Having joined Settle U3A Art Appreciation last year, I gave a talk on Tuesday in the beautiful Quaker Meeting House on Ireland's favourite painting Hellelil & Hildebrand the meeting on the Turret Stairs 1864 by F W Burton, it's based on a medieval Danish Ballad.

This is the second time in two weeks a government minister has wilfully misrepresented the Labour in Labour Party as meaning a commitment to work itself instead of the interests of workers. Tedious.

This is NOT a left right issue

MY RESIGNATION FROM THE LABOUR PARTY Having spent 35 years in the Labour Party yesterday’s disgusting attack on the sick and disabled was the last straw - this is my letter to Keir Starmer 👇

I'm proud to launch the Aegis the Union Neurodiversity Campaign, one that is vital for all workplaces across the country and also one, personal to me as my son with #Autism looks to enter the working world. Please share 📷 #neurodiversity Trades Union Congress christine pratley Yorkshire Bylines

A new book shows the group’s close links to Labour Together, which hoodwinked the party membership into voting for Starmer on fake left promises. SOLOMON HUGHES attempts to get some answers about what ‘Blue Labour’ actually stands for morningstaronline.co.uk/article/who-ar…

🚨 BREAKING: Young PIP claimants challenge Wes Streeting for backing cruel disability cuts. We’ve been denied care, stuck on waiting lists & left to fight for survival in a rigged system. #StopTheCuts - this is life or death. We won’t let them get away with it ⬇️ #GuardianLive

Why are we taxing working people more than billionaires?

Watched an excellent film from the 80's last night, that I had never heard of before, The Ploughman's Lunch by Ian McEwan directed by Richard Eyre starring Jonathan Pryce, links Suez, Falklands & selfishness of Thatchers Britain.

So, despite all we've learned, despite the Perry family's pain, despite the clear ethical contradiction, Keir Starmer has chosen to nod through Amanda Spielman's peerage. The same Amanda Spielman whose leadership at Ofsted corroded trust and dehumanised educators...

Two of the strongest predictors of suicide? Financial precarity—and being made to feel like a failure. Labour’s #DisabilityBenefits cuts risk both. This isn’t reform. It’s reckless harm. #WelfareNotWorkfare

“Why aren’t you wearing a suit?”.

So. In Canada: The governing Party changed its unpopular leader! Refused to bend the knee to Trump! Rallied the country behind a call for econ change! And Came from 20 points behind to win the election!! Makes you think!!!

What a cover. First 100 days.

Labour leadership saying the party will go further and faster in the same direction. They don’t seem to understand that, it is our current direction that is the problem

It's not a Nigerian care worker, a Filipino nurse or a Polish builder making your life a misery. It's the politician who tells you to point the finger elsewhere while they have their foot on your neck.

Can you imagine this man making the speech Keir Starmer made today ? Can you imagine him cutting winter fuel allowance for pensioners? Can you imagine him keeping the two child cap? Can you imagine him shafting the WASPI women?
