If the government has no control over bond yields and bond yields determine fiscal policy, then we should be demanding every day that they present us with a roadmap for getting out of that situation (and not a roadmap supplied by the markets or the treasury). www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

I don't often ask people to write to their MPs. But I think they might listen to you on this, as it's so jaw-droppingly awful, and they're almost certainly unaware of it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Please also write to the Environment Secretary: [email protected] Thanks.

Only just over half (55%) of Labour’s general election voters say they will definitely vote, compared to 78% of 2024 Reform voters and 70% of Tories Not surprising Labour voters are jumping ship after Starmer's sick war on the poor and failure to tax the richest www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

The hidden cost of privatisation can be seen everywhere The domino effect of privatisation can particularly be seen in agriculture, where 40% of costs come from energy use - showing just how insidious Thatcher, Blair, and now Starmer's legacy is www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Mental ill-health is behind soaring disability benefits bill in England & Wales. Problems triggered by insecurity, anxiety, poverty, poor healthcare. People taking refuge in drugs, alcohol, suicide. Govts cut benefits, support services. No strategy for dealing with the causes.

To revive economy UK govt must redistribute wealth. Bottom 50% of the population has 5% of wealth; bottom fifth has 0.5%. 1% have more than 70% population combined. Median wage is £29,604. Real average wage unchanged since 2008. Cut taxes on the bottom 50%. Tax wealth. End tax perks of the rich.

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

I still have an account on X. It's fascinating to watch it slowly but surely choking any genuinely dissenting views. The boa constrictor of Musk's fascism is determined to squeeze every vestige of Twitter life out of anyone that even mildly disagrees with him.

The bottom line is that Zelenskyy refused to give away Ukraine's mineral wealth, without a cast iron guarantee of support if (when?) the Russian's come around for a third time to grab some more territory.

Citigroup credited a client’s account with $81tn when it meant to send only $280. It was missed by both a payments employee and a second official assigned to check the transaction And we are told banks have good internal controls. Wait till AI takes over. archive.ph/L2LAY

The neoliberal political-economic model of selling everything that isn't nailed down to the corporations - allowing for the systematic impoverishment of the majority of citizens - whilst making socially Liberal gestures towards minorities, is dead, as is the political class that supported it.
