Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Never underestimate the vengeful nihilism at the heart of this movement. The glitter-eyed fanatics behind Project 2025 and other such programmes will smash whatever is most precious to you, partly at the behest of commercial interests – but also to enjoy watching the pain it inflicts. They will crush beauty, joy, community and hope precisely because other people value them.

Shocked to find out yesterday that after a long fight by union members, Sainsbury’s has only just agreed that all their employees can be paid a living wage. This is when economists are saying supermarkets are the only retail outlets that are doing well financially.

Supermarkets are a huge problem. They force farmers to sell to them at rock bottom prices, while hiking up prices for all us at the other end to astronomical levels. While supermarket profits soar, you know we’re just being pitched against one another by the rich again #r4today

And meanwhile, of course, their staff are low paid, and so the taxpayer pays again, needing to support those workers many of whom will be among those receiving state support. And they’re the ones demonised again. When did we fall for this divide & rule feudalism. #r4today

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 08/01/2025
It's now up to the Speaker if this change is selected for a vote.
A little insight into the hypocrisy of the Conservatives and Reform UK.

They want a national inquiry into child grooming gangs. To do it, they've suggested a change to the government's Child Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

The rules say if a change is made at this stage, the whole Bill is dead.

That means no inquiry - but also no breakfast clubs. No making school uniforms cheaper. No keeping better tabs on children who fall out the system (vital after Sara Sharif).

But if there is a vote, Labour MPs will have to vote against an inquiry to save the Bill.

And you just know the right will milk that “Labour voted against an inquiry into child grooming gangs” angle for all it’s worth.

The politicisation of this issue has to stop. It is disgustingly cynical. 

It will end up harming children.

Musk’s X is intensifying the radicalisation of the UK right. They loudly, uncritically support Trump. Johnson compares Labour with Harold Shipman. Jenrick rushes to use the Magdeburg tragedy for political ends. They’re Musk’s useful idiots: envoys of hatred and intolerance. Incapable of integrity.
