As if the Rich and Powerful 'conspiring' to destroy this planet was not based on enough, they are using their wealth and power to make sure that anyone trying to stop them is criminalised. Madness.

Starmer’s government had just one job: repair the damage done by the Tories by fixing the cost of living, housing, and healthcare crises. This they have utterly failed to do so they face electoral oblivion regardless of what Reeves does in her budget.

Many of the papers are warning Reeves that she risks destroying the Labour Party is she increases income tax. She needn’t worry – the party has already destroyed itself – she might just save it. Odds are pretty long…

Pretty much every decision taken by this supposedly Labour government has been wrong. This stunning 'achievement' now sees them languishing in fourth place in the polls. Starmer, has wilfully destroyed his Party, betrayed the voters, and is paving the way for a Farage government.

The Daily Mail front page carries an article decrying the state of the NHS. Yet 15 years ago it was one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Remind me who was in charge for 14 of those years? Oh yes, the fucking Tories.

Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Sir Keir Starmer is considering a mandatory digital ID scheme called “BritCard” that would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives.
