“The rich get richer because political leaders protect that growth – often in service of their own ambitions. A Britain governed in the public interest must not defer to a plutocratic class. There needs to be a break with the current model” Sounds like a plan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"What happened in 1933-45 should have been opposed in 1928. After that it was too late. You can't wait until the struggle for freedom becomes a treasonable act. You mustn't wait until the snowball becomes an avalanche." Erich Kästner, German author and poet, 25th anniversary of German book burnings.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Reform UK’s policies add up to an agenda of fiscal recklessness that rivals, and may well exceed, the disastrous 49-day, hair-raising, market-tanking premiership of Liz Truss in 2022 econ.st/42WSuLG

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

DATA CORPS

Episode MMXXIV
AUDITS ASCENDENT

Democracy is in peril! A shadow of uncertainty has fallen across the galaxy. With each day, citizens of the GALACTIC REPUBLIC become more alarmed by the NEW REGIME'S actions to undermine galactic election security. 

Political institutions and intergalactic media conglomerates have bent the knee. Doubts about the integrity of the last election have been relegated to whispers. 

The emergence of a ragtag band of data-driven rebels, the ELECTION TRUTH ALLIANCE, has made those whispers become a rallying cry.  Through reports and broadcasts, the ETA seeks not just to verify past votes — but also to protect  and defend galactic election integrity going forward. 

As word of the ETA's work spreads, the demand for election audits grows — including on a small but strategically significant planet known as Penn Syl Van'ia...

Are you in despair about Reform UK? This project from our friends at Ripples and Tactical Vote has raised £4,000. They said they're blown away and will not only 'fact check' Reform politicians, they're going to monitor what Reform does in all 10 of the councils it now runs. Check it out:

For an extra burst dopamine from my photo below look for the 6-petalled forget me not. If you have f-m-n in your garden look closely at the centres of the flowers. If they’re yellow they contain nectar,but when they’ve been pollinated they fade to white-tiny bees know which flowers have a snack in 🐝

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."
