It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

Child poverty has fallen in Scotland - whilst rising sharply in the UK. Absolute child poverty in Scotland fell from 23% to 17% - the lowest figure in 30 years. SNP Scottish Government policies are working to deliver on our top priority of eradicating child poverty.

A narrative is recited almost everywhere: that Rachel Reeves is being "forced" to cut benefits, and is faced with "hard choices" or "no choice". This story, a staple of neoliberal doctrine, is completely false, as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

As an aside, because I’m appalled by Labours benefit reform, there was ZERO real engagement or outrage when the Tories killed hundreds of thousands with austerity and put 4m kids in poverty. But, 250k more people in poverty (including 50k children) to save a small amount is contemptible, frankly.

I wonder whether Governments - here Labour but they're all the same - think, or even care, about how this kind of rank dishonesty (brutally exposed by @tomroyston.bsky.social) obliterates trust in politics?

New UK minimum wage for an over-21 full-time worker will be £22,222 a year before tax and NIC. A single person needs to earn £28,000 a year for minimum acceptable std of living. A couple with 2 children needs £69,400. Millions in poverty. Save for pension, buy home? Poverty institutionalized.
