I’m at a large shopping centre and I am a bit shocked at home many school age children are here. Losing count. How sad 😞

I do find this country mad. Anyone can see that social care is in a state of devastating crisis in this country and that it is the key source of the NHS crisis as well. There is no feasible way to solve it without everyone contributing. Burnham is honest about that and is already getting pelters.

I bloody hate Halloween and a big part of that is the sheer amount of plastic tat that has taken over the shops.

Oh, we're still on the "significantly reformed EU" nonsense are we? Like the UK has the power to dictate terms as a returning hero or some such? Same EU as per the last 40 years at least. Be part of it or not. Full stop. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

I can see the far right envelop the UK like an octopus a shell, with sociopaths like Musk as the head using its Tommeh-Tommos-Farage-Lowe tentacles to stress-test the shell for weakness like donations rules to exploit, probe cracks like Piddington to pry open. THOSE are the borders we must defend!

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

I plead with people not to propagate their "it won't make a difference; his supporters love him" gloom. Actually, Farage is on the ropes and he didn't get there by himself. He's there because people continue to believe resistance does make a difference. It's also wrong on the facts. 1/3

Reform's boomer activists are in many ways the epitome of consumerist alienation. They are sad, lonely, embittered people who stay at home all day watching TV and whose children and grandchildren don't want to visit them anymore.

The cult around Farage is hard to fathom. He’s such a knob. The hushed boastfulness of James Orr and Dan Jukes talking about their direct access to ‘Nigel’ was pitiful… Look at them all.. hovering around their peach-trousered shit like he’s royalty, rather than just a grubby, naff little twat.
