Speechless.
In this administration, the people take a backseat to corporations.

Nakedly and unabashedly oligarchic. Congress is a coequal branch of government and it’s time it acts like it.

Our PM wishing us all a Happy Christmas.

Nicely pointing out the values that any TRUE Christian would recognise (hint: not you Reform nor Little Tommy).

And reminding us of those who will continue to work over this season to keep up safe.

Sorry for my lack of engagement recently - I was in bed with the superflu for two weeks!

I wanted to pose a question, and I’m looking for honest answers. How close are we to WW3? It looks like both Russia and NATO are upping the rhetoric.

Today's UK budget could have delivered for people and planet by taking on the rich and powerful.

But that's not what it did. 👇

The Scottish Greens want to leave the UK
The UK has more than enough money to fund our public services and rebuild our infrastructure. But it's hoarded by a tiny minority.

The 50 richest families now hold more wealth than 50% of the population combined.

A tax on the wealth of the top 1% would raise over £70 billion.

Reeves states she is introducing the high value council tax surcharge in England, an annual £2,500 charge for properties worth more than £2m, rising to £7,500 for properties worth more than £5m.

Taxing wealth!

I’m very impressed by Rachel Reeves today. She’s managed a very difficult job - hope she’s getting a dram or two of whisky now. Well done!
Initial reaction on the budget:

Maintains investment & public spending as set out in the spending review.

More investment in some areas.

Help for those on lower incomes, with the cost of living and pensioners.

Tax increases on those who can afford it.

Overall: great stuff!

So the Covid inquiry finds that whilst Johnson was dodging his responsibilities writing a book and prancing around the place, if he had locked down one week earlier 23,000 people who are now dead would be alive.

The evidence clear as day

Employment Rights Bill

It was back in the Lords again yesterday.

And again the Tories and Lib Dems voted to weaken the bill in 5 areas:

1. Weaking rules banning zero-hours contracts

2. Removing day 1 protection from unfair dismissal

3. Disagreement over a definition of seasonal work

I don’t know. I think if the polls stay the same there could be Caerphilly type elections all over where one progressive party is rallied behind. Reform are proving to be popular but they are the most hated too. With boring old FPTP voters can choose their local MP.
as the fragmentation of the vote continues, and the Tories look more and more irrelevant every day... if we had an election today, there's a very good chance we'd have a #Reform landslide.

certainly not anti Greens, but Reform are currently polling 2x the next highest, and with FPTP...
