Why an American-style health-care system would be bad for Britain A US style healthcare system may be politically desirable for some, but it is a far from perfect system, even for the insured

Politicians on the right laud the US healthcare system. Yet medical bills is the single biggest cause of bankruptcy – having insurance doesn’t mean you're covered.

Read now to see why the NHS is by far the better option.

Britain’s economy is flatlining - but we have the defibrillator. It’s time to use it. "The politics and the economics are pointing in the same direction. This doesn’t always happen so when it does, you move."

Great article by @pimlicat.bsky.social and @bestforbritain.org

Couldn't agree more.

Have a read..

A Green perspective on the Planning and Infrastructure Act Everyone agrees that Britain needs to get building houses – urgently. However, does the new Act enable this at the cost of the environment?

Why Gas-Powered Data Centres Could Soon Be Coming To Britain Are UK data centres preparing to use gas-powered generators as a short-term energy fix? And what is the government’s view on whether they should? N...

At @commonseac.parliament.uk we're launching an inquiry into the environmental impact of UK data centres, which seem likely to be gas-powered. Brits shouldn't have to face higher bills and accelerated climate change in Starmer's bid to become an “AI superpower”

We cannot allow political subservience to Trump and Netanyahu to lead Britain into a dangerous, illegal, expensive war.

It's time for Starmer to show some genuine backbone on the international stage.

A vertical bar chart titled “London has one of the lowest rate of road traffic deaths in the world.” The chart compares average road‑traffic deaths per 100,000 daytime population for multiple international cities from 2018–2020. Bars run horizontally from 0 to 8 on the x‑axis. At the top of the chart, Oslo has the lowest value, followed by Inner London highlighted in yellow at 0.8, then Zurich, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Greater London highlighted in yellow at 1.1. Below these are Brussels, Bristol, Barcelona, Dublin, Montreal, Paris, Edmonton, Calgary, Warsaw, Milan, Vancouver, Greater Manchester, Lisbon, Melbourne, New York City, Auckland, Buenos Aires, Accra, Rome, Bogotá, Belgrade, Guadalajara, São Paulo, and Fortaleza. Cities at the bottom of the chart show the highest values, approaching 8. Footnote: “Daytime population is the sum of the resident population and the net influx of commuters.” Source: ITF Safer Streets Database.

London is proving that sustained action on road safety delivers real change.

By investing in better junctions, safer speeds and HGV safety standards, we’re building a city you can move around with confidence.

Low rates are a start, but our goal is zero. Because every journey should end safely.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."

Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why | George Monbiot The war on Iran has put fossil-fuel prices centre stage, but don’t believe those who tout ‘maximising the North Sea’ as our salvation, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one.

Oil price profiteering will not be tolerated, says minister Ed Miliband says the competition watchdog is primed to intervene if firms use the oil price shock to

UK govt "will not tolerate" energy firms profiteering from Iran war.

It will do what?

Ofgem allows profiteering: electricity pricing formula is based on price of gas, renewables are the cheapest. Profiteering is built in.

Change the formula, levy windfall tax, prosecute profiteering execs.
