Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Burnham knew this would be the result of dropping his pledge to cap political donations, but he did it anyway.
Labour are determined to midwife a Reform government, like plenty of other centrist parties before them whose weakness paved the way for right wing extremists.

For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister has accepted that a referendum should take place when there is majority support for independence, as is the case in Northern Ireland.
I have written to him to discuss how we turn that principle into a legal mechanism.

Are they panicking because small boat crossings are down nearly 50% on the previous year..or is there simply a surplus of cocaine available in England at the moment?

If you have an Irish passport you don't actually need a UK passport.
It is very much the dream passport for entry to, living & working - no time limits, no visa - in any EU/EFTA country...

Thank you @gilltav.bsky.social for reminding us all of the Police response in 2021 👇 when some 40 environmental activists of Insulate Britain blocked the Port of Dover: 39 arrests.
Compare that to yesterday when 200-400 fascist paramilitaries intimidated Dover town and blocked the Port: 0 arrests.
