Supermarkets put most small butchers, greengrocers, bakers, fishmongers and doorstep milk deliverers out of business. Now almost all meat, veg, bread, fish and milk comes in plastic. Whereas before it came in paper and glass.

It's been 9 years since Grenfell, the CPS have just been asked to consider Manslaughter charges. The killers should already be in jail, they should have been years ago. YOU would have been.

Within hours of the Fairford arrests we had terrorism, Iran, foreign agents and politicians talking about “big damage.” Days later: No explosive device. All five suspects bailed. One suspect reportedly called 999 himself. We still don't know what happened. Which is rather the fucking point.

The massive loss of tax revenue caused by the Brexit disaster ultimately puts pressure on all areas of Govt spending, yet the extremists on the Right will cut welfare spending ahead of facing up to that reality (even as they now pledge to protect the triple lock).

If Burnham's speech was a move in the right direction, he would have the same enemies as Corbyn. He doesn't - indeed many of those who set up the coup against Corbyn's socialist Labour shadow cabinet are supporters of Burnham.

Social Care is affordable in the UK. Just not Privatised Social Care. Currently a Social Care Worker is paid £12.60 an hour. The Council is charged £33.20 an hour. A huge amount of this is profit which goes completely untaxed. As you can see this will NEVER be affordable.

Burnham could change tax relief on pension contributions for his projects. Gross tax relief in 2024-2025 was £83.9bn. 71% went to 7.7m additional & higher rate taxpayers. 29% to 30.4m basic rate taxpayers. Giving relief to all at 20% leaves £14.5bn spare for social care. But equality/equity?

Our planet is heating faster than at any time in the geological record. That's terrifying. But here's the hopeful part: most of us are worried and want action — we just stay silent, assuming no one else cares. 7 in 10 people rarely or never talk about it. So the silence feeds itself

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.
