Guardians

It falls to each of us to be those anxious, jealous guardians of our democracy; to embrace the joyous task we’ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours. Because for all our outward differences, we all share the same proud title: Citizen. Ultimately, that’s what our democracy demands. It needs […]

A Single Candle…

… can hold back the darkness. Sooner or later, as the Tories start to sell off the NHS, piece by piece, as it becomes clear Johnson is incapable of negotiating a good Brexit deal, and as the Trump and Putin dominate him, as the poor get poorer, as each promise proves to be a deception, […]

Johnson – Incompetent and Cowardly

Tories have enjoyed the benefits of a media biased towards them, convieniently ignoring how we’ve had nine years of Tory leadership, and in that time, we’ve seen a staggering rise in poverty, a huge rise in food bank use, the cruelty of Universal Credit, the shredding of public services, and an unelected Prime Minister who […]

The Tory Record

Nine years of Tory incompetence has given us. Year 9 of Tory Austerity: 800 more foodbanks than McDonald’s restaurants 4million children living in poverty 35k children homeless by Christmas 130k deaths by austerity +10k disabled people dead after wrongly being declared “fit for work” Who the fuck is voting Tory?

This country cannot cope with another five years […]

‘This is the fight of our lives’

December 12th. It’s going to be a decisive date in the destiny of the United Kingdom. Britain will go to the polls to decide which party will lead the nation into 2020 and, possibly, into Brexit – or maybe, out of Brexit. It’s about so much more than just Brexit though. The Tories, since their […]

Is it Time for an Election?

With the Brexit shambles rumbling on (Boris Johnson, previously determined to ram Brexit down our throats, whatever the consequence, by October 31st, has been forced to ask the EU for an extension of the deadline), the chance of a December General Election is suddenly on the horizon. Whilst Brexit will be at the forefront of […]

Brexit hits D-Day

So we have a deal! Whether it’s a good deal remains to be seen, though personally I maintain the best deal we could hope for is the one we already have, and anything else will be a poor second-best in comparison. However, we don’t actually have a deal yet, for Parliament needs to vote on […]
