How political choices have led the UK into a financial crisis.

Was it deliberate or are our governments consistently incompetent?
UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea.

UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations.

Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies.

Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis.

UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

Launched in the early 1990s to invest mostly in bonds, the fund has grown to become the largest of its kind by acquiring small equity stakes in thousands of companies across the world.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

And this? @jackabbott.bsky.social the modern Labour Party.
This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

Shame on the Labour Party @jackabbott.bsky.social is this what you support and stand for?
Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage have both praised, or alluded to their pleasure, in Labour's immigration policies - Labour will see this as a success rather than the shameful, spineless capitulation to fascism that it actually is.

MPs urge Reeves to raise gambling taxes despite ‘scaremongering’ from firms.

Quite right.

Bet365 CEO collected £323m in pay and dividends last year. Company paid 12.7% corporation tax on £1.4bn profit.

Almost all betting companies have offshore tax haven operations, solely to dodge UK taxes.

On this day 85 years ago, nearly 500 Luftwaffe bombers devastated the city, destroying the medieval church of St Michael’s and taking hundreds of lives.

Today is a powerful reminder of Coventry’s resilience and remembrance.

The Rule of Law in England.

Legal-aid is scarce.

Backlog of 78,329 Crown Court and 361,027 Magistrates’ courts cases. No speedy hearing.

The Post Office scandal shows that corporations can hound innocent people. No one charged for false prosecutions and ruining lives.
Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich
The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

A WIN FOR RENTERS
In May, Lord Bird secured a “personal commitment” from the Minister to bring forward the end of no-fault evictions after tabling his amendment to the Renters’ Rights Bill. Today that promise has been delivered: the government has announced no-fault evictions will end on 1 May 2026.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Well, as usual we started with the rubbish, there was less today than other days. A treasure was found - a working bike light plus the predictable empty vodka bottle. What is the story behind the bike light? Something has been digging in the garden - you have to admire the ambition they obviously don't know much about the condition of the ground and that a lump hammer and an iron spike are needed to make much of an impact. I try to find something beautiful to share every week and this week the rosettes of leaves were what attracted my attention. So perfect.
