Shock: a cabinet minster with some morality International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds resigns over the PM's cuts to the aid budget saying the cuts in order to fund defence spending, would "remove food and healthcare from desperate people - deeply harming the UK's reputation" is.gd/AdW2dV

UK Govt invites public to have a say on water sector future. Another impression management exercise. Govt has ruled out public ownership, worker/customer elected directors, worker/customer vote on exec pay. Won't prevent dividends, inflation-busting customer bill hike, sewage dumping.

Annaliese Dodds has made a principled decision to step down from her role following Starmer's move to cut foreign aid to fund defence spending. Like her, I believe withdrawing from humanitarian commitments is both cruel, counterproductive, and short-sighted.

Dividend ban on England water firms unlikely, Government appointed water commission hints. In public ownership, dividends are not paid. Profits are ploughed into infrastructure investment. That isn't on the govt agenda. Commission created to mobilise support for govt. Won't work. archive.ph/A4MF7

We were there. We saw how the police, unprovoked, fired CS canisters at protesters. The riots followed. A panic-stricken gvt clearly tried its best to mar the magnificent peaceful demonstrations with violence. They failed. Contempt is their just dessert. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This is all a bit reminiscent of the Iraq War and the dodgy dossier, isn't it, with the whole free world knowing the United States is in the wrong, but Britain laundering its wrongdoing?

Your regular reminder that "trickle down economics" is a term invented by David Stockman of Regan's administration to excuse neoliberal supply-side economic policies. It was borrowed from a comedian, and David later had to apologise for using it. It means nothing and is not serious economics.

The fury is from people seeking to maintain the status quo. The status quo is genocide. And the 'fury' is the last cling to maintaining that. We stand with Gary - and everyone calling to hold those responsible for war crimes to account.

The irony is that however much we spend on defense, we let the real enemy in the front door. Billionaires, oligarchs and tech bros are the biggest threat to our freedom, our democracy and our well-being. Billionaires are the cause of poverty.

Utterly shameful - a sickening betrayal of some of the poorest people. And counterproductive too - as if global security isn’t also dependent on efforts to tackle the climate crisis, global poverty, inequality, and humanitarian needs.

Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents. Profiteering, high debt, substandard service, tax dodges are private equity norm. Let councils, not-for-profit organizations build homes. Don't deregulate. Build homes, not slums.

The UK can still do these things - public investment especially for those who need it most; have a fair and humane immigration process and make a good case for it; integrate with Europe. And stand up to fascists. I hope they will.
