I find it strange some people moaning about someone in their 20s being an mp. I don’t think you want 650 of them , but having 2 or 3 offers a different perspective.

At what stage did ULEZ and other pollution control measures become a left or right thing? Also they get confused with carbon and climate although they do benefit. Is this purely a money thing?

climate change is all part of the woke agenda to shackle the people.

Keir Starmer is shackled to my heart.

I’m happy that Labour were able to win a by-election for my birthday, that was a nice treat.

Don't get me started. I troll conspiracy sites and 15 minute cities are a big thing. I point out that a city like Paris is a 15 minute city so life must be hell there. 

Ah f**k it, it is all Bill Gates fault.

And ban bikes from inner London.

she was just on ch4 news and she was very good, very on board with the messaging about fiscal responsibility and full of attacks on tories that have led us to this state. I actually think she would be a pretty good leader, but I am probably in a minority.

It aint that he’s in his 20s, noone was arsed when it was mhairi black. He’s a privately educated, oxford grad whose work experience includes a year or two in some grad job in PR for the CBI and then working in wes streetings office and that he has the demeanour and voice of alvin and the chipmunks… 

The only good thing about it is that he’ll be gone at the next election, where as if he’d have been patient and waited for a safer seat then he’d have plagued us for years.

An inside view of the refugee barge. I must admit the sleeping accommodation looks more than twice the size my son and myself had in our homeless hostel for 6 months.
