Bank of England (BOE) governor says soaring energy prices could trigger interest rate rise. BOE will deplete business/household incomes by hiking costs. Force people to hand wealth to banks, boost their profits How about curbing profiteering, supply-chain problems, taxing those with surplus cash?

The Bank has predicted that inflation will increase to around 3.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of this year and 4.2 per cent in the first quarter of 2027.

It’s now becoming unclear which regime did most harm to the U.K.- Thatcher’s or Blair’s? Between them they laid a path of neoliberalism, authoritarianism and corruption for idiots like Cameron, Johnson, Starmer etc to run down creating mayhem: Brexit, inequality, Reform, redefining terrorism etc

46% of UK households don't see benefit of economic growth. Regions outside London and the South East miss out. Regional inequalities rising. Need even economic development. 1% of the population has more wealth than the 70% combined. Can't secure sustained economic growth without redistribution.

Almost half of households do not see benefits of economic growth, report says

Analysis has found a "stark" gap in the spending power of households in the north and south of England on average.

Thank you to the Bluesky community who have carefully read & engaged with this piece. I’d also urge you to listen to the Professor Simon Baron-Cohen interview that I embedded. I can only include last 3 mins here but he gives precise chronology..including how he was cleared of plagiarism

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

So ok I don’t watch main stream media anymore but perhaps someone can tell. The last time I looked both Reform and the Tories were adamantly anti net zero. Are they being questioned about this fiddling as the world burns? #ukpolitics

Farage wanted this by-election to draw a line under the controversy. Instead, the stench of sleaze is sticking to him and Reform UK. Recent political history tells us that once a party gains that reputation, it can be extremely difficult to shake.

UK Govt contracts to require job creation instead of green targets under new rules. Why does it have to be either, or? Job creation should not be a trade-off with protecting the environment Govt appeasing corporations whilst planet burns, crops fail, food prices rocket.
