“The rich get richer because political leaders protect that growth – often in service of their own ambitions. A Britain governed in the public interest must not defer to a plutocratic class. There needs to be a break with the current model”

"What happened in 1933-45 should have been opposed in 1928. After that it was too late. You can't wait until the struggle for freedom becomes a treasonable act. You mustn't wait until the snowball becomes an avalanche." Erich Kästner, German author and poet, 25th anniversary of German book burnings.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Reform UK’s policies add up to an agenda of fiscal recklessness that rivals, and may well exceed, the disastrous 49-day, hair-raising, market-tanking premiership of Liz Truss in 2022

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Labour have over 6k elected Councillor’s the Tories over 5k, Lib Dem’s over 3k yet the BBC and most other media outlets are acting as if Reform with less than 9O0 ( less than the Greens) are running the country.

Best strange advice I’ve ever gotten: If you catch yourself having negative thoughts about yourself, start hearing them in Trump’s voice. You’ll immediately begin defending yourself.

Are you in despair about Reform UK?
This project from our friends at Ripples and Tactical Vote has raised £4,000.
They said they're blown away and will not only 'fact check' Reform politicians, they're going to monitor what Reform does in all 10 of the councils it now runs.

I’ve been critical of Labour, but credit where it’s due….
Now, don't get us wrong. There's much that @uklabour.bsky.social have got wrong in their 10 months. But...
What if Nick Abbot @lbc.co.uk ran Labour's comms? (And throw in that Leverson 2. Just sayin'.) It's impressive.
Thank you Aubrey for beating us to it by 24 hours! 😉
