Retired. Write stuff that a handful of people read. Right but y'all ain't listening.
- We should set about creating a nation where a 27 year old with a good professional job or an establish trade can afford to buy a home on that wage while still affording holidays, cars and nights out.
- This man stole £3m from the taxpayer. Worse he used false allegations to target innocent soldiers. He walks free. Some working class bloke says the wrong thing on Facebook and it is two years. This ain't right.Crooked human rights lawyer Philip Shiner walks free after making false allegations about British soldiers carrying out atrocities in Iraq so he could claim £3 million in legal aid courtnewsuk.co.uk/?p=457111
- For the first time in my life I am angry, upset and fearful about something my country has done. This is a truly terrible reward for evil that I can never excuse.Beneath the emblem of the United Nations, I confirmed the historic decision of the British government to recognise the State of Palestine.

Replying to @MPSWestminsterPlease remember there are no outdoor screens showing the #EURO2024 final in central London. Many of the pubs are already full. If you were thinking of travelling in perhaps consider other options and remember to plan your journey home. - Replying to @JDVanceRandom Countries that fought alongside the USA in Afghanistan...
- This is a nice house. And not a small one. But my earnestly held belief is that a house like this should be affordable to buy on the salary of a middle manager. Which is what it was in 1935.This ordinary suburban London 3 bed house in Zone 4 metroland was built in the 1930s for ordinary middle class families. Today it costs almost a million pounds and you’d need to be in the top 0.5% of earners to be able to buy it on a mortgage
- Replying to @samofsamshire and @christiancalgieThe classic 30s hooded porch design is lovely too.
- Replying to @PippaCrerarKilling babies is not a reproductive right.
- The chip on this woman's shoulder makes her entirely unsuited to the job she holds. Her policy is driven by envy and spite.Our state schools need teachers more than private schools need embossed stationery. Our children need mental health support more than private schools need new pools. Our students need careers advice more than private schools need AstroTurf pitches. inews.co.uk/news/private-s…
- Replying to @MayorOfWY @c40cities and @TracyBrabinHow is swanning off to Rio helping West Yorkshire? We didn't elect a mayor to spend thousands jetting to conferences in expensive holiday resorts, we elected a mayor to fix our transport, improve skills and make our towns and cities better.
- Is was only a matter of time before Led by Donkeys joined all their trendy pals with some of that good old, down home Jew-hate. Dreadful people. And, yes, antisemitism is now an entirely acceptable form of racism for the urban middle classes.
- They are shouting at a shop. Just because it was founded 140 years ago by a Jew. A refugee from oppression and pogrom in the Russian empire. This is what antisemitism looks like. This is not about Palestine, it is about JewsBerlin 1933. The brownshirts held their rally then marched to a Jewish owned shop to make the staff & their customers feel unsafe. Glasgow 2023. The anti semites held their rally then marched to a Jewish owned shop to make the staff & their customers feel unsafe. #ScotlandsShame
