Camilla's gushing tribute to Jeffrey Archer is very ill judged. Archer had more than flaws, he destroyed a vulnerable woman's life without hesitation.

The sight of an ex PM, Tony Blair, accepting another well paid gig is pretty sick making. Blair should learn from Gordon Brown about using his platform for doing good. Accumulating even more wealth like a pig looking for truffles is not a good look.

A shame that the morning lectionary deprives us of the many delightful stories of the prophet Elisha including his feeding of 100 men and punishing naughty children who mocked his baldness by getting bears to maul them (it’s all right - it’s a folk tale…).

The Tories have had over two years to come up with a broad set of new policies and they've reverted to their same old mean spirited small minded ones they have had for decades. More austerity and the type of deregulation that led to Grenfell.

“Destroyed a ULEZ camera” is an interesting way to describe detonating a homemade bomb in a residential street, sending shrapnel into homes and cars, and being convicted of causing an explosion likely to endanger life. Still, “camera” does make the fifteen years sound terribly unreasonable.

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

Unlike Simon Clarke, I was alive during the 1970s. A combination of low inequality, low crime and aspects of culture made 1976 one of the happiest years on record in the UK. The IMF bailout had zero impact. Lesson for Simon, happiness is not just a function of wealth.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
