At drama school we were put in pairs and told to prepare scenes where the theme was "sickness". People did scene after scene of harrowing illness, saying goodbye to a loved one, etc etc and then Ben Mann and Robert Hannouch got up and just pretended to throw up for 3 minutes saying "oh god, oh no!"

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon.

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%.
That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

Let’s be clear – the US never had moral supremacy. With Trump, it’s not even pretending any more | Owen Jones
The president has replaced the ‘good guys’ myth with unapologetic brute force and greed – it could be a major mistake, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones
