To my new followers many thanks, I value every one of you - I will follow you back ASAP (the nice ones that is).
Let's sort the UK out & make it a much fairer place for everybody - not just the wealthy.

En ce 11 novembre, souvenons-nous des millions d'humains ainsi que des millions d'animaux (chiens, chevaux, pigeons, mules et autres) qui ont perdu la vie lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. 🕊️
We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.
A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.
“I love football, Stan. I love it.”
We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.
Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.
Trump, who initially appeared unfazed by the results of the Tuesday night midterms, has become angrier as he’s watched coverage of the historic losses, we're told. That sour mood has spread throughout the West Wing, which has become increasingly factionalized in recent days. https://t.co/DBoS09C2RZ
Donald Trump just promoted one of the most vile thugs to ever slither into the Oval Office.
This is an insult to every American who voted for change on Tuesday.
Stephen Miller cooked up the sadistic mass deportation regime that ripped apart families and trampled basic civil rights. Innocent people are dead because of him.
Voters rejected his cruelty and extremism. This is sick.
@SueHussey3 In French supermarkets they sell 1Litre soup pack which are absolutely delicious and great value for money - I just wish they would do something similar here.
The Prime Minister is set to announce new trade deals with the European Union worth billions of pounds, as part of plans to forge a closer relationship between Britain and Europe.
Andy Burnham will meet top European leaders Antonio Costa and Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels later this month when the deals are expected to be announced, including a major agricultural agreement and a youth visa scheme.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia:
“You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people.
No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”
@anneapplebaum As an outsider from the UK I can see many of the issues facing US democracy replicated on a much smaller scale over here. Money must never control the democratic process & corruption, including some forms of lobbying, is a disease.
Good Luck ☘️
Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
Trump just now, in his first post in three hours, writes: "I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
We cannot just turn the damn page on Donald Trump’s corruption.
We must expose the grift, hold those responsible accountable, and make sure it NEVER happens again.
@DPJHodges I would sooner see more uniformity & less emphasis on what people earn. Why should a care worker be treated differently to a prison officer? they both do difficult essential jobs.
Provided people contribute & do no pose a security risk then the UK should welcome them.
