A lifelong Labour supporter and member. I am fascinated by American politics, latterly driven by a fear of Trumpian politics ingressing into the UK via the likes of Farage! And...I love English literature and I love animals!

Since Elon Musk seems to hate this documentary about him from one of my favorite non-fiction filmmakers, Alex Gibney, figured it was my duty to spread a link to the trailer so you can see it for yourself. ENJOY: loom.ly/oA2_-p8

Just remember this when these louts try and suggest that it is people arriving in small boats that are the criminal problem. In fact the louts ARE the criminals, disturbing our peace and harming our charities and volunteers. That used to be considered a seriously aggravating feature for sentence

Today I became a member of the RNLI I have always given money to them when prompted because of the extraordinary voluntary work they do saving lives But today thanks to the shocking behaviour of the Far-Right and the recent comments from Nigel Farage I chose to show them what an actual patriot is!

Reform see both practical impact of taking £72 million from two men *and* comms impact of doing it in one hit to send a message about this support from two billionaires as a net gain, that obvs outweighs concern about reputational impact on the party of both v large legal donations + illegal ones

Is the UK government actually going to allow this? A convicted crypto-millionaire money-launderer, pardoned by Trump, is donating huge amounts of money to the Reform Party, which is under investigation for accepting undeclared money from a crypto-millionaire? Are we doomed to become USA mk 2?

I've just heard Nick Ferrari, LBC, say (I paraphrase) do you really want to give funds to a migrant taxi service? He refers of course to the RNLI bringing migrants safely to the shore. The most amazing volunteers of whom we are incredibly proud. How dare he undermine this non-politocal organisation

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.
