I found this thread by George Monbiot, as well as his article quoted, well worth a read. It gets to the heart of the problem of politics in the U.K. at the moment, and some pretty straightforward solutions staring our leaders in the face.
It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer.

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot
Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Watching every Tory/Reformite now toadying up to Trump.
Their grim sycophancy ties them to all Trump’s acts of degeneracy, to his cruelty, personal greed and ruinous prejudice.
It exposes their disloyalty to us and their readiness to undermine our country and our democracy.
Keep the receipts.

I hate it when people say "we all have to tighten our belts" in defence of Labour.
a) We hated austerity under Tories.
b) Why do we have to tighten our belts? It literally means "eat less" and I don't want to eat less, cheers!
c) Why do the mega-rich never get asked to tighten their poxy belts!?

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.
