Cynical old Cornishman. Rejoin EU! Labour voter but thinking of going Green. Pessimistic. Thinks we will be ruled by Fascists or AI. Hope I am wrong!

Having argued that Angela Rayner had to go when it became clear that she had not sought proper advice over her housing arrangements, I can't help thinking that entrusting the renting of your house in a specific area to people who routinely rent out houses in the specific area is pretty blameless.

Chris Philp is an arse. While He was a minister there were the following mistaken releases of prisoners. April 2021 to March 2022: 54 releases April 2022 to March 2023: 81 releases April 2023 to March 2024: 115 releases This included serious sexual and violent offenders. Pot Kettle

PENSIONER HEATING ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN CUT FOR THE OVER 80s. Last year, my wife and myself got £300 each - this year is £150 each. Not a problem in our case, but 80 year olds on the breadline will miss this money.

The China court case is the new Schleswig Holstein Question. I suspect the only three who understand it couldn't really care less. It's Woodstock for the Westminster Bubble chatterers, though.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I spent my day between an ambulance & the ER, having my heart restarted. This is no big deal, it happens from time to time; but I am always impressed & moved by the dedication of our NHS staff. Just so I'm not too misty-eyed, here's a big f*ck you to those who'd prefer a US-type model (like Farage).

NOT GETTING BREXIT UNDONE IS ONE OF THE STUPIDEST THINGS THIS GOVERNMENT HAS DONE! Now Starmer is bleating that “growth is the way to end division” whilst wearing the Brexit ball and chain. It’s daft, risible and utterly ridiculous. #Labour needs to find a leader who will get Brexit undone!

Farage is a seagull politician: squawks loudly from the sidelines, steals your lunch while you're distracted, then craps all over everything and flies off. He'll never be Prime Minister.

We may speak the same language with the US but we have little else in common. The future of the UK lies with our friends and neighbours in the EU. Anyone who wants a piece of the dystopian action from across the Atlantic is certifiable.

Strangely, many Americans don't seem to understand 3 things: 1. Trump has stopped ALL aid to Ukraine, financial, military & humanitarian. 2. Then US has NO role or leverage in Ukraine. 3. Trump's alleged attempts at peacemaking are empty or even harmful gestures.
