In politics as in everyday life, sometimes things have to get really bad before they get better. I just hope I live long enough to see the 'better'. (It's not looking promising!)

Labour’s plan for compulsory digital ID risks creating a more authoritarian state.
Under constant surveillance, we would have to pass through digital checkpoints just to live our daily lives — with even more barriers for minorities, migrants and the digitally excluded.

Since the pandemic electricity generation companies hiked profit margins by 198%.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Why the reshuffle alone won’t change the UK govt’s fortunes.
It needs to junk neoliberal policies, never-ending austerity; directly invest in infrastructure and redistribute income and wealth.
Must improve purchasing power of the bottom 50% to energize economy.
