I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again.

These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration.

He has to go.

And here is Part II of Aesop.

Aesop III and an episode on Medusa 16/8 are the last of Season 1. As I research and write Season 2, if you can afford to support my work you can do so on ko-fi.com/podyssey - a monthly subscription is best. Thanks, you lovely people.

The NHS can't make us better when big business is making profit by making us sick youtu.be/uQA3jkqOXNQ?... From addictive foods to lifetime drugs, corporations are profiting from your ill-health, and the NHS is left to foot the bill. This is how neoliberalism is eating the state.

The UK grooming scandal is a DIRECT consequence of austerity and the death od Social Care and Support by a thousand cuts. Local Authorities and social care organisations have been decimated by continued austerity by the Conservatives and now Labour.
