If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...
HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.
Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it
So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?

Dystopian fic isn't 'drama' - it's forward thinking. Let's revisit The Machine Stops, E.M Forster, (1909): “We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch.”

TIBETAN GHOST BEATING FESTIVAL at the Lama Temple or Yonghegong in Beijing China. The symbolic ritual involves wonderfully elaborate costumes & the beating away of spirits of troublesome #ghosts with sticks.

THE MERMAID'S MIRROR. Often seen as a sign of sin, or as representing the planet Venus; it also represents the mermaid's ability to see through the veil that separates the visible and spirit worlds, according to the folklore of mirrors #WateryFolklore ills C14-15th Bestiaries

Dirty Business on @Channel4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed.

Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism 😂
In fact it’s evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms.
The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.

Exactly. A good turn out for a by-election and a solid two fingers to Reform & Labour. Time the broadcast media, the @BBCNews especially, accept that the Greens are a serious mainstream party.

In Celtic lore, fairy lovers often left a silver strand of hair on the pillow — a sign you’d been chosen. Villagers kept it as a charm, or burned it. Folklorists say the strand was a warning: once touched by the Fair Folk, you were never entirely human again. #LegendaryWednesday
