The biggest lie of all
Like many former Labour Party people, I went to see The Big Lie last weekend. It had already had two public showings in my town, and this was the third. I didn’t go to the first one because – well, I was a CLP officer when all this happened. I knew all too well what…

Slow-burn rebellion
Seen those complaints on social media that the people aren’t rebelling? They think we’re a nation of quitters, or that we’re all duped by the Tories or the fake opposition. Tell them we haven’t given up. Tell them to come on out and join in – there is so much going on lately. Got depressed…

Big lies and bad memories
All over the country, former Labour Party activists are filling halls and cinemas to watch Oh Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie. I’m not surprised. They were hurt, they were cheated, they were robbed, and it’s healing, to see your story told properly. I don’t seem to have gone along though. I was a CLP officer…

Mind the gap
This is to all our warrior women who are, understandably, running short of patience – and also, to those who are now saying they’re out of patience with our women. Some are calling it the genderation gap and whilst that’s sometimes true, I will start by pointing out there are plenty of youngsters who saw…

What we owe Harry
No, not that Harry … or that one, we owe this Harry… This is an article about how to save our NHS. For some years now, we’ve all seen the issuing of a crime number as a sign that the police don’t have the staff or the funds to actually pursue a crime. It seems…

On being disinformed
***Long read*** For most of the last decade, despite my determination to live effectively in the real world, I have been repeatedly drawn into apparently intractable battles of words. It’s not just me, either. I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve told me they’ve given up on politics entirely because “it’s all so…

Even their Christmas parties are evil
***Long read, but URGENT and IMPORTANT*** This is an article about our NHS, and the point I hope to make is that ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES must be recognised as the destroyers of our NHS. If we are to save this precious service, we need to think carefully: If you are not poor, or vulnerable,…

I’m not that fussed how you vote
If the last few years have proved anything, it is that we have problems with the operators in all our political parties, the difference is, we have manipulative, selfish billionaires mostly driving the Conservative Party and manipulative, selfish millionaires everywhere else. First, vote… That doesn’t mean, however, that voting doesn’t matter. It’s not going to…

“I never lose”
Words spoken by a woman who has become the figurehead, a queen, for one part of the women’s sex-based rights movement. It’s a dangerous statement, standing alone. It’s a fantasy, a fictional position. I found out recently that the full quote she lifted the phrase from is, “I never lose – I win, or I…

Politically homeless?
Analogies are melodramatic. That’s what makes them powerful. Outside of poetic language, real people die of being really homeless. It’s a shame and a constant anxiety to all of us that we’ve allowed bad government to continue for so long that in some areas, the homeless are as numerous about the streets as rubbish sacks…
