Western Europe is at the end of a 40 year experiment – with Easten Europe having joined it around 35 years ago. The experiment was to see what "trickle-down" neoliberalism delivered. We can say for sure now that it delivered: 🔻Greater inequality 🔻Stagnant growth 🔻Poorer services 🔻Reduced investment

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

On Labour's membership card it says they're a "socialist party". If Socialism means anything, it's surely about pooling costs/risks so we can achieve shared social goods. Does the Chancellor believe its unfair for people without children to pay towards schools, SEN provision, or breakfast clubs?

Weird listening to Nick Robinson interrogating Zarah Sultana on Political Thinking given his tag line: “not for a news-y interrogation, but for an extended and relaxed conversation”. When he chats to conservatives, that’s very much what it is. I’m glad he is grilling her but where’s the consistency?

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.
