@GingaGill Happy St David’s Day Gill!

Made Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 cakes to celebrate St David’s day. My planc belonged to my great grandmother Adams who helped run a pub in #Haverfordwest..its’s been in use for well over 150 years. Delicious when freshly cooked…😊

Got to wonder how many Trade Secrets Boris Johnson when Partying possibly leaked to his Russian Friends in 2018 when he dodged his Security and went to a BIT OF A DO in ITALY with Russian BILLIONAIRE and Former KGB agent Alexander Lebedev Time for Labour to get Russian Files released Could the police be investigated another Politican ?

If elected, Reform say they would: – Reinstate the two-child benefit cap – Scrap the Employment Rights Bill – Scrap the Equality Act – Scrap the Online Safety Act – Abandon Net Zero – Leave the ECHR – Deport thousands of legal migrants – Cut over £200 billion from public spending And they call that “common sense”. Let’s be clear what this actually means: • Fewer rights at work • Weaker protections against discrimination • Less online accountability • No serious climate strategy • Pulling the UK away from international human rights frameworks • Massive public spending cuts that would hit services ordinary people rely on You can support whoever you like. That’s democracy. But don’t pretend this agenda is about “protecting ordinary people”. It’s about shrinking the state, stripping protections, and shifting power upward. The question isn’t whether they’re honest about their plans. It’s whether people understand the consequences.

No wonder the Epstein files fuel a nihilistic and conspiratorial view that all elites are rotten. It is reprehensible—and hard to understand—why the DoJ has made so little progress filing charges over the past seven years economist.com/leaders/2026/0…

Here is Nigel Farage pictured with Steve Bannon (alt right, nationalis and mate of Epstein) And here is Steve Bannon's email lifted directly from the #EpsteinFiles stating that he's advising Nigel Farage. Make no mistake, the UK is under attack from foreign influences who want disable our country and take away our freedoms. AND they are attempting to do this via reform. You can help stop this by emailing your MP to express your concern about these ties and ask for greater transparency or stricter rules on foreign political influence, here: members.parliament.uk/members/Commons Resit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💷🇬🇧☕️🫖

The trajectory from, “Trump will give Ukraine Tomahawks to attack Russia” to “Trump has starved Ukraine of Patriots to help Russia” is the single greatest example of the failure of people to understand what Trump is and has always been.

Long ramble: I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others. But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect. So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block. The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem. I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration. So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating. To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.

Three years have passed. Ruth will never be forgotten. ❤️

@GingaGill @BBCRadio4 That would dampen the Christmas spirit 😂🤣

Going to have to turn off @BBCRadio4 …currently featuring the obsequious tones & comments from Michael Gove. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Sadie_NC 70’s all the way ❤️

What decade do you think this is from? 😂🤔

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

@RetirementTales Yes, yes, yes 🥰

Margaret has a new obsession. She's gripped by The Celebrity Traitors! "I might apply for the next series!" she says, with a wry smile. But what has equipped Margaret to navigate the unexpected, to read people well & to always get to the truth? 40 years as an infant teacher.

In a world full of Donald Trumps, Be a Robert Redford. ❤️

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years" "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice" @GaryLineker Legend 👏

Well, so much for "The Big Listen". The teaching profession had asked and hoped for change. Today, Ofsted has confirmed what many of us had feared. Ofsted hasn't listened. Ofsted hasn't changed. They've had thirty plus years and countless frameworks to get things right...

Don't you just adore the MP for Clacton who hates the EU but is happy to take a £73k a year pension from them; pays tax in Belgium not the UK; applied for a German passport after Brexit and wants to exit the ECHR which will take away human rights for all UK citizens. What a guy!

Tice screaming about Afghans coming in to the country who were on the list that was leaked Seems his identical twin had a different view in 2021 when he didn't have a cult to incite
