The received wisdom is that Andy Burnham cannot do very much radical because of the UK's dire fiscal and economic position. I strongly disagree. I explain why in a piece with Neal Lawson in Labour List, drawing on my Compass report Ending Business as Usual. labourlist.org/2026/09/andy...

"Bond markets won't allow it." False. The UK government sets its own interest rates through the central bank. Markets cannot force a currency issuer to cut spending or raise taxes. This is the bond vigilante myth; and it shapes policy anyway. Build your rebuttal at Argument Builder. #MMT #Economics

Apparently the nation is bankrupt and we can't afford to fund pensioners heating bills this winter. Once again we're being asked to bare the brunt of the Rich Man's games, but will they ever be taxed like the rest of us? Andy Burnham, with a sad smile, says 'No' "There's simply no money" says […]

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... Zionism is and always has been a deeply contested term, with a multiplicity of shifting meanings. The same is true of Judaism- and a fortiori if and how the two are linked. So too with the concept of racism. Is Zionism racism doesn’t lend itself to a yes/no answer

What is Zionism and why do some critics describe it as racist?

Green party debate over the motion ‘Zionism is racism’ comes amid renewed arguments over the meaning and history of a contested term

A great example of two quite stupid but dangerous people with huge platforms. Carlson’s questions come from a place of mind blowing historical ignorance and the less said about Rees (send the working classes to war) Mogg the better.

If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants. But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis. #bbcqt

This is frustrating nonsense. The majority of Jewish greens are anti Zionists. They might not all support the motion but they certainly don’t think it’s stopping them saying Kaddish. Total nonsense www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I too will be saying Kaddish in memory of my father in a few weeks time. Yet I have severe misgivings about this article. Freedland correctly suggests many, maybe most people, non Jews and Jews, have simplistic notions about Judaism and Zionism. But so does he.

50 years of real GDP growing significantly faster than US real median wages. No wonder there is phrase "It's your GDP, not ours"

One of two Labour gains from Reform in Northumberland by-elections yesterday. Too early to know for sure we've passed peak Reform, but another encouraging sign.

I've largely disengaged from UK politics, because it's like watching a bunch of clowns do gymnastics to avoid the increasingly unavoidable notion of wealth taxes/abandoning neoliberalism.
