“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

Truth isn’t what it used to be. Facts are under attack. But this isn’t new - it’s a playbook perfected by Big Tobacco and weaponised by the far right. How do you fight back when reality itself is being rewritten? New EAB writer Guy Chapman reports.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Most people know the Mail briefly supported the British Union of Fascists in 1934 ("Hurrah for the Blackshirts") but less well known is that Rothermere got all his papers to back them. The Sunday Dispatch ran a prize for the best letter on "Why I Like the Blackshirts".

I do astronomy for a living, and images like this still take my breath away. What a beautiful universe we live in. Even in the midst of trouble, grief, & anything you might be struggling with (like we all are) - try to seek out the beauty. It helps ❤️

this sketch is utterly brilliant: "Farage turned first to GB News, who cover his party with the sort of critical scrutiny more usually associated with biographers of the late Queen...."

Appalling. 🤬 Gloucestershire County Council unanimously called for the CEO of Thames Water to come to a special meeting and answer questions about pollution and sky rocketing water bills. That meeting happened in Nov. The CEO didn’t show - sent representatives instead. No apology was issued.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

These numbers are off the scale…yet the Fareham & Waterlooville voters re-elected @SuellaBraverman In the real world, she would have be out on her ear for such gross mismanagement, not standing for re-election - as I pointed out to her in our GE24 hustings using £380M figure; little did we know 🧐

As the LD PPC who was up vs Suella in GE24, it was no surprise that she + the Reform candidate won c.27k votes between them. We met many Reform voters on the doorstep: avid Farage fans, v strident in their support, many of whom had bought their houses under Thatcher. 1/

The constant use of migrants as a political football is a self inflicted illness for Britain, creating an unhealthy society. The UK is built on immigration. We have always needed it, it has made us who we are, it’s our lifeblood. We need to start seeing migrants as us. Not them.
