Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

@FisherAndrew79 being shouted down by the sabre rattlers stating we don’t need an increase in warfare spending just better coordination with our European partners. Solidarity Andrew, it’s the same shysters who are shouting the most now who’ve been constantly wrong in the past.

Women need to occupy a representative number of seats in the UK Parliament. We need to be part of that power base, arguing the case on behalf of women now and in generations to come. First Past the Post is blocking their way. #IWD2025 #TimeForPR politicsforthemany.co.uk/women-need-a...

Women need a seat at the table, and First Past the Post is blocking their way
It’s International Women’s Day again. A time of year that often leaves me reflecting on why we still need a special day each year to highlight the lack of equality in our society. It is 55 years si...

The Children’s Wellbeing & Schools Bill is the biggest reform to child protection in a decade. The Tories might talk about fixing education & safeguarding, but they had 14 years to do it. It's time for them to stop chasing the populist bandwagon and focus on making change for the better.

This is great news for all working at Sheerness & Ridham Docks. The Labour government is delivering on our promise to improve their pay and security. Lifting standards is good for everyone. We rely on seafarers to keep the country safe and moving, and it's only right we protect them.
