At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

Corporate profits just hit a record 13.2% of GDP. Wages simultaneously fell to a record-low 41.1%. This is the political economy of modern capitalism: record profits, a shrinking share for workers, and corporations spending billions on political donations and lobbying to maintain the status quo.

It hasn’t taken the Chancellor long to sound the retreat on the hope the country needs. We are gripped by a cost of living crisis and need action now. Lower bills, wealth taxes and an end to the great water rip off. Thames Water into public ownership now. No more excuses

John Healey has said "public control" doesn't mean "public ownership". It means "exerting public influence", "fair bills", "better services", "investment", an "active state" and "better regulation". The old adage: "you don't control what you don't own" has never been more apposite

Compare and contrast. Andy Burnham says Russia has committed war crimes in Ukraine. But when it comes to Gaza, he only says war crimes appear to have been committed, and he doesn't name by who. He also says its up to the courts to determine, not politicians.
