Liz Truss banging on about the welfare state is absolute peak irony. Perhaps start by giving up the taxpayer-funded allowance of up to £115,000 a year available to former Prime Ministers — after serving just 49 days in office. And thanks, too, for the mortgage-rate shock following the mini-budget.

Please consider signing this petition. In a healthy democracy, it is essential that constituencies are represented by Members of Parliament chosen by their electorate and standing transparently under their party’s colours.

A recommended read. #PoliticsontheEdge is sharply observed and impressively written, offering a clear-eyed account of how we arrived at the present moment. Credit to @rory-stewart.bsky.social for combining insight, candour, and restraint in equal measure.

You might think honeybees are thriving – after all, we see hives everywhere. But their wild cousins are vanishing. A scientist explains why unmanaged colonies are now classed as endangered across Europe. ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

We’ve all lost out! The whole nation would be better to have freedom of travel and work in Europe. But, absolutely this is a start. Leaving the EU was a catastrophe, the Government need to be open to calling out those who got us in this mess.

Why has this taken so long? What is Starmer afraid of? We need to forget about the Daily Mail and Telegraph readers and make bold steps. We need to be closer to Europe.

There is no point. - In Liz we don’t Trust. Absolutely, an irrelevance, and the worst PM in recent years, and there is quite a field of them out there. A deluded windbag.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

The gift that keeps on giving! How much longer before the penny drops that Brexit is based on falsehoods? And promoted by charlatans.

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

I’ve honestly no idea why the whole Brexit mess is such a blockage for the new Gov. What are they afraid of? That we would upset the Farage voters? We need to steer a path away from this madness and support the next generation. Brexit was always going to be a disaster. Reality needs to kick in!

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing Musk's proposed $100million donation to Nigel Farage shows we are on the cusp of a real crisis for British democracy But it can be fixed. Here's how, by me democracyforsale.substack.com/p/musks-100m...
democracyforsale.substack.com
Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy
Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences

Since Thatcher handed over a public utility to private owners, creating monopolies in every area, water companies have: - racked up debts of £64bn - paid their shareholders £78bn - paid their managers high salaries - demanded more taxpayers money - poured sh*t into our rivers

Oh. I’ve already blocked Farage, not that I expected a call anytime soon. There is something delicious though of going through a block list.

I think the mainland Europe cities are streets ahead in this field. Although, I hugely appreciate when we dip our toes in, such as outside the Courthauld Gallery and make the space semi-pedestrian with seating, and landscaping. A quite good example of adaption -such as Bond Street would be a start.
