Is it millionaire medical insurance executives and millions of Americans in medical bankruptcy? Oh no - my mistake that is your capitalism!

"Dear Diary, There were six by-elections in England and Scotland this week and Reform lost all of them. Two of them were seats we previously held. The problem with running councils is that people can see how useless we are."

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!

The courage of those who set out to save those at risk of drowning can never be overestimated. Each rescue is a challenge. I used to watch the Orkney lifeboat head out into rough seas with my heart in my mouth. Remarkable courage. Donate to the #RNLI here: shop.rnli.org/products/don...

An occasional reminder of the type of people, that used to be cabinet ministers. Next we will have Kwasi Kwarteng criticising some economic policy and Boris Johnson talking about the importance of manifesto promises. Not just uninformed but so pompous and arrogant.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Companies consider what they do with profits after tax. They can then invest in R&D, re-tooling, training, wages etc. Which can improve products and productivity. Most listed companies use the profits for dividends and share buy-backs - and Exec salaries and bonuses. Late Stage Capitalism

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Here is a fact check : Nigel Farage: Sits at the bottom of the favorability list among union members. The raw percentage data used in a widely shared Reform UK graphic on social media listed his favourability score at 28%, though his overall net score within this demographic is deeply negative.

Leaving the ECHR, will weaken protections for all in society. That’s the end goal. Then they will usher in freeports, SEZ’s, data centres, zero hours contracts, no employment protections, state surveillance. All in the name of protecting us. When we already have protections…

Reform's plan: sack 450 planning officers to make planning more efficient. Small problem: there are only 445 planning officers in the whole country. So they're going to employ 5 more, just to sack them? Or maybe they're just idiots. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
