That should be Listed, surely?

It’s an odd one to have left there all these years. There’s more to the right of the pic, and it’s next to some public loos so not exactly hidden

Found some really old (40+ years) national front graffiti in the town centre last night. I’ve never noticed it in all these years, but apparently it doesn’t need to be removed as ‘no one cares anymore’ according to FB

Congrats to everyone on Twitter, still pretending they're not actually frequenting a Nazi bar as the jukebox plays the Horst Wessel Song at a deafening volume.

in the category of ‘obvious implications’ of the Labour landslide, the Human Rights Act and UK participation in the European Court of Human Rights survived 14 years of Tory threats to repeal and leave, now off the table. 😅

I'll say more. Labour takes power in a terrible moment (poor growth, public services in terminal crisis, Brexit effects). Voters may get angry and frustrated soon as things deteriorate. Labour comes to power with only 35% of the vote. The risk of a fascist takeover in the next election seems high.

This new genre of right wing news content is hilarious. Are they expecting the government to nationalise the rich?

I feel so sad for Great Yarmouth. A large immigrant population, social deprivation & terrible healthcare there, not much hope that the new MP will be anything but inflammatory

In Waveney the Greens have run a very tight campaign for last year, lots of door knocking and posters, giving a big impression they’re the only alternative & other parties couldn’t win

Personally, given how much of politics is very constituency focused this is a positive change for my area here, as we’ve been very much underserved locally, to put it mildly

Given the direction of travel of the alternative, I’m relieved rather than elated. It will take time to unravel the evil the tories have committed

Today is for Windrush, disability benefit deaths and Grenfell. It is for food banks, “go home” vans and the rape clause. For PPE contracts, cancer patients and Rwanda flights. Goodbye to the vandals of Britain. How fitting they destroyed themselves in the end

Reform voters in my newly Labour constituency are already on local FB group complaining that they were forced to use pencils at the polling station so Labour could steal their votes 💀💀
