“We want growth. We know this is the single best way of getting it…
We could then challenge Farage… to either continue with our economic recovery, or to halt it in its tracks and take us backwards.”
Finally. Weaken Farage by doing something that actually works.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The GMB union's London Region has welcomed plans by MPs to bar parliamentary candidates from standing if they do not pass an enhanced DBS check.
GMB says "the status quo, which allows candidates who have been convicted of violent and sexual offences to stand for office, presents safeguarding risks"

Absolutely wild that a teacher is having to ask people to buy things like printer ink for their class in the richest country in the world. Maybe UK schools aren't as bad as we thought...

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

The Trump war on the press has reached the UK too. The BBC is being torn apart because of a dispute over how a video of Trump speaking on Jan 6 was edited. The pro-Trump crowd say it makes it seem like Trump was egging on his supporters to go to the Capitol -- which is exactly what happened.
