Ah yes. We’ve been expecting you. The latest kick in the nuts for all the racist & racist-adjacent ‘mainstream’ UK journalists who mocked the notion that Trump’s administration was far-right & fascistic. Don’t expect any apologies, though. It’s Brexit 2.0.

Disestablish the Church of England A state religion has no place in a 21st century democracy.

AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot’s pay rises to £17.7m Increase of 6.4% comes as drugmaker reports strong profit growth, despite cancelling UK investment projects

AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot’s pay rises to £17.7m.

With Trump's backing the company demanded price hike of 25% for drugs supplied to the National health Service. The UK govt capitulated.

No govt demands end to fat-cattery and profiteering. People pay more in taxes, get less.

The New World. The unBrexited Britain that could have led Europe. London could have been the EU’s capital, leading the continent’s defence against Putin and Trumpworld, instead of a spectator to decisions it once helped to shape. 18 February.

Brexit is a clear example of self-sabotage, with the negative impacts still being felt a decade later. Research has found that at the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been had we remained in the European Union.
