Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

We are back for a whole season about the story of socialism. In the first episode we explain socialism(s) and communism(s) before Marx, featuring the French Revolution, Chartists, anarchists, the birth of the co-operative movement, utopian novels, America's experimental communes and seas of lemonade
🚨Season 8 – The Story of Socialism – starts today🚨 It’s arguably the most earth-shaking political concept of the last 200 years. @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social start with the idea's inception during turbulent times in the mid 1800s.

This is ridiculous. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen: a nation destroying itself to prevent the sale of cheap products. We can't keep getting stupider at this pace, as a species. Within another generation or two we won't be able to speak whole sentences.
