Congratulations Hannah Spencer and the Greens ! And thank you for showing progressive policies are popular.

Labour's right wing was rightly thrashed in Denton & Gorton - and must be punished for bringing Labour into disrepute with racist policies on migration & with austerity- style economics.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

What a rare breath of deliciously fresh air. Congratulations Hannah, Zack, everyone involved in defeating Reform's naked xenophobic authoritarianism with authentic humanist hope, not with Starmer's authoritarianism-lite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s an absurd anomaly that the most polluting form of transport pays not just the least - but zero tax, no VAT and no fuel duty, making it artificially cheaper than all other ways to travel.

Hmmm interesting, I've gone the other way. Used to be must listen but Alistair has been holding back what he knows about Labour. Rory has been defensive and chippy about the royal family. Remember his sulky breakdown on newsnight. Both are neolibs on economics.

(2) here is based purely on anecdote. But - judging by social media posts - there seems to be a sizeable overlap between BTL enthusiasts and crypto boosters.

Two black steel and oak spice shelves attached to a kitchen wall. The bottom shelf is wider than the top one, between them they are filled with herbs, spices, oils and vinegar. Beneath the shelves, on the kitchen counter, are a coffee mug, coffee beans, and a moka espresso pot.

Three stacks of narrow spice shelves on a kitchen counter. They are all constructed with a steel frame incorporating a guard rail and a solid oak shelf. One stack has a grey/silver steel frame, another is white, and the third is black.

shameless self promotion, but just had another amazing review for these shelves and it makes my shriveled cynical heart sing with joy

stock a little low again, if the weather is conducive to welding tomorrow will have more by end of week

The CBI did some fantastic analysis on this topic - their conclusion was that if we do not arrest the decline of nature in our country, within ten years we’ll suffer an economic decline on a par with Brexit. Our economies (of the world) and nature are joined at the hip.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

Cheltenham Council’s Hidden Budget Crisis Lib Dems Accused of Fudging Figures.

In Cheltenham a financial storm is brewing at the Liberal Democrat-controlled Borough Council – and almost nobody in opposition seems willing to call it out garyclarke496118.substack.com/p/cheltenham...

Alternatively, lets pay people fairly, protect them from predatory housing costs and have them pay their £3 bus fare themselves. People want real change not gimmicks.

"Over the course of the last century, the number of workers employed in industry and in the farm sector has collapsed dramatically. At the same time, professional, managerial, clerical, and sales workers tripled, growing from one-quarter to three-quarters of total employment:' In other words, productive jobs have been largely automated away. But rather than allowing a massive reduction of working hours to free the world's population to pursue their own projects, pleasures and ideas, we have seen the ballooning of the admin sector, up to and including the creation of whole new industries like financial services or telemarketing, or the unprecedented expansion of sectors like corporate law, human resources and PR." "And these numbers do not even reflect all those whose job is to provide administrative, technical, or security support for these industries These are what I propose to call Bullshit Jobs." .... . - David Graeber

Why are we not working 15-hours a week as John Maynard Keynes predicted?

This is related to what David Graeber calls: 'Bullshit Jobs.'

And yet American protesters on American soil get a bullet in the face

Most significant stat was the number of people who just were not going to vote at all. Turnout in some wards less than 20%. Surprising to me is that Reform had no luck getting the disaffected out either.
