Keir Starmer to drive through welfare cuts for UK’s most severely disabled people, more than 600,000 benefit claimants could lose out on an average of £675 a month. Awful, inhumane. No cuts to corporate welfare, won't tax the rich. People sacrificed to gods of neoliberalism.

I direct all my readers (both of them) to Reich's piece in the Grauniad. Ignore the Californian hyperbole about how much they love us and how much they'll miss us, and just focus on the call to arms. @rbreich.bsky.social there's no need to thank me. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

the Labour party is dead to me. I voted for Starmer, I can only apologise to each and every disabled person. So, so sorry. Membership, and direct debit cancelled immediately. #disability

There are so many crazy things coming out of this administration from Ukraine policy to cutting school lunches, SNAP & Medicaid. It's breathtaking. Sadly, Republicans have been cowered into silence. Now Trump stopped funding food, kenneling & vet care for TSA dogs! www.newsweek.com/doge-cuts-bo...

16.8 million years of life lost…and this was just in 18 European countries and in people over the age of 35 years. In the UK, about 2.3 million years of life were ‘lost’ in the period of 2020-2022 due to the pandemic, of which 1.5 million, or 70%, would have been lived without disability.”

Looks like a massive deal is looming between the EU/Poland and Erdogan’s Türkiye after Polish PM Donald Tusk’s mission to Ankara today. Türkiye provides the security of its huge army. In return it gets Tusk to advocate for “a genuinely realistic advancement of Türkiye’s EU membership process.”

Former Tory Minister Michael Gove wanted to “circumvent” the regulatory process to push a bid by James Dyson to supply NHS ventilators during the pandemic. Prototype “did not get through testing”. Another episode in the neverending state-corporate cronyism and corruption.

Donald Trump has announced he is doubling tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% as a retaliation for the province of Ontario’s imposition of a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to other US states. What a dick!🤦

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

In 2018, Steve Bannon and Michael Wolff watched as Trump... "believed Putin over his own intelligence agencies. Bannon turned to Wolff: “[Putin] has something on Trump, what is it?” Bannon didn’t know and neither did Wolff."

Politics is about whose side you’re on. Kemi Badenoch has just shown she is on the side of JD Vance rather than our brave armed forces and the families who’ve lost loved ones in conflicts over the past 40 years.
