On a personal level, I feel sorry for Eluned Morgan. It was a big deal that she was the first woman to be First Minister. Say what you want about her, but to suggest the Labour result is just down to her is wrong.

Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave. Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers. Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse. Life commodified & financialised. Profits for the few, misery for many.

You know what’s not fair, Bridget? Telling parents managing the additional burdens of raising a special-needs child that they have rights to support, guaranteed by law, and then overseeing a system so deprived of both resources and common humanity that those parents have to sue for those rights.

Shabana Mahmood said it out loud - a panopticon system of surveillance. Capitalists have no interest in fixing the problems they've created (eg climate crisis); instead they want to crack down on dissent. The aim is kompromat on us all and 'pre-crime' internment. Dystopian levels of autoritarianism.

The rot runs right through this Labour government. Starmer made Mandelson ambassador to the US despite knowing of his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He must go. Streeting must cancel the NHS contract with Palantir which has Mandelson's hands all over it.
