When Jeremy Hunt made two populist 2% cuts in NI in 6 months - that we now know to have been completely unsustainable & uncosted - where was the right wing media pearl clutching or the constant BBC questions about "how are you paying for this"? The media in the UK is a right wing stitch up.

If Starmer/Reeves or Burnham/Healey had been in charge in 1945, there'd have been no NHS, and no massive housebuilding programme. It's not "Fiscal discipline" to stick to a bunch of made up neoliberal rules, ostensibly designed by a Chancellor whose programme was built on an error in a spreadsheet.

It was totally unsurprising how frequently she interrupted Burnham, while allowing Philp to spout his evidence free bollocks - eg. he said we're a high tax economy when virtually the entire continent of Europe has a higher tax wedge than us - and yet not even the slightest challenge. #BBCLauraK

Laura keeps banging on about all these economists calling for cuts. Plenty of economists fully understand the benefits of government stimulus and also appreciate how the economy was skewered by Tory austerity - which is why so many opposed it. #BBCLauraK

I can't understand Labour already managing to get rid of hereditary peers, but not deal with huge donations. While I hate hereditary privilege, those 80 odd peers were far less of a risk than allowing a bunch of cryptocriminals to buy democracy itself. And nobody can say they didn't see it coming.

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is where the hate fuelled disinformation of the right wing always ends up. A quarter of a century ago, Murdoch's News of the World stirred up so much disproportionate news & outrage at paedophiles that a PAEDIATRICIAN's house was attacked, among other cases. This follow's the same M.O.

Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I asked Google if Rome was a genuine republic, it said it absolutely was. When I said it was spouting nonsense and that Rome was an oligarchy, it replied "while it had the formal institutions of a republic, it functioned as an oligarchy controlled by a small circle of wealthy elites." AI is shite

Exponential growth catches people by surprise because it's hard to visualise. Imagine a £1 salary, doubling every year. 5 years from now, you're earning £32. 5 years after that, you're up to £1,024. So £982 (97%) of the improvement in salary came in the second 5 year stretch.
