Increasingly the world is online - banking, shopping apps, govt form filling, utility correspondence and for oh so much more. On International Day for Older Persons we reflect on the challenges faced dealing with an online world.

Stay young – the online world isn’t designed for the old
Technology should empower, not exclude. For many, ageing means lost independence in a digital online world built without them in mind

The one thing history isnt is "set in stone". As to 1970s - whose history? The % of GDP that was wages was higher in the 70s than the next decades - in other words much of population did quite OK in the 70s compared to say shareholders. Helps explain why my dad could buy a house on a single wage.

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

Avanti West Coast picked up tens of millions of pounds in subsidies every year while charging passengers the most expensive mile-per-mile fares in Europe. Public ownership is essential to end this egregious example of rip-off capitalism.

So why don't politicians who argue that Britain can't afford benefits advocate putting up the minimum wage to the point where universal credit no longer has to subsidise low-wage employers?

Britain's economy is being held back by low wages, underinvestment, rip-off pricing, the housing crisis, lack of affordable childcare and an NHS on the point of collapse. Not because there isn't a third runway at Heathrow.

Why are Russia banned from playing football by authorities but Israel are not? Both stand accused of an illegal war and atrocities, Israel of a genocide. The response to Russia was swift. Are these double standards? Is it a level playing field?

Two things: 1. If you're still in labour at this point you are not on the left of anything 2. If you expected Burnham to actually move the party left you are politically illiterate. He made very clear his principles during his leadership bid in the byelection.

Liz Truss just claimed on live radio that 'the Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair'. She must surely rank as the most economically illiterate person ever to have held a ministerial position at the Treasury, and her time as prime minister underlined that fact.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

How I feel right now about the British/ 🇬🇧English( whatever) political landscape is that some one wrapped in a Union Jack could whack me over the head with a flag pole & the BBC would shove a microphone in my face asking why I provoked the attacker & the Home Sec would invite the attacker for tea .

Socialism is good. It’s about ensuring everyone in society, the community, has a chance to can be fed, educated, paidcworknsufficientbto live, health care when required. For that we pay taxes. Those with more, pay more! This is what Hollywood told us was the ‘American Dream’ Clearly they Lied!

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.
