Even though we are far away from a General Election- the fight is on for the votes of the British Working Class - by me.
The Labour and Tory party conferences had one thing in common: they reeked of desperation. Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch are beginning to realise how little the public cares for the two main parties. Trust is utterly broken, says Lisa McKenzie https://t.co/0hfgKcJkSn

Mr. Inbetween premiered on this day in 2018. This dark comedy-drama is, by far, one of the best shows I've ever seen. Scott Ryan stars as a hitman juggling his violent professional life with normal personal obligations. If you can find it, watch it. His logic here is sound.

I know there's the big politics & marches going off all over the Country but if you dont do the grass roots & local its hollow. We have taken our play Sixteen around Ashfield this week & it's been brilliant. We take it home to Sutton-in-Ashfield today.

We were lucky enough to see the preview of this play and it was absolutely brilliant - mesmerizing to see the miners strike through the eyes of the young women who lived it. Go and see it, we will go again. It was that good

Queen Elizabeth the second visited Russia this week, becoming the first English monarch to set foot in the Soviet Union. The visit, which will last for two weeks, is expected to have absolutely no effect on anything whatsoever.

What is it about posh girls pushing for illegal immigration? Professional activist Zoe Gardner is the latest ubiquitous talking head to dismiss working-class concerns about the migrant hotels. The bourgeois left just doesn’t get it, says Lisa McKenzie https://t.co/s55PHgF5Z5
