I am interested in politics and world affairs. I am left leaning. I love nature, writing poetry and songs. I enjoy reading books and have piles of them I have read and piles to read. John Boyne my favourite author but love reading all sorts of books.

#USpolitics Looks like Trump sucked Infantino (FiFA) into his murky world of money and influence. He has destroyed Infantino's reputation and sucked him into believing power and money = untouchable. Now Infantino is on the downward spiral Trump will drop him like a hot potato. Trump destroys lives.

Why has Zia Yusuf not been allowed to stand for Reform? I wander? Could it be that he isn't white? How is this man aligning himself with a racist organisation? Reform are clutching at straws with their new Navy policy. It won't work and it is illegal so what was all the hubris about?? #Ukpolitics

There was no Cueta Migration it was a staged event and the MOST important thing is to find out who was behind this. If it was Trump or Netanyahu or Musk or a number of far right activists. 88 people lost their lives so they are responsible for manslaughter at the very least. #Cueta

There is no chance Nigel Farage will ever be Prime Minister so this whole ridiculous Navy shambles will never happen. We also need the Royal Navy for our defence and given the Navy is not in the best state this plan is ludicrous!! But what do we expect from the man who is fighting with a bin!

I thought our Navy had been pared back to the minimum so how does Farage intend to use them to stop small boats! Surely given situation in Russia the Navy need to be preparing for war don't they? Ah of course Farage is a Putin patsy so is looking to diminish our defences. Stupid idea! #ukpolitics

Chris Philp is a moron isn't he?He sits there saying he spoke to a fisherman who said the waves have been big which is why the small boat crossings are down! If it was true he should have got stats from the coastguard! Boat crossings are DOWN by 43% so Reform and Tories are talking crap. #UKpolitics

#ukpolitics The immigration figures are down this year by 43% but we have Reform wanting to use our overstretched Navy to solve a problem that is being solved!! Reform want to create division and hatred so they will be trying this week to achieve that. Watch out for disinformation being spread.

Interesting ORGANISED scenes of 60000 people coming into Cueta with many losing their lives happened just before Farage has started an anti immigration week! Somebody organised Cueta migration 'event' and hopefully they will find out who because they are responsible for > 72 deaths. #ukpolitics

The ridiculous thing about Reform policy on immigration is that immigration is coming down! Legal migration has been reduced more than 1/2 and illegal migration is significantly down so far this year. We don't need to use overstretched Royal Navy who should be getting ready for war! #ukpolitics

So interesting with media and newspapers. From the outset they went for Starmer. He could do nothing right (he of course made some significant unforced errors which didn't help!). But Burnham is different - why? Because he is leading the conversation and agenda and public are listening. #ukpolitics

I wouldn't put it past Trump + his cronies (including Musk) to have set up migrant crisis in Spain. People were told by 'somebody' that a Spanish Courts would allow them to stay in Spain if they went across in certain timescale. It feeds into Trump + Musk's dialogue against Europe. Very suspicious.

#ukpolitics You can see Reform try to regain the narrative and failing hugely. Jenrick is talking about an extreme death tax when a decision hasn't been made at all on how Social care will be funded! That is what the review is for!When Jenrick replaces Farage as leader of Reform - watch Reform tank.

@andyburnham.bsky.social National Care service should include palliative care? Surely care in older age must be linked to hospice care? Both keep people out of hospital. If you take palliative care out of NHS it will be given the focus that is needed to ensure people have dignity in their last days

@andyburnham.bsky.social So pleased you are PM - Social care is fundemental for all of us in society. Could you use a new voluntary tax on income + private pensions? Most people in 40s,50s and 60s would pay because they have experience of parents, grandparents in care. Do a poll on who would pay it?

Compare Burnham to Farage + Badenoch and you realise the right have a huge problem.They have contributed hugely in Keir Starmer's downfall. They will regret that now as his replacement is genuine in wanting to tackle big problems everybody else has run away from. The public are listening #ukpolitics

#bbcpolitics What a surprise that Sam Coates made the speech today about him. The headlines should be about social care big conversation not about assisted Dying. The public want to sort out Social Care so let them contribute to the conversation without media trying to influence what they think!

#ukpolitics Andy Burnham saying fixing Social Care will be his legacy is what we want from our PM. He isn't going to allow the media or the detractors to stop him tackling a problem that has been too difficult for others. Social Care fixing will help fixing the NHS and ALL of us will benefit.

Media need to stop asking the question where will the money come from for Social Care until the review is complete next year. We all need to contribute our thoughts on what social care should be and how it should be funded. The public will then decide how it will be funded. Let Burnham do his job.

Social care is a stain on our country + the biggest, most important domestic issue that needs fixing not only to help NHS but also to ensure elderly people have dignity in their last years of life.Andy Burnham is going to fix this so PLEASE media allow the review to finish then ask your questions.

#trevorphillips #ukpolitics If Andy Burnham is going to tackle Social Care and make it better in this country I will be supporting him all the way to the next election. The way we treat our elderly people in this country is a disgrace. We need to improve the care and also the treatment of carers.

#trevorphillips #ukpolitics Reform are saying women shouldn't go to prison?? Do they realise the misogyny of this and the stupidity of this? There are women that have done heinous crimes (ie Myra Hindley, Rose West). It isn't a male/female issue it is a correct sentencing for a crime issue.

@andyburnham.bsky.social There is still a huge problem with GP surgeries. People are still having to wait far too long for an appointment + GP surgeries are still not open at the weekend! People descend on AandE weekends because there is no face to face Primary care available. This should be fixed.

Isn't the faux outrage at Wes Streeting daring to have a joke with his colleagues just a bit OTT? Do we expect our Govt to be robots or do we expect them to be human? Surely the issue with Starmer was that he did come across as a robot. It is just the incessant need to find something to criticise.

There seems to be this desire and need within the UK media and press to criticise a Govt all the live long day. I think they see it as their job. They very rarely report the good things just look to demean and denigrate any Govt. We wander why we have had so many PMs in last 10 years! #UKpolitics

Darren Jones has just made sure his career in Labour Party is over. He has put out a tweet that is a gift to Reform and it is stupid and petty from a bitter man. He can say what he wants to his friends and family but to tweet out something to try and hurt his own party is beyond belief. #ukpolitics

@darrenpjones.bsky.social Who is a bitter, bitter man?? Are you off to Reform? Putting out a tweet denigrating first policy your party has put out is the work of somebody who needs to take some time out and think about what is important. You have given Reform a gift this morning - well done 🙄

@andyburnham.bsky.social Do not allow media to push you into a General Election. They have a desire and need to bring down Govts so you need to fight against that. Make really clear there will be no GE called in the near future. Aim for a GE in late 2028 which gives you 2 years to prove your case.

#ukpolitics You listen to the morning news programmes and they are at it already. They are on their mission to bring down another Government. The constant calling for a General Election when we live in a Parliamentary democracy and a General Election is not needed just shows what they are up to.
