I’ve been a slaphead for getting on for half my life, and have never felt a moment’s insecurity because of it. Embrace baldness (but wear a hat when the sun ahines) liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/446...
‘It is nothing to be ashamed of’: how baldness became hot
After years of mockery, I found a Reddit channel that encourages men to embrace hair loss as a legitimate and attractive identity

💥 70,000 signatures! 💥
...and the petition closes on June 8th.
Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful.

If this is true, then Labour deserve to be utterly trounced in Gorton & Denton. (By the Greens, obvs).
This is a massive scandal.
Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them.
How can this even be legal?
