Well they appointed a new supreme leader in Iran and what can I say other than told you so 🤷‍♀️

She is wrong. I’m late diagnosed & not because “mild” or “masking”. First intervention in school age 6, first psychologist aged 10, placed in a EBD school aged 12, psychiatric unit age 13. She needs to recognise they misdiagnosed girls like me. you can be sure as hell we always existed. #Autistic

Listen to @barackobama.bsky.social talking at Jesse Jackson’s Memorial. Now that’s a leader.

I’m not a fan of Starmer but all this ridiculous on and on about not having HMS dragoon ready & in the area. The fact these ships need refitting is the direct result of years and years of under funding. Just get real about it. I’m sick of hearing about this bloody ship.

I’m honestly puzzled what you’re asking. My comment was about current public sentiment on the Iran situation and that many people think the UK should stay out of it. I’m not sure what comparing Starmer to Blair or Wilson adds to that point.

On a side note people often don’t realise how much Attlee did during the war. 🤷‍♀️

Badenoch going on that we should be doing more and getting involved in the current war with Iran…. Read the room Kemi most people agree we need to stay out of it. Had enough of being a puppet on a string to the USA.

I know, I look at some people who praise this stuff as if it’s some difficult and amazing accomplishment. How can they not see how this makes situations worse. When are govs going to learn from the past. 🤦‍♀️

Killing a dictator is easy but not considering the vacuum effect that could see them replaced with something worse is naive and short sighted in my view. #IranWar

Oh for goodness sack why cant they not take it as a warning and own what’s happening. This dismissive attitude towards the electorate is only making the situation worse.

Reasonably informed off a friend that 6 F-15s just took off from Lakenheath.

Absolutely. At the minute it’s just sitting & watching as not much else we can do. Some areas that have reform run councils are seeing the mess their making & them back peddling on no CT raises etc etc. the gorton by-election did give me a sense of relief as the idea of reform in gov is horrendous.

I was raised in the military so understand the importance of NATO. However, I think a lot needs to change I’m not sure any party right now is what’s really needed. We need major investment in infrastructure, social housing etc etc and not just handing money to private sec. Rebuild public sec.

Honestly I’m not a green voter but I have been watching Zack and he has a way of cutting through the noise. Most people are tired of inequality or working hard and not having any money spare at all. I would go as far as saying even many reformers, although their misguided on who’s to blame for it

Good for you, glad you’re doing so well. Shame that all you can do is pick holes at a word and only look at your own perspective. If you want an argument find someone else. I spend enough time supporting people that are not “stress free” as you put it to know the impact for them.

Held onto mine mainly because if there is a leadership election I want my vote.

always voted Lab & even stood as a candidate. Tell me are we the party of the working class, are we the party that ends inequality or are we the party that cuts grannies fuel allowance, cuts disabled people’s support, fails to meet SEND children’s needs etc. On who’s back are we balancing the books.

Congratulations. I would like to say I’m surprised but as someone who takes notes and listens a lot to what’s being said I’m not. If things carry on the way they are could be greens in at next GE.

Greens taking Gorton, love to say I’m surprised but I’m not.

Social care but frankly that’s as bad as the fight over EHCP and most don’t get the support they need at all. The whole thing is a bloody mess.

Labour’s Send revolution is a high-stakes experiment. It also threatens precious parental rights | John Harris Bridget Phillipson’s 10-year plan is generous in places, but it has its problems. Not least that it could be trashed by a Reform government, says Guardian columnist John Harris

And here it is: the SEND reform plan, and why - for all its good intentions - it threatens a terrifying loss of rights, just when the worst imaginable govt might be newly in power www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m not surprised, I’m not a green but Zack has a way with words and cutting through the noise. It’s interesting to see. Starmer is doing himself and the party no good playing populist politics. People voted for change not the same old story. This rate next GE will be greens or reform.

Populist political gesturing.

Book unusual suspect by Paul Flynn. Inscription says congratulations Lisa. Sock it to them in Rossendale.

Been a little overwhelmed so cleaned out my office. Found a book I was sent from a former MP Paul Flynn. Made me smile.

Am I wrong to get picky about wording. Watching Newsnight and Peter literally said it’s devastating for Andrew. Seriously 😡 oh poor him (sarcasm) #Epsteinfiles
