The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?

There seems, in UK politics, to be a far greater willingness to adjust ‘speed’ (eg: ‘we need to go further and faster’, or, conversely, ‘the lesson is that we went too far too fast’); than to think about whether we are heading in the right, or the best, direction.

Tax the super-rich? Unthinkable. Cut disability support? Sensible.

A 2% wealth tax could raise £24bn, yet we're cutting disability benefits instead. Who are we protecting?
