The normalisation of extremism – a warning
The ‘f’ word may be thrown around too easily – some on the right argue that – but parallels between the 1920s/1930s and now are startling if you think about it.

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him.

A reminder that Sadiq Khan successfully won three elections in a row by large majorities against Conservative opponents, one of whom, Shaun Bailey, was then given a seat in the House of Lords for life.
Funnily enough I don't remember the Daily Mail describing that as a "reward for failure"

Yet has the worst healthcare in the developed world.

We are so poorly served by world leaders. So many are weak and compromised. Instead of sitting down and negotiating they persist in trying to perceive to be strong.
A likely escalation of the Russia/Ukraine war would be hugely damaging.
The ongoing slaughter of Palestinians is shameful and obscene.

Not once has Starmer condemned Netanyahu for the horrific crimes his apartheid regime has committed against Palestinians. Starmer talks about the release of Israeli hostages only. He choses to ignore the thousands of Palestinians held by Israel.

The world gets 11% richer every year, but you don't.
Because 90% of that new wealth goes to the richest 1%.
And 50% goes to just the richest 0.001%.
The world isn't ever going to get better unless their glass is broken.
