Brexit had blown a black hole in the public finances that the Conservatives and Reform won’t apologise for.

Will the Prime Minister fix it, or just keep complaining?

Now we have firm evidence that a senior Reform member and close ally of Nigel Farage Nathan Gill,was working for the Russians is it not necessary for our democracy to reopen the Russian inquiry and fully investigate the interference in our domestic policy by a hostile state?

Nigel Farage earns over £1m from 12 'second jobs' - check how much your MP earns The Reform UK leader's most lucrative second jobs include hosting on GB News, serving as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion and recording videos for Cameo

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

Something significant people might have missed on Nathan Gill’s indictment for bribery… “conspired with Oleg Voloshyn, and with others”

Maybe sentencing in November will make this clearer

Britain isn't in a debt doom loop, whatever some people say.
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Britain isn't in a debt doom loop, whatever some people say.

The Economist has claimed Britain is trapped in a “debt doom loop.” But they’re wrong. The UK does not face a government debt crisis. What we really face is chronic underinvestment, inequality, and an elite media pushing austerity to protect the wealthy.

When I was young, being a carer simply wasn’t talked about. We’ve come a long way since then, but government still all too often ignores the millions of carers across Britain.

I was proud to write the foreword to this IPPR report calling for real and transformative change.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

How Reeves could raise £15 billion without hurting working people youtu.be/f26kOz28Hjg?... Unearned income—like dividends, rents, and capital gains—escapes the tax burden workers face. In this video, I argue it’s time for economic fairness and tax justice.

Labour minister Liz Kendall announces review of state pension age The work and pensions secretary has warned that triple lock guarantee on the state pension costs £31bn a year

UK govt to review state pension age (SPA).

SPA rising to 67 in 2026-28. Further rises likely.

Rich retire whenever they want to. Others work till bones ache. Life on low wage, low pension, poor healthcare.

Many won't live long enough to get pension.

It is euthanasia of low income families.

Labour's arguments on water nationalisation are wilfully ignorant, stupid or just plain straightforward misrepresentations of the truth. You take your pick. Whatever it is, they're utterly incompetent. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07...

Do we actually need the wealthy? youtu.be/ZY_7CJbeGCw?... We’re starting a new series: unpacking the myths around wealth. From who the wealthy are, how they got their money, to whether we really need them at all. This is about dismantling the stories the rich tell to keep us in line.
