Speaking of Starmer's 'island of strangers', weird that it comes from the man who wants BlackRock, an American asset manager, to rebuild - and own - Britain.

Class struggle isnβt just a binary fight between the worldβs workers & ruling class, it manifests itself between the working & middle class too. If the environmental movement continues to brush this to one side, the only outcome on our horizon is abject failure.

A 10 year plan to make 30k jobs, in a region of 2 million people and it cost Β£7bn quid? Thatβs Β£230k per job. Canβt help but think it might be better to give that money directly to people. Why is government investment in the UK so expensive and provides so little for the cost? Is it consultants?
