Andy Burnham on BBC QT is head & shoulders above the rest of the panel. Whilst some might term him a career politician, he is competent, meaning they have knowledge, they are experienced and are qualified. It sounds appealing to take a tradesperson off the street but to be a MP is totally naive.

Yet, there will be many so called England fans, draped in the flag, who are racist to the core. They vote for Farage, hate the establishment & want a white Great Britain. They are as thick as shit & will probably get pissed & denigrate our great country. Thankfully they will be in the minority. 2

Just watching Panorama on family budgeting. I feel for people but have we lost something? Kids b/day parties at local hall & play trad games. Days out - park, cycle trip, do your own treasure trail. Presents - make your own. My wife still cherishes a jar of notes from the kids - why I love my Mum!

Energy Security March to date: I have produced 134kW from my 4kW array =c.6kW per day. We’ve topped up our battery overnight at cheap rates to cover our usage. Imagine if we did this for everybody in fuel poverty. Capital outlay is c.£15k. People need help to access the new Warm Homes plan.

On meeting a powerful person--Hitler, Stalin, Gates--ask them 5 questions: “What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?” Tony Benn

Frank, whoever you are, on LBC at 23:20hrs tonight - not only are you a complete idiot but your views & opinions express what is wrong with a minority of society in the UK. You repeat myth & misinformation without having taken the trouble yourself to check out its accuracy.

When Richard Nice & Isabell Neccessary-on-a-bicycle return to the UK, along with 100’s of other tax dodgers, I trust the HMRC is ready to get any tax owed off them. They are too bloody quick to get it off me, so fairs fair.

We don't need to take foreign policy advice from the American President. The last time we did that it was called the Iraq War.

Doom Bar (beer) hasn’t been Cornish for years, so Molson Corrs can xxxx right off with their branding, marketing & false products. Here in Cornwall we pride ourselves on producing great quality food & drink that tastes good. We have no time for big business who are only interested in big bucks.

If you can please further encourage the Reform contingent up in Gorton & Denton to use a pen when voting, not a pencil. They have already raised this & it needs promoting. Pens are not recommended as the ink can smudge on folding the paper resulting in a spoilt ballot paper they don’t need to know!

The Chagos Islands are halfway around the world, almost 6000m from UK. Previously ‘owned’ by France, & then us, with enslaved communities For Reform or any other to claim that they care about the populus or have any interest in the islands is complete poppycock We ceased to be an Empire long ago

When we refer to the Liberal Democrats, we generally shorten it to “LibDems”. So why don’t we do likewise with ReformUK and refer to them as REFUK? It would have the added benefit of succinctly conveying what they stands for! .
