Hello everyone
I publish this on the day that I heard that RFKJr has been appointed by Trump to be his Health Secretary. I know he has to be ratified but OMG is my first reaction.

The General Election – a few explanations plus the shocking event in the US
When I was planning to look closely at the results of our recent General Election and at the first few days of the new Labour Government, one of the aspects I was going to look at was the graciousness of Rishi Sunak (the Conservative leader and Prime Minister) as he …
The Tory legacy – a broken Britain
Where to begin? As I write this I feel both despair and rage. The Conservatives are going to leave a damaged nation in their inevitable handover to Labour, but more than that, any vestige of our once robust welfare state is near to destruction. How have they got away with …
