Not JSO but keeping to the subject of protest, this week we've seen people being arrested for ‘conspiracy to cause a public nuisance’ In one case people arrested were planning on disrupting the State opening of Parliament. Totally legitimate target for protest. It's a disgrace really.

When I was growing up if you were reading about people being imprisoned for peaceful protest it might be an Amnesty International report on a repressive foreign regime. Find it incredibly sad what the tories have done to our country and unfortunately don't see Labour repealing their legislation.

We know that Potter takes an age working day in day out to get results and we also know that elite players don't respect him. Other than being a yes man what makes him suitable for the job?

Yep, pushing far right into third place, good news.

Both are bad and I expect we'll see more PFI unfortunately.

Yeah it's not like Labour have ever made any lasting changes to have benefited the country. NHS, Welfare State, Minimum wage are all small beer compared to tories selling off our national industries, privatisation for pals, decimating stock of social housing.

It's also a way of packing the House of Lords with Labour appointees so serves two purposes.

The Tories have been smashed, hopefully the govt won't make the same mistake as France and track right to placate the Reform vote.

Truss lost a majority of 26k.
