You can’t appease these people. They only respond to decisive limits. Don’t implement them and they’ll take the piss.
We are already in a democratic recession.
Labour’s inaction won’t just screw them, it’ll screw us all. Our elections will be bought.

Probably just as important as growing economic inequality is the degradation of news by Big Tech, and the loss of a common accepted reality amid the massive growth (often foreign inspired) of 'alternative facts' and conspiracy theory networks
True but there’s structural problems in media ownership, social media and accountability and funding of politics. The billionaire oligarch class outspend everyone with no consequence for integrity. Right wing commentators can become wealthy by pushing absolute bullshit approved by media owners

However it was ‘persuaded’ by UK Govts not long after Charlie Massey joined in 2016 🤔

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions
