News from the opposition

Ben Sellers tweeted

“I am a socialist brought up in Sweden. What Corbyn is proposing is almost identical to Swedish politics”

I did say slightly better than a rumour yggdrasil [innocent face]

16th June Labour are having a music, art and politics festival. Tickets are available.

Makes sense as so many of the young are supporting Labour

they keep emailing me about it :-) But I am not going to London

Nor me? I’d feel a tad ancient.

Just a bit of evidence of BBC bias

Check your dates. That link about May was dated December 2016.
So she used them for the 2017 election!
That really worked, then.

I didn’t hear it but there are a lot of admiring tweets talking about the interview with Corbyn today on World at One. Did any one hear it?

Another excellent article by Kitty Jones.
Hillary Clinton on Channel 4 news now.

I wonder if the US will want to extradite the boss of CA, who has been sacked.
Nix has given away far too much information.

Can’t watch DH is watching playback football

They are hanging Nix out to dry!

Yes I’ve just read that. Not sure what they think it will achieve.

Read the link I gave you above instead. There are enough links on that to keep you busy until the football is over.

This was written yesterday. May lied in PMQs today about police funding.

There was a debate yesterday about council funding. Not a single Tory backbencher turned up.
No wonder Corbyn went on council funding today.

Well done the Lords. They want the government to think again about stopping free school meals until a full impact assessment is carried out.
Government doesn't like impact assessments, does it?

Anyone affected by the change in pension age should watch this youtube video.

Who asked what was being hidden?

Scottish Government has just released funds to give children on free school meals one meal a day during holidays ,school dinners are sometimes the only meal these children get

Excellent, paddyann.
Begs the question if Scotland can do it, why can't England?

Brilliant. Something good happened today, involving the Fail.

Tories are best at managed the economy? Debt has nearly doubled under this Government. They’re still trotting out the lies though.

Managing!

Tegan, don't know if you have seen this, but you will not have another opencast mine to go past whenever you go up north.

"Marvellous news, the government has rejected the application to dig an opencast coal mine in beautiful Druridge Bay because of environmental concerns. [1]

Communities Secretary Sajid Javid today announced:
"I've made a decision on planning permission for a surface coal mine at Highthorn, Druridge Bay, Northumberland – taking into account all evidence and material considerations, inc. potential environmental impacts, I've refused the application". [2]"

A 38 degrees petition.
