At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot

Would it be an idea to ask Brexitists if they'd prefer income-tax rises or rejoining the EU...?
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

One of the biggest problems with mainstream media is its regular platforming of lunatic people with mad ideas.
Particularly the BBC, which is meant to be about public education.
UK politics is broken in large part because we have lazy gatekeepers of MSM.
