With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

In 2022, when Seb Vettel was racing for Aston Martin’s #F1 team & I was its PR chief, I arranged for him to appear on the BBC’s #QuestionTime (pic). Suella Braverman was a fellow panellist. I spoke to her then & I thought her remarkably stupid. On last night’s show I thought her appallingly racist.

In the 80s Black and Asian people wanted representation; we got Suella Braverman, Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch et al doing white nationalist disaster capitalism while playing the “I can’t be racist” card while anyone doing the work of anti-racism gets marginalised or hounded out of public life.

Dear Suella Braverman, Here are the criteria the Nazis used for people to be considered "German". You are now using similar fascist criteria to define those who can be considered "English".

Starmers government massively underestimated public revulsion at the genocide and UK's complicity in it. Burnhams government could overturn the decision to Proscribe Palestine Action today if it so chose. But will it?

My opinion: the proscription of Palestine Action was done almost entirely for political reasons, to sound tough on the issue, without really thinking the consequences through. Another example of Labour thinking like an opposition, not like a government.

Why is it when Labour restricts government spending on the NHS or nationalising utilities it is because we must not destabilise the Bond Market But when we obey NATO directives to increase military spending to 3.5% of GDP & then 5%, the Bond Market is never mentioned?
