A clear explanation of why the Green transition isn't happening. Another report this week shows 2-4 billion likely to die. “No capitalist,” Marx wrote, “ever voluntarily introduces a new method of production, no matter how much more productive it may be… so long as it reduces the rate of profit.”

An excellent opportunity for the anti-Trump, anti-fascist majority in this country to have its say. Not just about Trump, but about everyone in Westminster and Fleet St who has fawned over him, played down his nature, accommodated and collaborated.

We talked about this on ACFM. Even plenty of leftist commentators are addicted to this trope. On the one hand it expresses a legitimate anxiety that we might be seeing an emergent trend. On the other hand it’s often just lazy sensationalism.

Patel. Braverman. Shapps. Braverman (again). Cleverly. Cooper. 6 years of Home Secretaries from both tired old parties demonising migrants. 6 years of refusing to face up to the consequences of their austerity. 6 years of protecting the interests of the powerful and wealthy

30%-40% of public money given to England's care homes vanishes in profits, little left for frontline services. Almost all care homes forcibly closed between 2011 and 2023 were operated by for-profit companies. Profits and care can't be combined. Watch the Minister's reply.

Will is right of course. It's also notable that Blue Labour is making a comeback, which seems to happen every time it becomes obvious that Labour has exhausted any popular potential that neoliberalism might have had, but is also controlled by elements that would rather do anything than socialism.

Large language models are very good at answering the question "what is the sort of thing that a person might say in response to this query?" And sometimes that's what you want! in which case they can be very impressive. But often it isn't what you want.
