John Crace’s sketch absolutely scathing about Shabana Mahmood: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Shabana Mahmood puts the signs up: Britain is full. No blacks, no dogs, no Irish
We had always given sanctuary to those who needed it, she said, only now we would kick them out as soon as possible

This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems

There are so many reasons to blast Patti Smith out of the speakers but here's one if you need it.
Happy birthday.

The Planning & Infrastructure bill is a disaster.
It lets ministers overrule councils, scraps proper wildlife surveys, and gives developers a free pass to bulldoze nature. It weakens badger protections, ignores animal welfare, and lets companies pay to destroy habitats.
Profit over planet.

UK banking industry opposes tax rises, says it pays tax at the rate of 46.4%, and last year paid £43.3bn.
Absolute lie.
At best banks paid £23.1bn, corporation tax was only £8.8bn.
Banks silent on public subsidies they get.
Tax banks. End their subsidies

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty
Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.
