Happy New Year to all!
Here is mine and Tom’s Christmas special where we choose our dream Govt front bench. Who would be on yours?
Welcome to the Thelma and Tom Christmas Special. For our Christmas present this year we get to choose our very own Prime Minister and Cabinet. It was great fun, but seriously the government we have chosen would be so much better than what we have now - not a difficult challenge, I know! We also treat ourselves and all our listeners to a wonderful brass band, a fabulous trombonist on a CWU picket line, and a full on throwback late 60s performance by Hurricane Rodriguez on his electric guitar. If you enjoy listening to our podcast please do share on social media, and by sending the link to your friends. And if you have ideas for people to serve in our sensible, compassionate, humane government, do let us know with names and reasons, either on Twitter or at [email protected]. Also, if you have been nominated by us for a post in our cabinet, and would like to chat about what it involves, and your availability, please do get in touch - we would love to talk to you. Thank you so much for listening to our podcast, and we both wish you all the very best for the New Year. We have some great ideas for 2023 so please like and follow to make sure that you don't miss an episode. Love and Peace, and Solidarity.
Say it myself, this could be one of the best Thelma and Tom's we've ever done. The Labour Party are now virtually indistinguishable from the Tory Party, with even Farage this week, complementing Starmer on his immigration policies. How much worse does it have to get before everyone on the Left finally realises that we have been almost completely squeezed out of mainstream electoral politics by the UK establishment. The Peoples Alliance of the Left is a serious attempt to help organise the Left into an electoral force. If you are interested in being a part of this movement, please listen to the podcast, and please do check out PAL. Solidarity. Tom
A piece I wrote last year for Red Pepper Magazine about the Break up of Britain. Quite relevant after the decision made today to prevent a second Scottish referendum on independence
