Argumentative - largely about politics. Impatient with fantasy politics.

Getting old - not there yet but more familiar with the NHS than I was a decade ago

Check your facts - the new #labour PM is NOT a "life peer" - he was knoghted after serving as England & Wales Director of Public Prosecutions - as all his predecessors in that role in charge of prosecuting crime have been
Were he a "life peer" he could not stand as an MP...

There is a reason for that - the #left themselves (or their self-appointed spokespeople) do not regard UK #labour as "left"
Really I think both in the UK & France this is reassertion of the preference of many for social democracy rather than #populistRight government - the sane Right has been infected by Farage, LePen & co - but there is little sign that there is any enthusiasm for the radical left....

Agreed - the media wants to ignore #green politicians - they are not in power, not falling apart, and not banging a populist drum
In fact the opposite - the only party with a clear-eyed view of the growing #ClimateCrisis and #ecocide that humanity is inflicting on our only home... it does not please audiences
