A new Cold war driven by European States that have abandoned social democracy for neoliberal economics & look for growth through military Keynesianism Economic growth through increased military spending can only be justified if there is an "enemy at the gate"

The destruction of Gaza is the destruction of the whole world. The Israeli government, with the eager assistance of the United States, is laying the groundwork for for how we respond to genocide and atrocities in the 21st century.

Poorest of pensioners will be part funding Care Fees when this could have been part funded by ending higher rate pension tax relief? Silence from the corporate media & MPs - the vast majority of which will be benefitting from higher rate pension relief

Joy at news that poorest of pensioners will be subsidising Care funding and that she will not lose her higher rate pension tax relief?

Fed up of having to say this Britain still spends significantly less on pensions than other major European countries such as Germany, France and Spain, and about two million pensioners languish in poverty.

Supreme Ct clears way for Milei to scrap limits on foreign land purchases
Opposition parties condemn the ruling, question its scope and warn that it leaves the door open to unrestricted foreign ownership of rural land.

Burnham's strategy was to turn workers against pensioners whilst forcing the poorest pensioners to fund a care facility they will not benefit from Not my idea of progressive politics

Lisa Nandy has warned technology firms that the government’s online safety crackdown is not finished, saying that banning under-16s from social media platforms is only a “staging post”. State surveillance of its electorate is on its way?

Labours abandonment of the Triple Lock will again hit the poorest hardest Their pension income increases will be reduced to pay for Care Reforms. But the poorest, unless they have over £14250 in savings pay nothing for care in any event So they pay for a new benefit that will not apply to them

Deloitte paid its UK-based partners £1.125m. Firm has 784 equity partners. Due to self-employed status of partners, employer national insurance (ENI) is not paid on profits shared. 150,000 ENI avoided on every £1m of profits shared. Billions lost across the country. Must end this privilege.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.
