They’ve killed any joy I might have felt today. I can’t be happy over the voting in of a party whose leadership gleefully throws vulnerable people on the bonfire. They’re scum

The number of people prepared to vote for an essentially fascist party is very disturbing

I am a cis woman who has been sharing loos with trans women for decades - never bothered me. Never felt threatened It’s only some men who have at times made me feel threatened. And they’ve never put a frock on to do that. Starmer is utterly without principle or ethics. A transphobic 💩

Bad resourcing?! You mean when Labour central office diverted resources from marginals with left Labour candidates towards safe Labour seats? That wasn’t bad resourcing It was sabotage Just as in 2017

Yes in a hopeless seat in a close election perhaps But to remove a black candidate from a seat where a racist, fascist Farage is fighting, where Labour need to put up a strong opposing campaign even if their chances of winning are slim - I just cannot see how that is justifiable

Surely it’s unprecedented in an election in which the polls predict you will win comfortably to ban one of your own prospective MPs from canvassing in his own constituency Bizarre imv What’s your explanation?

The politicians tend to drop the E pretty sharpish because the maths is too hard and just do the P&P. It’s not the degree. It’s the people.

Anywhere where every 2nd person is choosing either a racist far-right Tory (that’s all that’s left now) or a racist far-right Reform candidate, after the last 14 years of ghastly is not going to be a place I could feel remotely comfortable in. And to me so much racism and xenophobia is vile

Amada García Rodriguez (1911 – 1938) was a Galician Communist activist. She lived in the Galician village of Mugardos. She was arrested while pregnant, and after she gave birth she was shot along with seven other people at St Philip's Castle by Francoist military forces during the Spanish Civil War.

UK elections = having to listen to commentators (inc #BBC) repeatedly mispronounce Cymru as Coooomree in “Plaid Cymru”🤬
They take great trouble to get Spanish, Russian, Turkish, you name it, correct.
But can’t be arsed with this. And it’s easy.
‘Come’ + ‘ree’ (as tree), emphasis on 1st syllable

Buying up one intensive agro-factory & building a wood or whatever, whilst leaving a myriad other agro-factories is OK. Gets a nice wood But it doesn’t really address the fundamental problem: we need food; but we need to produce it sustainably. Actions like this do nothing to forward that agenda

Exactly Some people do “struggle”budgeting, and sometimes that is because they have difficulties But having mild ID is just one such. Often it’s poor mental health, domestic abuse, addiction all linked to the stresses of poverty. In which case budgeting tips won’t help anyway

Thank you. It is an excellent article otherwise. It is not his fault. It’s unconscious bias - an English norm to be massively ethnocentric where the rest of the U.K. is concerned (See Westminster for confirmation) So if no one has ever pointed this out to you, you won’t be aware.

Who said they were fcs? I was merely pointing out many pregnant women gulped down a teratogenic drug in their drink in the era when it did. No idea why you feel the need to be so weirdly preachy. Whilst consistently misunderstanding what you read Please go away.

#YouAndyYours on #Radio4 perpetuating the myth that poverty is a result of poor budgeting.
Whereas most people in poverty are experts in managing budgets because they have had to be.
The problem is low pay, lousy welfare provision, and regressive taxation

Officially perhaps But you are already having debates between Trump & Biden. So it’s started really! It gets so much coverage here in the U.K. it’s absurd. I know it’s important for the world given Trump is so nuclear happy. But we can do nothing. So all the news does is fill me with dread

I’m already sick of that one! Why so little in our MSM about France’s election? It’s terrifying, & just next week France today is where we will be in 5 yrs if we don’t implement a radical program of redistribution & public service investment Starmer should learn from Macron’s mistakes, if he’s wise

Consider HIV. The public perception of it has moved past reagan gigglingly calling it "gay cancer" to something that largely is innocuous. This is interesting for many reasons, one of which is that HIV has absolutely not become milder.
