Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Yes we've all felt immensely pissed off with the BBC from time to time

But it's clear that the attacks on it come from fascists and proto-fascists who want to shut down our powerful public-service broadcaster

For the sake of democracy we all need to defend the BBC as an institution

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Have just read our projected budget for 2026/27 and I STRONGLY endorse this message. We don't have any billionaire backers. It's regular monthly donations from normal folk that keep the ship afloat.
Just to add, if you are able to offer financial support to the Good Law Project it would be a v fine thing to do …
For too long, sporting bodies, @cam.ac.uk societies, and those who shrink in the face of hate, have adopted the blanket approach of excluding trans people from sport. Enough. We are suing the England and Wales Cricket Board. goodlaw.social/qvf6

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Every year 100s of employers are named and shamed for failure to pay the statutory minimum wage.

2016-2023: over 3m workers denied the minimum wage.

Puny fines do nothing. Fines must equal the remuneration of the board of directors. 50% personally payable. Imprison persistent offenders.
The government must ensure fair distribution of income

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.
