What happens when £47 billion disappears from Britain’s economy? youtu.be/tFwmfxMP1hs?...

Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to take £47 billion out of the UK economy — mostly by cutting benefits for migrants and those with mental ill health. That isn’t prudence. It’s managed decline.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy The ten commandments of a just economy

Our economy isn’t working. If we want a sustainable society, we need a new moral code for the economy.

In this video, I set out ten commandments for a just economy.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.

It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok.

Everything is for sale.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

After the firing of Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart and the TDS team relentlessly mocked the criminal. This is just a taste. The entire show is a must-watch.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Former PMs say they use subsidy only for public duties after Boris Johnson revelations Gordon Brown calls for change to rules as he and other ex-leaders say they do not use allowance for commercial work

It's amazing they don't have to declare it. And it's obvious, now that respect for public service is no longer required for a person to be PM, this subsidy was going to be exploited

Labour, BlackRock, and the betrayal of socialist principles A year into government, Labour partnering with private capital indicates abandoned principles and prioritisation of corporate interests

"A year into government, Labour partnering with private capital indicates abandoned principles and prioritisation of corporate interests...

The scale of Labour’s transfer of public wealth into private hands has triggered fierce criticism not only from within the UK but also across the global left."

I always find analysis by John Curtice to be absolutely fantastic. He is measured, has no agenda and whenever he's on TV me and my brother text each other in excitement because we have a running joke where he is our real dad.
