Next week the Labour (yes, Labour) Government are expected to announce even deeper cuts to public services than first thought.
Labour cuts, Tory cuts, it's always the rest of us who pay the price.
The Green Party would tax the rich properly to help close the inequality gap.

I will point out the obvious, the Conservative Party exists to protect the rich, the Labour Party is supposed to exist to stop the rich.
After 14 years of Conservatives the Labour Party should be taxing the hell out of the rich.

US Supreme Court DENIES President Trump's emergency bid to cancel nearly $2 billion in USAID spending.
The vote is 5-4, with John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett on the right side of history in this one case.

Many referring to Trump & Vance as alpha males…
You sure?
The need to appear tough/aggressive in order to feel dominant/feared is a blatant indication of a little boy who never got over his childhood trauma
We need a rethink of the term ‘alpha male’
…because to me it means damaged & fragile AF.

If you answer yes, then I think Trump and the MAGA movement is stupid. Matters of geopolitics should not be affected by issues of fashion.
If you answered no, then I think we agree that this is just a pretense. Trump's position on Ukraine is not about clothes. And MAGA follows whatever Trump says.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.
