The best way to honour those who fought in world war two would be to rebuild the NHS and the welfare state they voted in huge numbers to bring about

28 October 1914. American medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk was born in New York City. He created the 1st approved polio vaccine in 1955. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.

With a few worthy exceptions the British news media is by far the greatest threat to our democracy. We need mass protests outside the BBC in London.
🚨 Front page news in Brussels 👉Nathan Gill who was Farage’s Reform leader in Wales admitted taking Russian bribes to push Kremlin propaganda. 🇧🇪 Brussels Times has broken down the Gill case in detail: – WhatsApp messages with a pro-Kremlin MP – Paid statements in EU Parliament – Events with Putin’s ally Medvedchuk – Attacks on Ukraine’s president, echoing Moscow’s line Gill was at the heart of Brexit and Reform, but the British press treats his Kremlin ties as an embarrassment to be forgotten. That’s how disinformation thrives by being buried by 🇬🇧 pro Brexit press. brusselstimes.com/1769044/br…

How could you nationalise the English Water companies for free? Easily, simply hit them with the fines they should already pay and don't let them increase their bills. Within 2 years 80% of them will declare bankruptcy Then you takeover for free, as the law already says
I'm calling it now. I reckon #Trump's gonna reroute the #ballroom donations and make the tax payer cover the cost of his vanity project
If #KeirStarmer wants us to have a #DigitalID on a mobile phone, then why isn't it on the Government to provide the phone? Why do they think they can just requisition memory space on phones that we've bought and paid for to put something on them that we don't want?
I recently spoke with someone buying a house with her partner. She told me that she had to pay just to verify who she was. With digital ID that could be done in seconds and wipe out the costs. Digital ID will save you time and money.
A lot of commentators are looking at #Trump's America and likening it to the fall of the Roman Empire. Personally, I think it's more akin to the part where Julias Caesar seized control of the Republic and laid the foundations for dynastic empire.
Sweet Mother of God!
Not sure ‘Reform are good, but not quite good enough because they won’t do an actual Holocaust’, and then quoting Mein Kampf is massively helpful to Reform. I pray this racist moron isn’t a parent.

Poor John Curtice commenting on the Caerphilly result wasn't honest enough to admit the failure of his beloved polling. It's now time to look again at a Code of Conduct for polling free from media & pollster control.
Lol. Now tell us about your relationship with Nathan Gill
At the start of polling day, I thought that we would get 12,000 votes and we did. I thought that number would be enough, but it wasn’t. The total collapse of the Labour vote to Plaid was to a party that people know well and to a popular local politician. The Senedd elections next year are a two-horse race between Reform UK and Plaid Cymru.
The #Reform mob are very touchy this morning. Anything to do with the #CaerphillyByElection

Caerphilly goes to Plaid Cymru

Anyone else suspect that the hostility and cancellation of the meeting is because the answer was, no, they didn't understand the significance of Budapest. #KarolineLeavitt #Trump #Budapest

Remember when the media hounded out Angela Raynor for a stamp duty saga, then completely let Nigel Farage of the hook? I ain't okay with that, are you?

The Reform UK candidate for Caerphilly was the assistant to a Russian Asset, Nathan Gill. Why is this not bigger news?
