They’re Lying to You About the ‘Defence’ Budget
Owen Jones debunks the case for spending more money on defence: The UK wastes money on the most overseas-oriented military in Europe, making it more likely to start wars abroad and less safe at home.

If LeBron or Taylor Swift posted this most recent El Niño historical temperature graph (current one in red) 500 million people would be in the streets. (And a hundred million lives would likely be saved in the next 20 months) #ClimateCrisis

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Kemi Badenoch: not for turning, on anything, ever. thecritic.co.uk/welc...
“There is nothing that has happened that has made me change my mind,” Badenoch told Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday morning. It was the all-purpose Kemi answer, along with another one she gave later on: “I fundamentally disagree with David Gauke’s approach.”

The Conservative leader was explaining that when she sweeps to power, she’ll make sure that “people who work harder don’t get punished for doing so.” Badenoch’s belief that people currently get punished for hard work explains a lot about her approach to her job. Kuenssberg spent some time pressing her for the number of people who would be affected by the welfare cuts that Badenoch argues are going to pay for everything. “And that’s a number that I’m sure that we can send to you,” the Tory leader replied, unembarrassed. Could Badenoch’s office in fact send over that number? See if you can guess.

The press have decided to reimpose the two party model and unfortunately, that requires “pretending to believe Kemi Badenoch is doing a good job”. Which is pretty bad, given she’s a disastrously online wacko.

Bevan Had a Movement. Burnham Has Donors.
An NHS-style social care system is the right idea, but a Labour Party captured by private healthcare interests has no one to fight for it.
