"Far from protecting Europeans during wartime, these nuclear weapons would contribute to turning Europe into a radioactive wasteland."

Great work from Nukewatch UK on tracking the delivery of US nukes to RAF Lakenheath. Starmer must come clean on this!

I've been doing back-to-back large projects since April which is great but it always means I post less on social media, and when I post less I sell less art & merch, fewer Patreon sign-ups etc, so right now I'm running on fumes.

So if you'd like a t-shirt or a print from my shop it'd be a big help!

When Rachel Reeves backs trickledown economics and deregulation of financial sector she is all of the below:
Using discredited ideology.
Ignoring economic evidence.
Scared of the City.
Desperate.
A Tory.

Reeves should know well that all evidence says trickle down is a myth. Deregulating capitalism makes the rich even richer. Nonsense from a so-called called Labour Chancellor.
Reeves to say cuts to City red tape will bring trickle-down benefits to households
Chancellor to announce raft of deregulation changes as City regulators move to pare back transparency rules

Scottish people miss out on the benefits of having one of Europe's highest renewable potentials and the UK as a whole loses out on billions because the UK Labour Party is dedicated to pandering to Reform.

The entire UK political/media narrative on welfare is that it is "burgeoning", "a burden" & "unsustainable". But how high is it compared to others? UK welfare at 10.8% of GDP in 2023 (including pensions). Finland spends 25.7% of GDP; France 23.8%: both double the UK.
