I agree, there are strong 'end of empire' vibes coming from the US, as they prosecute an expensive, failed war overseas whilst living standards go down, prices go up, civil servants go unpaid, infrastructure crumbles & open corruption thrives along with religious fanaticism at home. Hubris.

Labour MP and Justice Minister, Sarah Sackman. Just look at those donors. 💰🥀 labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/t...
– Sarah Sackman is a KC and former barrister. She is the Minister of State in the Ministry of Justice.

– She voted to keep the two-child benefit cap.
– Did not sign the 2025 motion to introduce an annual wealth tax.
– She voted in favour of the cuts to disability benefits (1.7.25), described as a “sham of a bill“, and which despite concessions, is still a £2bn cut to UC affecting 750k new claimants.
– Sackman is one of three Labour MPs who wrote a letter objecting to David Lammy’s partial suspension of arms sales to Israel in September 2024. The letter did not object because the embargo was a partial one – it was an objection to any arms embargo at all.

Anniversary of a confession in the clear: The networked evil that brought us Farage’s, Putin pleasing, Brexit. Here is the missing clip in which Farage confirms that Brexit would not have been possible without Bannon, Breitbart and by implication Cambridge Analyitica’s “help.”
