Reform's difficulties have been accompanied by a sharp deterioration in Nigel Farage's personal ratings. More in Common recorded Farage on a net approval rating of minus 27 in the same polling period.

If Andy Burnham is so determined that he won’t be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, let’s have a referendum, let the people in Scotland decide, and see who is right.

Russia is a terrorist state. International politics will never be rational until diplomatic relations are severed with the falsely-named Russian Federation. Treat the Muscovy terrorist formation exactly the same as Daesh (the falsely-named Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).

Because there is yet again another article blaming e-bikes for cars killing people, I am once again asking why, as we are facing a climate emergency and the highest gas prices ever, every newspaper in the country has decided to whip people up in a frenzy against bikes.

Ex-WV police chief violently attacked a woman over an expired registration. Though innocent, she spent five days in jail before the charge was dismissed. He resigned and was decertified.

Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency

The UK has always had a right-wing media. But they are now a hysterical, disinformation spreading cartel. Weaponised by Brexit lies, Corbyn smears, defending Boris Johnson, spreading racism & trying to delegitimise the very idea of a Labour Govt. Another rotten vested interest needing reform.

In high school, my teachers taught us to investigate source material. Where information came from, who was telling it, who they were telling it to. Not all information is created equal. Anyway, it took me a while to realize that level of analysis, fundamental in my life, is not widely taught.
