Wow. Timpson at prisons is huge, a prison system that treats prisoners like people and tries to rehabilitate them would be a massive step forward. I hope he gets the resources he needs to make meaningful changes. Wow.

A Labour government should lead to a closer, friendlier relationship with the EU. Labour have been trying to make friends in France, for example.

Well yes, itβs early days. If the right wing is now split between the tories and reform, thatβs no bad thing. If, on the other hand, itβs the start of real momentum behind reform, that will be a bad thing. Weβll see.

Hurm, landslide for Labour, but the tories still the opposition and 13 reform MPs. Funny how things have changed over the last couple of years, in that Iβm slightly disappointed by that. Anyway, letβs see how accurate that is.

Tories poisoning election. No such thing as super-majority in UK. A majority is a majority, like they've had for 14 years. We won't know who's won till after election, so vote. Don't assume Labour will get in. You're important. Your vote matters. RT please #Elections2024

At this point, it is 100% undeniable that the Supreme Court majority is attempting to destroy democracy and seize total power over the US. They're not even trying to hide it. Since the media refuses to clearly convey this fact to the public, tell everyone you know.
