It’s incomprehensible that three Labour MPs should be suspended for refusing to vote to make disabled people poorer. How did it come to this?

Starmer is completely mad. What in Gods name does he think he’s doing? He can’t honour his own words, seems to have no clear beliefs or values, and is deeply paranoid. The worst Labour government in my long life.

The entire Westminster system needs rebuilding from scratch:
-PR
-No second income while an MP
-New building with semi-circle arrangement and electronic voting
-All external party donations banned
This incident and several others are all at least indirectly linked to the outdated systems.

Congrats to the new owners of the Observer for losing slightly less money than they did last year.
Tortoise Media's 2023 accounts have just been published & they lost *only* £3.8m on £6m revenue this year (compared to £4.6m on £6.2m) last year.

Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash
Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.
