“the creation of a rolling series of imaginary crises, a constantly updated fictitious enemy representing the global elite and internal minorities. It was about a storyline of grievance and victimhood, a constant attempt to pitch citizen against citizen” sound familiar? ..

Clearly none of them are white, and have just stepped off a small boat in order to terrorise us ..

Um no shit Sherlock ..

Just been told by Chat GPT that Elon Musk no longer runs it - progress?

“Reform’s plan, aped of course by the Conservatives, seems to be to become a US satellite, recognise the Russian sphere, and abandon the European vision” Can’t wait 🤦‍♀️

Brilliant news, onwards and upwards!

Sums it up nicely

If you think this couldn’t happen in the UK think again. We’ve already had part of our local bus route cancelled because of “too much congestion” on the roads. Some numpties clearly believing that forcing people into cars would improve things!

The Isle of Wight leading from the front ..

IF these figures are correct then 1 in 5 new homes are keeping the NHS off its knees. Unfortunately the remaining 4 in 5 new builds are going to the wealthy as 2nd homes or buy to lets (at eye watering rents).

The main thing you can do is encourage modal shift away from private cars. Far less people are killed or injured on buses, trams and trains

Who agrees that Nigel Farage's face should go on the new nine-bob note?

Not necessarily a bad initiative, just the usual Labour clusterfuck on communications - presumably cheaper than legal fees to deport & possibility that repatriation will be refused; but I had to research possible reasons on Google! GET THE RIGHT MESSAGE OUT!!

So .. Farage thinks Trump is going to take time out from waging the third world war to talk to him about the Chagos Islands .. really??

“Once upon a time, not so long ago, the right-wing press would act like Britain’s acceptance of European regulation was an affront to sovereignty. But that apparently does not apply to the issues raised here - of British military involvement, of international law & of geopolitical rationality”

Can’t begin to imagine how we’re going to deal with tax - exile “refugees” attempting to return to the UK from Dubai. “send them back where they came from” springs to mind

Yet another Labour government about to be absolutely destroyed by worshipping the boot laces of a US President intent on an illegal war. Have they learned nothing from history?

“What was it about Matt having said that anyone who was black or brown wasn’t properly British that had upset the 40% of the constituency who were black or brown? Surely some people just need to learn to accept they are second-class citizens” (& vote Reform!)

Hard to see how she fits into Reform

Well done to Island Roads, however Brading is well served by both buses & trains. Let’s get a better balance between mass transport and private (often single person) cars and heavy lorries. We could save money needed for mending the roads and reduce accidents. Not to mention help save the planet!

Let’s do it, what are we waiting for !

They all need to move to “Somewhere Else”, the place in the UK where everyone supports building homes. I think it’s in Heart-fordshire and there’s plenty of affordable housing ❤️

Presumably he’s planning compulsory health insurance but realises that paying out on top of Tax and NI might be a tadge unpopular so he won’t say it!

They’re galloping over the hill to save us 👏🏻

What an absolute disgrace, no words 😶

Absolutely this ..

Immigrants don’t colonise countries; armies do, just as the Uk did in the past and Russia is currently doing in Ukraine. The concept that people recruited to key worker jobs in this country along with a few refugees are “colonising” the UK is absurd

What absolute scum, no one with any shred of any integrity left should ever vote Reform. They’ve been shamed for who they truly are

🚨Gorton and Denton by-election Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support. We are so much better than that. DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM youtu.be/cWWf1mZhlGk?...

Agreed, & with so many defections my other fear is that Tories & Reform will merge, becoming an unstoppable CONFORM party or if Fartage can’t bear to come second they could choose RECON. Catchy huh? 🤔

A well considered review of @garethdennis.uk ‘s book

Can’t understand why the reaction to those who speak out for refugees is “you take them into your home then”. If they think people should be “sent back”, are they going to supply the dinghy and personally give it a push off back across the channel?

Come on guys, we can get around that dam Brexit!

Excellent! I’m really loving the videos of this. It’s only a comparatively small part of the overall picture though, we need proper full-on electrification across the network @garethdennis.uk

A brief video of the class 230 Battery train 🔋🚈 leaving West Ealing

The Shipley Glen Tramway which runs from Baildon to Saltaire in W. Yorks which is Britain's oldest working cable tramway opened in 1895 needs to raise £89,000 for repair bill. 👇 BBC News - Historic Shipley Glen Tramway faces £89,000 repair bill - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Am I the only one who goes on to the NYT puzzles in the morning and reads the top category as “cos play”

"it's my way or the highway wait where are you going?"

“Reform is not a party so much as a grievance generator with a bank account. It exists to turn resentment into revenue, paranoia into platform, and reaction into identity. . It exists to shout, to sneer, and to promise impossible restorations of a past that never actually existed”

So we’re going to get two Tory parties; the party of the dreadful past or the party of the even worse future. Both made up of the incompetent numpties from the last government, that increased immigration. What a choice for right wing voters!

Jenrick and Braverman. The bin juice of the Tory party.

Just want to point out Richard Nixon got impeached for bugging a hotel room. Donald Trump is literally sending his private army out to murder US citizens.

Seriously - don’t go

For anyone who’s been following this sorry saga for the past decade or so, sounds like some good news at last!

A crying shame then that we don’t invest more in buses & trains - much safer than cars; not to mention kinder to the environment & accessible to those who can’t afford a car or don’t drive due to age or disability. Alexander having done nothing to reverse the previous government’s appalling record

Just seen a poor darling motorist complaining on fb that they should be allowed to park on the pavement on one side of the road, leaving the pavement on the other side for pedestrians. Like we should be grateful 🤬

Seems to me this article confirms what housing experts have been saying for a while. Even if the current situation eases slightly, we still need state intervention, particularly for first time buyers. More & more young people are having to live with parents or erode their savings on private rent

This is really good news for our young people, well done to all involved!
