'I'm with Ken Loach on this, and Clement Attlee who said "Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.” It never fails to shock me just how easily we ended up here.' via Notts Unison Branch

They said the main overriding goal is growth. They had 5 years as an opposition team to prepare and plan for this. Now 6 months in…they themselves say they haven’t got a clue. Labour needs to quickly dump Starmer and Reeves. Everyday they stay helps the Tories and Reform.

Facial Recognition-a Starmeroid Technology. "The government should not use face recognition because it is too inaccurate to determine people’s rights & benefits-it threatens privacy & introduces information security risks." Smart tech in the hands of dumb cops-a bad move. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

The vacuum in British politics following the implosion of all Starmer's Labour party credibility-as a war-crazed austerity party in hock to outside interests-the ground cannot be occupied by a rebranded Tory far-right company like Reform Ltd-selling us out for profit-let's get behind local activists

Labour: too indifferent to democracy to care about its future www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12... Labour is resisting the call to block Musk from donating to Reform. They're so frightened of governing they probably don't even know it's addressed to them.

Keir Starmer-led Labour Govt is unpopular. Why? It is following Tory or worse policies Two-child benefit cap Winter fuel payment cut No change in income tax thresholds No curb on profiteering No end to water woes Botched rail nationalisation Must change policies leftfootforward.org/2024/12/labo...

Starmer's authoritarianism is leading to poor policy choices by govt. Party membership emasculated. MPs showing dissent silenced. Parliamentary select committees stuffed with novices. Left purged. Lack of diversity leads to poor policy choices. leftfootforward.org/2024/12/labo...

Ministers resist calls to block Musk donations to Farage’s Reform UK. Parties know that change will hit their own coffers. So they do nothing to end hijacking of democracy by corporations/rich. Ban all political donations. Let parties rely on membership fees. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Musk model: just accuse everyone else of lying while you tell demonstrable lies, again and again. And millions believe it. We are in an unbelievably dangerous moment for democracy right now, with the entire public square polluted and undermined by the tech bosses.

You'd think a PM who was a human rights lawyer and DPP and brags about dealing with international fraud and terrorism would have at least half a clue but no not the foggiest. Labour are so cooked and they're being rinsed in the comments. Where are the security services on this? Jesus...

People need to be primed to be alert to harmful information systems whether govt or media or internet. We need to teach the fundamentals. Once learned they can apply universally. Hold bent politicians to account, abusive bosses, domestic abusers, con artists, media shills, griefers on internet.

I still find it unbelievable that some people, people who call themselves socialists or on the left, have never posted one thing about Palestinians. Then they follow me and expect to be followed back? Sorry. If you don’t care about a genocide, I don’t care about you.

Whilst Thames Water customers face rip-off price hikes, the company is being fined for paying out unjustified dividends to shareholders. Privatisation is a scam. The government should bring all water, mail, energy and rail back into public ownership.
