Thanks @brianmchugh.bsky.social for the first review of my new book I will admit it isn't an easy read, but as James Garfield, 20th President of the US, said - "the truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable" bylines.cymru/environment/...

"The system can persist for as long as Mr Putin remains in power. But his every move to preserve and expand it accelerates decay. His instinctive response may be to intensify repression. He may start another war. But these actions would only make things worse" www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

I became an MP because I was fed up with all the scandals in politics. Starmer promised to restore trust in politics but we’ve just seen more of the same - misjudgements, incompetence, and lack of transparency. Starmer must face the scrutiny and prove he has nothing to hide.
