Jacob Rees Mogg’s condescending delivery of everything he says truly is nauseating. He is an appalling piece of work. Those voters in North East Somerset must take a long, hard look at themselves.

Yes, indeed, it is a shameful day for

I don’t remember this response from the usual centrists when the right-wing media was hounding the twice elected leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn… 🤔🤔🤔
It’s my 53rd birthday today, and contrary to what’s expected, with each passing year the more left-wing I become! 😆 Stay safe and well you and your families and keep believing in our just humanitarian causes and what we know deep in our hearts is the right way to live our lives.
The usual guff on Sky Sports News talking about ‘how great Manchester City are’ while failing, yet again, to address the elephant in the room. I can’t wait for it all to come crashing down at this soulless, corrupt and thoroughly repugnant football club.

He knows the score about the horrendous energy bills coming our way, and his passion about this is infectious to hear.

What a horrible club Manchester City has become under their abhorrent owners. If they don’t like the Premier League rules, they should just f*ck right off to another division. In fact, I’m hoping that’s what will happen anyway when the 115 charges stick.

So us on the left have finally been vindicated what we have said for years - there was a conspiracy within the centre and right of the Labour Party itself to destroy Jeremy Corbyn. And with help from client journalists and a string of lies, they helped win their ultimate goal.
We have an actual racist as our PM right now. And yet the flak is directed at a man who has fought against racism and battled for human rights everywhere for all of his life. We really are through the looking glass, people.

Very sad news about the passing of David Soul. ‘Starsky & Hutch’ was one of the best TV series of its type. And he was a pretty decent singer too in his own right. ‘Don’t Give Up On Us’ and ‘Silver Lady’ remain classics.

You are just intent on destroying the Left of the Party - and especially anyone who professes to support the rights of the downtrodden people of Palestine. This is something that certain people scandalously and unforgivingly conflate as antisemitism.
