I’m a Granny but I’m still clear thinking enough to vote. I have always veered towards the left. I think that facts, tolerance and kindness are important and stand firm against or simply ignore bullies.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask if you have any contacts who might require design, copywriting, marketing, or other creative solutions for small businesses. Please drop me a PM if you know of people, as I'm trying to find ways to remain a freelancer. I know it's a longshot, but I really appreciate it

Be aware. Huge amounts of money are being spent to try to attack Sir Keir Starmer and to bring him down in order to destabilise the UK and let in the awful Farage. THINK when you see some of the stuff going on. Oh, and DON'T TRUST the BBC. It has been fatally suborned now.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while preventing others from having a say or knowing what he’s going to do next. This, my friends, is called a dictatorship. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-t…

Italy court sends 11 executives at a chemical plant to jail terms of up to 17 years for polluting water, a total of more than 141 years. Puts UK to shame. UK buries corporate crimes - water, Post Office, Grenfell, infected blood, bank frauds. Govts/Regulators serve corporations, not people.

I’ve read several stories in major newspapers about the outrageous attack by Iran on a hospital in Israel. Not one of them mentioned Israel’s missile strikes on hospitals in Gaza. Nothing justifies these attacks by either country. Nothing. But when reporting Israeli outrage, context matters.

Imagine stumbling across a century-old choral work in your dad’s music cupboard —–and deciding to perform it. That’s exactly what’s happening in Woolpit and Horringer in the next few days. 👇🏽

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social and @lbc.co.uk. I really disliked the way you spoke to Aimee Shalan, Director of Makan. You asked her to speak about the Gaza video and you wouldn’t let her answer your original question and even cut her off . I would like to have listened to her!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
