We’ve seen that American capitalism is one of the harshest forms of capitalism on the planet. How did it get so bad?

I'm not running to bow to a corporation. I'm not running to raise your utility rates or help them do it. I'm not running so that your premium goes up and everybody looks the other way. I'm running to fight for you.

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.

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

The “jaw-dropping” El Niño currently heating up the planet has burst through the highest temperature ever recorded for the phenomenon, several months before its expected peak.
A line chart showing temperature anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region of the Pacific Ocean, compared to a 30-year rolling base period since 1982.

A gold line shows temperatures in 1997, a teal line in 2025, and a red line in 2026. The red line surpasses all others reaching 3.07ºC, and at an earlier point (September) than the previous El Niño that reached a comparable range in November 2015.

Privatisation means our water only serves shareholders, while we get hosepipe bans, sewage and higher bills Stephen Fry sent this message to Keir Starmer and Steve Reed in February 2025. They failed to listen Andy Burnham needs to listen because more than 8 in 10 of us agree with Stephen Fry
Graphic of a quote by Stephen Fry: "“The Prime Minister and Environment Secretary should step in, stop the crisis at Thames Water by taking it into special administration and then bring it into permanent public ownership so it works for all of us... It's a scary moment, but it doesn't have to be. It could open the door to sorting out the sewage crisis once and for all.”"
