK workers withdrawing from pension schemes to make ends meet Consequence of low wages and high cost of living forcing people into hardship choices - living now v income in retirement. They will have lower private pension in later life and state pension isn't enough even now.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Already pointed out to you that it's all from the same party, same agendas. It's more correct to mention this rather than suggest Labour is split into factions, or rivals.

So, Burnham is seen as a copy of Starmer. Further, both males were chairman of Labour Friends Of Israel, at one time, and both were elected by the party with a huge majority. It's a Labour plan. Through and through.

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.
