RIP, Joe Don Baker. So many things to treasure him for but it's "Edge of Darkness" that lives in my head forever. He's incredible.

‘Greedflation’ fears rise as Bank of England official warns firms against price hikes. Profiteering is rife - water, energy, food, banks, insurance, internet, mobile phones, medicines, rents. Need govt action/prosecutions, price caps; worker/consumer elected directors on boards, votes on exec pay.

FROM HIS UNACCEPTABLE REMARKS ON IMMIGRATION TO HIS SUPPORT FOR THE GAZA GENOCIDE AND HIS SILENCE ON THE EXTERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA BY ISRAEL. Keir Starmer is morally bankrupt and not fit to be prime minister. We should be demanding his resignation.

Britain is running out of jail cells because it is locking up tens of thousands of people with drink and drug problems, mental health issues and low educational attainment. Try tackling these issues instead of building more prisons.

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we? Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

Reform voters think you're a Chairman Mao and Tony Blair combo (derogatory). The left of the party is voting Green, independent, SNP, even Lib Dem. I know your only job was to crush the left and CONGRATS, Keir, you did it, baby! You, Morgan, Tony, Peter, your palz in print media ruddy did it!

Thames Water executives to receive bonuses from £3bn emergency loan. Bonus for dumping sewage in rivers, not plugging leaks, neglecting investment, fleecing customers. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Govt/Regulators do nothing. Let customers vote on exec pay. archive.ph/lcNyD

The Changes is a remarkable - and remarkably progressive - 1975 Children's BBC serial about an outbreak of modern day ludditism in the UK, with a suitably remarkable Krautrock-inspired BBC Radiophonic Workshop soundtrack. Here's the story of my hunt for it... timworthington.org/2018/04/21/o...

At my age, most friends and acquaintances have medical conditions and regular contact with the NHS. Whether it's minor procedures like cataracts or cancer, waiting times appear to be getting shorter. There's a good story out there. Labour should concentrate on its strengths not chase Reform.

Keir Starmer immitates Reform in his divisive speech. Accuses immigrants of causing “incalculable damage”, making the UK “an island of strangers”. Rightly faces backlash from unions, employers, MPs. Silence on class war, inequalities, profiteering, lack of public services, fuelling frustrations.

Tackling child poverty could be Labour’s best chance to stop Reform UK’s rise, Starmer's first act was to continue the two child benefit cap. Disability benefit cuts will push another 50,000 children into poverty. Lives blighted to appease the rich. Can't build economy on pain and exclusion.

COMMENT | Starmer’s immigration plans aren’t just mean-spirited, they’re anti-growth

submitted 3 days ago • 14 comments

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.
