The Labour govt has been a disappointment. First major act to remove winter fuel payments = thoughtless & politically deaf. Ignoring the LGBTQ+ community on trans rights = mean and spineless. Time for them to remember who they are and what they stand for.
I wonder if losing Runcorn might end up being the best thing that could happen to Labour right now. The clamouring for a wake up call is coming from many different directions. If this liberates the government to be bolder and faster and less scared of its own shadow that’s no bad…
Giving the Ukraine rugby league kids their new kit, on behalf of @Cougarmania, will stay with me for a long time. Thanks to @campbellclaret and @adamhillscomedy for lighting the fire in my belly. We can learn a lot about freedom, respect and values from the people of @Ukraine


The misery Mayor strikes again.
As your Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, with responsibility for transport, you can rest assured I won't be endorsing any woke bonkers rail travel adverts like this!
Proud to have you as our patron @IndiaWilloughby. Together we’re standing up against the bullies.
What it’s all about - KINDNESS! Thinking of others ✌️. The fab Keighley Cougars @Cougarmania have had strips made for rugby league teams in Ukraine - with @MrRypod @itskauegarcia personally delivering next wk. Go Cougars! Proud to be patron! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @campbellclaret
‘We didn’t care what they thought of us — we just wanted to help.” That’s how Mike Jackson, co-founder of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (@LGSMpride), sums up the radical spirit behind one of the most powerful — and unlikely — alliances in British political history, which…

This is why I love @Cougarmania
'bout time! Thanks for sticking with us.
Today marks the 5th anniversary of the death of George Floyd. As a mark of respect, our game today is dedicated to racial equality. We remind all that Racism has no place at Cougar Park.
Every year the comments on our @Cougarmania #Pride game become more and more toxic. So much of society is rowing back against us, if we don’t stand up, then who will? This is why Pride matters.

I genuinely don't understand what Starmer is doing. He's seemingly occupied with minor bureaucratic, welfare, and tax changes, which barely move the needle in the grand scheme of things, and yet are immensely unpopular. Means-testing the Winter Fuel Allowance saved a maximum of…
‘Labour need to talk more about how Brexit has damaged the country’s prospects.’ It’s this honesty from @AndyBurnhamGM - his willingness to address the fundamental issue - that makes me believe he’s the only one who can save Labour. He is its last chance.
It makes me so sad as well as angry that trans people are effectively having their lives cancelled. Society did this to the gays until the world woke up and saw the injustice. 🏳️⚧️
Horrendous. If you’re trans and in the UK, or simply support the trans community during this nightmare time, here’s FIVE things I’d recommend right now. Can’t believe this country or our PM. 🏳️⚧️❤️ @UKLabour @bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer
Over a thousand people, many c!s women, chanting “Fuck JKR” - in Parliament Sq ❤️. This is what we need. These weirdos DO NOT represent the overwhelming majority of British women. Let’s see if that makes it onto the news. Let Women Speak, aye? This is now the civil rights…
@Cougarmania stand in support of all trans people. An oppressed minority just wanting to live their authentic self. We see you, we value you, and we respect you. Trans people will always be welcomed and valued at Cougar Park. Trans women are women. Trans men are men.…
Global investors are selling US stocks because they know Trump's tariffs will kill globalisation and trigger recession 1/... but why are they selling bonds at the same time? 🧵
The people who screwed the British car industry... there'll be more...
Don’t forget the Trump cheerleaders when the Trump Tariffs kick in.
What @realDonaldTrump is doing with tariffs on emerging east Asia economies, just one word. Evil.
