Starmer & Co. Just one disappointment after another.

No guts. No vision. No hope.

If Labour are willing to bin their manifesto pledges on tax rises, why not on Brexit?

That would win them far, far more votes than raising taxes ever will. Indeed, tax rises are likely to crater their weak support even further.

What's so magical about Brexit that it must remain untouchable?

Ministers confirm plans to reduce London’s affordable housing quotas Developers will qualify for fast-track planning status if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target

Govt reduces London’s affordable housing quotas.

As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution.
This week's column explains what we're missing and why it's so important.
