Important analysis by Jonathan Cook: 'It’s extremely difficult for leftwing politicians to advance through the discourse policing of a state and billionaire-owned media whose very job is to prevent the political left from gaining exposure for its ideas...' substack.com/home/post/p-...

How the BBC sets a trap to make sure leftwing politicians never get a fair hearing
There’s a reason why so few truly leftwing politicians are visible in public life. Because the media’s role is to weed them out, discredit them, place them beyond the pale

What drives political polarisation?
Politics are increasingly polarised. Support for the political centre is ebbing away and flowing towards the parties of the far right and the far left.

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?
Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it
