Posted on 21/12/2025 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard

Labour’s failure reflects our lack of imagination and bottle to demand something new

Posted on 30/04/2025 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard

The nauseating PR seems so ridiculously quaint now; those genius adults were back in charge. How quiet it would be after a decade plus of Tory dysfunction and incompetence. That this Labour government, with the drabbest weathervane leader imaginable, would … Continue reading →

Posted on 11/08/2023 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard

Posted on 31/01/2023 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard

The Queen may be dead, just don’t expect the Monarchy to follow
