"If we're really concerned about criminals in this country, leaving the ECHR would be exactly like Brexit, in that it would have the opposite effect" - European Movement UK Chair, Dr Mike Galsworthy, on Keir Starmer's calls to reform the ECHR.

Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.
Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".
Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.
Privatisation = Abuses and insanity.

Of course, abandoning international human rights norms is as Far Right as it gets. What this is really about is dressing up Blue Labour's political strategy of appealing to Reform voters in clothing less likely to alienate everyone else.

I'm really impressed by how well Green Party leader Zack Polanski makes the case for liberal democracy as the Labour Party capitulates more & more to the right.

Keir Starmer. Gloves off. The greens are nuts.
Starmer says he’s "taking the gloves off" and that the Greens are "nuts"
Big talk from the PM of vibes based cruelty and trickle down cowardice.

Green party policies are popular amongst ordinary Brits, so calling us nuts is offensive to the electorate who support them
I get it though, Labour are doing so badly and now find themselves fighting on two political flanks
Come join a positive, hopeful vision of Britain!

Could it be something he said? Jeremy Clarkson has an estimated net worth of £59 million - imagine the horror of paying a 1% wealth tax on the value of his assets. How would the poor man survive?

What do these corporations have in common?

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Will Polanski's wealth tax tank the economy? Reeves budget debate
Striking in this debate hosted by @krishgm.bsky.social how many people in the comments are saying that a wealth tax at this point is so obvious.
Is it any surprise that the Labour Governments response is to continually try and take swipes at the Green Party?

Zack Polanskis insane economics
The country wants a wealth tax on assets.
They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked.
They've got no actual argument.

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Michael Gove Made Orwell Prize Judge Despite Record of Attacking Journalists and Dodging Scrutiny
Critics say "Orwell would have enjoyed the irony" of the former Conservative minister's appointment
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Another contemporary yesterday accused the Reform leader of being a
"complete liar". Andy Field, a GP who was two years below Farage at Dulwich, said he had directly witnessed racial abuse from the Reform UK leader.
He told BBC Radio Four's World at One he had been contacted on social media by people "who were nine years old and Nigel Farage, when he was 18 years old, marched frequently into the playground where they were playing and they were told to 'go back to Africa'.
Others were singled out for being Jewish."
Field, who said he did not have political affiliations, added: "T'd see him goose-stepping through the playground and Nazi saluting on many occasions — that was quite a common occurrence. I'd also heard him saying things like Hitler was right and you escaped the gas chamber." In correspondence with The
new allegation concerning Farage’s behaviour when he was 18 years old

Peter Ettedgui says he was targeted at Dulwich College. The Reform UK leader denies he racially abused anybody
"He told the BBC he had been contacted by people "who were nine years old and Nigel Farage, when he was 18 years old, marched frequently into the playground where they were playing and they were told to 'go back to Africa."

The 62 richest people on earth have more wealth than the bottom half of the world's population (economist Richard Wolff).
This is beyond obscene.
A wealth tax is the least we can do.
