VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

👩‍⚕️👨‍🚒🤵 Doctors, firefighters, even the super-rich themselves can see it… so why can’t Rachel Reeves?

It’s time to tax the super‑rich & invest in our collective future.

Yesterday, we delivered over 700,000 signatures demanding that the govt delivers #TaxJustice at the budget.

Google doesn't listen to everything you do.

In my new novel I mention a bus terminal in Ohio. I haven't published it. It's just in a Word document on my PC.

Now Google is asking me to review the bus terminal, because it thinks I visited it.

This weeks post: Blue Labour’s Electoral Fallacies mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/11/blue...
If a Labour government sounds and acts like a slightly milder version of a Reform government, this is going to put off nearly all Labour voters, including those in Labour marginal seats.

Labour’s Reform-chasing asylum policy outburst will see the Party lose thousands of members and millions of voters who know we need to stand for compassion and control.

These reforms are just a further step on a slippery slope that will never appease the hard right.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children.

Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power.

This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.
