Gool Mighal Lowen - Happy Feast of St Michael the Archangel. One of Kernow’s three patron saints - his cult was likely brought here by Normans and Bretons in the eleventh century, although his apparition was seen at Karrek Loos Yn Koos (St Michael’s Mount) in the fifth century.

@JamesGilesRBK The Cornish are a recognised national minority with the same standing as the Scots and Welsh. We have our own banner of St Piran.

Labour has a massive mandate to drag this country into the 21st century. It could: - introduce voting reform - empower places people identify with with meaningful devolution - re-nationalise public services - introduce a wealth tax Yet here we are, aping Reform. Woeful

A ‘one size fits all’ system disadvantaging Cornwall? Colour me surprised 🙄 Policies (or indices) designed by the centre and applied from the centre fail Cornwall time and again. DEVOLVE. NOW. Rural poverty 'hidden behind scenic views' bbc.com/news/articles/…

“It’s the Tamar not the Amazon, for Heaven’s sake” - David, Baron Cameron. "Look, I don't think that we need a nation status for Cornwall” - Sir Keir Starmer. Dismissiveness of Cornwall’s unique identity comes in every political hue……

@JohnnyDundee I was in the Debate Night audience in Hamilton and after the audience were seated 2 people came from the "Green Room" area and were seated on the isle seats even asking someone to move to another seat. Both were asked questions by the presenter.

Too many people dismiss the possibility of reform winning the next GE, despite all polling evidence. The same people didn't think Brexit would happen, or that trump would win again. Burying our heads in the sand gets us nowhere. We need to face this challenge head on.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

The people of today’s Cornwall were trading tin with the people of today’s Palestine (Levant) some 4,000 years ago. Such trade with the eastern Mediterranean continued into the sixth century CE - with unprecedented amounts of pottery once holding wine and oil found at Tintagel.

@lemarksmith @IanSaltern We both care about those people. Where we differ is on the means of help. Devolution means more powers here to help those people, and fairer funding with spending decided here. Whitehall doesn’t always know best.

@YesCornwall "All corners of England, including Cornwall" in response to recognition of our nation. Just about sums up the government's attitude towards Kernow. Cornwall translated as "the horn of non-English", so not England then...

Very good from @labourlewis - “If Labour and progressives don’t offer that story of renewal, if we don’t rebuild our national institutions, restore collective pride…the far right will do it for us, in their own image. And by then, it will be too late”

Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to middle school together and grew up on the same Eastern District council estate in Northampton. I asked him why he was there. He gave me two answers:…
