I'm a left leaning retired #Remoaner supporter of PR. I used to enjoy visiting National Trust, Historic Houses, and golf. I now spend much of my time trying to get fit after the death of my lovely wife. @UKLabour member.

For the northern hemisphere today marks the Autumn Equinox, also know as Mabon. Day and night are of equal length, the last of the harvest is being gathered in, nature is turning, revealing vibrant colours before branches become bare.

Clement Attlee founded the NHS, built record numbers of council houses, nationalised Housing, Power, Rail, Energy, Steel, Fossil Fuel and employed more than 2m people in 5 years all with the greatest debt the UK had ever had. And the economy boomed and debt fell.

Nazis used the word "socialism" to subvert its traditional working-class meaning, defining it instead as racial & national service. That's fascism. Socialists define it as wealth redistribution, private property abolition & international working-class solidarity. We need socialism, not fascism.

Donald Trump just said something I said. Data centres should be responsible for their own power - they should not be allowed to just connect to the grid we have. It makes perfect sense, these mega projects in all senses and their design and build should include their own power needs - and water.

Morning all. So Farage empties the UK of all immigrants & LGBTQs, then takes the human rights away from anyone that's left. What then?

This is why the govt decided to proscribe Palestine Action. If you continue to support their activities then you risk arrest. Peaceful protest re the situation in Gaza is not affected by this ruling.

Dear non-millionaires, Kemi and Laura don’t think that you work hard enough, that’s why you’re not rich. Kemi and Laura think that millionaires and rich people work much harder than you and deserve free childcare. Stop moaning about being poor, just work harder! #BBCLauraK

The 3 panellists on #bbclaurak were Penny Mordaunt (Tory), Poppy Coburn (Torygraph) and Geordie Greig (dubbed 'The Notting Hill Tory). And of course Kuenssberg herself giving Kemi Badenoch an easy ride. The BBC aren't even pretending to be balanced any more.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
