A very strange UK politics where it seems the two traditional parties are targeting the same ~20% of the population and nobody very much cares about the remaining 80%.

Looks like Rachel Reeves has conveniently forgotten that Brexit brought about the need to duplicate many roles that EU bodies used to do on behalf of the UK? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This is what the right wing politicians want, a poorly educated population that they can radicalise to their own purposes. The outcome is an oligarchy with dictatorial tendencies, the exploitation of the masses to enhance the wealth of the minority. Democracy is a casualty of these ideologies.

I think that the EU need to put in place a mechanism that could be used to boot problematic members out. They have a pipeline of countries desperate to join. They don't need the aggravation of rabble-rousers like Hungary. The mere existence of such a mechanism might have a stabilisation effect.

"Taxing the rich" certainly wouldn't solve the UK's economic woes by itself, and it's foolish to tout the idea as a silver bullet that could magic all our problems away. But by golly it would at the very least make the pain everyone else has to endure feel a bit more tolerable.

We need to boost defence spending from 2.5% to 3% of GDP. One way of paying for it would be to claw back (most of) the 4% of GDP we lost to Brexit. It would of course pay for a swathe of other things too. Goodbye all that Austerity 2.0 nonsense. But getting started MUST be the first step.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.
