Labour must not bind Britain's fate to the failing electoral system - Politics.co.uk It’s fair to say that British democracy is in ill health. Labour has inherited rock bottom public trust in politics and a state wracked by austerity. We are working to show that government can deliver...

β€˜At the last general election, 58% of people who voted ended up with an MP they did not vote for.β€˜

Our voting system must change.

I do not understand why we are paying to repatriate people who left to avoid paying tax?

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

So, commander Brad Cooper, are you ready to be declared an international war criminal? Because there’s a very good chance indeed that you will be.

Rolls-Royce boss defends state aid bid for new engine despite share buyback British aero-engine company will return between Β£7bn and Β£9bn to investors over next three years amid soaring demand

Corporate Welfare

Rolls-Royce boss defends state aid bid for new engine despite record profits and Β£9bn share buyback.

Corporate bosses attack benefits for the needy and decent wages for workers but want free money.

No free money for any corporation without equity stake.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

We’re going to need a better plan than to try to independent newsletter our way out of this horrific right-wing media consolidation situation.

(Which I say with deep respect for independent journalists.)

We need to demand politicians embrace antitrust policies, at a minimum.

If we truly believe that higher education has economic, social, and civic value then that value must be shared. Not deferred onto the backs of those with the fewest options but reclaimed from those who have benefited most.

Until we are willing to say that out loud, student finance reform will remain a distraction. The problem is not just the loan. The problem is who never has to take one and why.

"But student finance isn’t broken. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect inherited advantage while shifting risk onto those with the least."

Johnson will go down in history as pathetic slime who chose to enable evil because he was too weak to resist it.

Lower than a snakes belly and doomed to be a disgrace for ever. His children and grand children will likely try to change their names to remove the stain of association.
