The media is so scared of Israel they print their lies first and the evidence second

The Telegraph is upset that calling Imane Khelif a man, and “false claims about migrant entitlements”, is classed as misinformation. It is also upset that “content associating minority communities with crime” is “driven by racism” Not exactly 1984 here, guys

If you want an idea about why it’s so hard to make things better, all the commenters on this article are saying we should scrap electric buses and that Net Zero is a scam

Zack Polanski says that vegetables for 7p is a sign of a broken system. Farmers say that there’s a “race to the bottom on price” and Tesco is effectively “giving away” produce. But look at the difference in the headline! Look at the number of comments! The media really thinks you’re stupid.

New from me: Farage and others are using the grammar of police reform and systemic oppression to push a race war. But they’ll never fix the problems the police have - they’re too useful to lose if they get into power. wealthofnotions.substack.com/p/conservati...

Conservatives are so ready to import American-style discourse in the country that they’re going to ignore decades of data about racism in this country. They’re doing this so you don’t turn on *them*, the people who have been running the show. No war except class war.

They’re going to constantly burn enough gas to power London for about five months so you can have more slop. There might not be any strawberries and bananas left on a dead planet, but that’s okay as long as we get short-form videos of fruits c*cking each other

With the oncoming leadership battle, the question isn't just who will lead Labour but whether the party has any vision left to offer The landscape is shifting to people with an actual narrative to offer, even if the voters don't actually agree with it wealthofnotions.substack.com/p/what-has-l...

What do Reform voters actually want? Immigration is their biggest complaint. But looking at some of the other data suggests something more interesting. Because these people are protest-voting, and there is a lot of shared ground with the left. wealthofnotions.substack.com/p/what-do-re...

What do Reform voters actually want? - by Adam Smith
Immigration might be the headline policy of the apparent incoming government, but actually talking to 'right wing' voters reveals a secret, socialist agenda.

Nothing but congratulations to Lewisham’s newest Green councillor @annabelleroberts.bsky.social! One of the hardest working people that I know, and an absolute dream gain for the area. Was a pleasure to door knock for her, would do it all again tomorrow if she asked.

People are using AI because it promises control over their own lives. But the more you hand over to it, the more it starts making decisions for you — and those decisions aren't really yours. New essay. wealthofnotions.substack.com/p/inside-the...

The Telegraph having an extremely normal one. They’re complaining that they’ll have to spend £40 more on something that will save them money in the long-run, so less damage to clothes over time, and cut carbon emissions. Honestly, get a grip.

Gangs are buying video game items to gain kids’ trust and then blackmailing and grooming them to sell drugs or perform sex acts. I remember when games weren’t full of items to sell or lootboxes to gamble with. Wish we could go back to that. Kids need spaces to just be kids, not to be consumers.

Years of right-wing governments have literally stolen years of good health from your life. Men’s life expectancy is now 60 years, down from 63. Women’s is also 60, down from 64. We need to change. It’s literally life or death.

The Indian medical student who used AI to make a hot girl MAGA influencer is the canary in the coal mine. These influencers “solve” a lot of social problems - validation, identity, intimacy. We’re going to get more of them, and the UK is at risk. wealthofnotions.substack.com/p/the-girl-w...

“People have asked me why I don’t just drop the price again, but I refuse to give my home away cheaply just because of the ridiculous economic climate we’re in.” Struggling young people should just do more work, but older people shouldn’t be forced to lose a lick of profit in this inflated market
