@HughEdw31897368 Nothing like as bad as what Boris got. In comparison Starmer has an easy ride.

A sometimes hostile media Lewis Goodall? Are you for real? It’s been relentless from day one. Nothing sometimes about it, it’s every hour, every single day. #c4dispatches

We are called "the elderly." But that quiet label hides something most people rarely stop to consider. We are the last living witnesses of a world that no longer exists. Look at us and you might see gray hair, slower steps, and the patience that time teaches. But listen to our story — really listen — and you'll realize something extraordinary. We are the only generation in human history to have lived a fully analog childhood and a fully digital adulthood. That's not a small thing. That's one of the most breathtaking journeys a human being has ever been asked to make. We were born in the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, into a world still rebuilding from the rubble of World War II. Our toys were marbles and hopscotch and card games at kitchen tables. When the streetlights flickered on, that was it — childhood adventures were over, and it was time to go home. No smartphones. No streaming. No endless scroll. We built our memories in the real world. With scraped knees and laughter echoing down streets and friendships formed face to face. In 1969, we sat in living rooms staring at black-and-white televisions as Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Hundreds of thousands of us stood in muddy fields at Woodstock believing — really believing — that music and community could reshape the future. We fell in love to vinyl records spinning on turntables. We waited days, sometimes weeks, for handwritten letters to arrive. We learned patience because information didn't come instantly. Mistakes were fixed with erasers — not a delete button. Then the world transformed. Machines that once filled entire rooms shrank to devices lighter than a paperback. We went from rotary phones and party lines to seeing the face of someone we love on the other side of the ocean — instantly, on something that fits in a pocket. We watched the birth of the personal computer. The arrival of the internet. The smartphone. Artificial intelligence. And through every single shift — we adapted. Not because it was easy. Because that's what our generation does. We also carry the weight of history in our bodies. We grew up afraid of polio and tuberculosis. We watched science defeat them. We witnessed the discovery of the structure of DNA, the decoding of the human genome, the transformation of medicine itself. We survived pandemics across decades — and kept going. Few generations have been asked to absorb so much change in a single lifetime. And through all of it, certain things never changed. We still know the joy of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. The taste of vegetables picked straight from a garden. The value of a long conversation that unfolds slowly, without a screen interrupting it. We have celebrated births and mourned losses. Carried the stories of friends who are gone. Watched the world become something our younger selves couldn't have imagined — and found ways to belong in it anyway. We are not relics. We are living bridges between two entirely different worlds. Our memory carries something the modern world needs — proof that progress doesn't have to erase wisdom. That speed doesn't have to replace patience, kindness, or reflection. So when someone calls us elderly, we can smile. Because behind that word is something remarkable. We crossed two centuries. Witnessed eight decades of transformation. Walked from handwritten letters to artificial intelligence — and never lost our sense of what actually matters.

We’ve turned a piece of cotton into a psychological evaluation. If you think a hoodie on a grown man is a sign of arrested development, you’re just projecting your own insecurities about getting older. The hoodie isn't a skateboard accessory. It’s the most efficient piece of clothing ever designed. Demanding that men swap physical comfort for a stiff collar just to satisfy your visual aesthetic is peak vanity. If you’re actually comfortable in your own skin, you don’t need a blazer to prove you’re an adult. Stop policing the wardrobes of people who have already done the work. Real maturity is realizing that other people’s clothes aren't your business.

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

@GarethGrobler @jk_rowling Absolutely! Sartorial suicide. The only hosiery that can be worn with sandals are tights or stockings and the sandals must then be high heeled and strappy.

@jk_rowling You need to get your priorities right. The starting pint surel has to be sandles & socks...that's a blanket ban I would get behind...

@DEDNaive @labourlewis @Ofwat @DefraGovUK @EnvAgency Fuck the water companies! It will still cost public funding to repair the infrastructure they were meant to maintain, improve & renew as it is. Their behaviour warrants no compensation. It's too late for prosecutions to put things right. But they should still be prosecuted.

@labourlewis AND HOW WILL YOU FUND RE-NATIONALISATION. You can bleat on all you like but it’s only viable if you have a spare £60 BILLION to buy out Water companies debt. Maybe @Ofwat @DefraGovUK and the @EnvAgency could actually prosecute the Water companies’ CEOs..?

A year ago today, my Private Members’ Water Bill was debated in Parliament. I set out plainly why public ownership is the only way to fix our broken water system. Because privatisation is an outrage. It is an outrage that companies like BlackRock have siphoned off billions from our water system while our rivers have become open sewers. That infrastructure built with public money is crumbling. That entire towns are left without water for days. That people are getting sick - some even dying - from water regulators told us was safe. It is an affront to every value that we claim to stand for as a nation to have let our most precious and fundamental resource become a vehicle for profit extraction. The founding principle of the NHS still holds: some things should be run for need, not profit. Water is one of them. Public ownership delivers cleaner, fairer and cheaper water. That is not just me saying that, it’s the experts. We have the solution; what we’re missing is political will. My Bill didn’t pass. But with the support of tens of thousands of you, we’ve built on it. It’s going to take everything we’ve got to kick the profiteers out of our water.

I am 71. And, Keir Starmer - despite all the media approrobia - is possibly the best Prime Minister I have experienced in this country.

I had to post this!

Do you think that from the first day The Labour Party took office the mainstream media has run an unrelenting campaign of negativity against Sir Keir Starmer?🤔 Repost after voting please.

@CuriosityonX Think I know what you meant but those dots are stars and like our sun, life as we understand it, could not exist "on" one.

There has to be life on one of these dots.

@Matt_Pinner @PaulSchleifer Fantastic pic.

I finally got the picture. After 99 attempts trying to get a photo of Durdle door & our Milky Way !! I got it!!! 😮yay!!! Was it worth it 🤔 I hope you like it!!! In fact,I hope you love it, let me know

@andy147 @Imogenlemon02 @TeresaC123 Ha ha not in the least ironic coming from a bot

@Stuart__Neal @Imogenlemon02 @TeresaC123 HaHa, ironic coming from Labour

Why is Badenoch spending all six questions on North Sea oil and gas when the PM has already answered the question. New North Sea licenses now wouldn’t make a difference to gas and oil prices now. How can she not understand that. #pmqs

@livewithnoregrt A lifetime together.

how long do y'all think it takes to fully know a person?

@Resisting313392 @johnandi ✋

✋️

@Heccles94 Initiate a project to take energy, water, mail and rail back into public ownership.

If you were PM, what’s the first thing you would do?

Give me a Thumbs up 👍 if you agree!!

@donkoclock @thebuilddoctor 👍

Do you think Sir Keir Starmer is the best prime minister in a generation?🤔 Repost after voting please.

@BladeoftheS I stopped buying their products (not that I bought them much anyway) after they, the company, decided they'd "donate" a slice of their employees pay. Another example of capitalism thinking they should be able to do what they and their workers having no voice.

BrewDog had more than £550 million in debts when the firm was handed over to administrators. Founders James Watt and Martin Dickie have approximately £550 million between them. The solution is simple.
