Forty-year veteran of British leftwing politics. Not the opinions of any publication for which I write.
- 'Vote Labour, we're a slightly less evil version of Reform UK' is not going to do it for me next time round
- I'm taken aback by the sheer volume of erstwhile Starmer supporters now deserting their man. His stock hasn't been this low since the Hartlepool by-election defeat.
- Britain is running out of jail cells because it is locking up tens of thousands of people with drink and drug problems, mental health issues and low educational attainment. Try tackling these issues instead of building more prisons.
- The strangers on this island are the people who stash their millions in offshore trust funds. Not our black and Asian friends.
- If you live in Dubai to avoid paying UK income tax, you're an economic migrant. Tell me I'm wrong.
- The problem with social care is private equity fat cats ripping old people off for £8000 a month. Not minimum wage immigrant workers. Tell me I'm wrong.
- If Labour wants to reverse its dismal polling, it should reinstate winter fuel allowance. Not ramp up the immigrant bashing.
- When politicians say they are 'championing the interests of the working class' by restricting immigration, ask where they stand on employment rights and the minimum wage
- If NHS spending is 'maxxed out', maybe the government should stop funnelling money to private providers? Just a thought.
- I'm so old, I remember when 'British jobs for British workers' was a National Front slogan
