Boris Johnson took 4 days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system

Thousands died.

Spent time walking his dog, riding motorcycle, hosting lunches/dinners.

He once said Covid was ‘nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’.

Will he be held to account,?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social on taxing the rich: "This is about inequality. For decades now poor people have got poorer and rich people have got richer... the money [raised] is important but the real point is about tackling inequality.. we need to get those assets flowing around the economy"

UK energy standing charge plan could backfire.

Exorbitant standing charges hurt low users.

Regulator plans a new tariff - low standing charge & higher cost of each unit.

That won't do. Energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020.

Better to end profiteering, nationalize energy.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

The BBC home webpage this morning is a reminder that mainstream media views 1400 Israelis as much more important than 67,000 Palestinians.

67,000 is the official number but actual death toll will be far higher.

$7,900,000,000,000
over 9 years, driving climate chaos, deadly health impacts, crop failures, migration.

Michelle Mone’s PPE MEDPRO was a company that was less than 3 weeks old, with zero employee’s, no contracts, no premises, no previous transactions of any kind and with £100 in the bank.

Then the Government gave it £203,000,000.

Jail, jail, jail.

Starmer's team are cancelling the passes of left-wing journalists mid-conference

Owen Jones and Novara's Rivkah Brown have both suddenly had their access to the Labour conference revoked. What could that possibly be for?

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Kier Starmer effectively endorses Reform, telling UK voters you are justified in voting for a far-right anti-immigration party. 🫩
The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.
