AOC on the Kennedy Center: The renaming is completely illegitimate. All they did was screw some nameplates onto the building. That’s coming right off. Enjoy your name on there for a year or two, but that’s getting ripped right out.

“The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?”

It’s absolutely NOT fair. This outrageous scandal must end

We are fast approaching the 10th anniversary anniversary of the Brexit referendum. But what does the public think - was Brexit more of a failure or a success?
"Looking around now. Do we feel like a rich country? I don't really think so."

11. This story is being spun as one bad apple. That awful man went off-piste and betrayed the national interest. Yes, he did, and he did it secretly in his disgraceful dealings with Epstein.
But in other respects he undermined democracy with the full backing of the government.
It was the policy.

10. Mandelson's betrayal was institutional. It was not a bug but a feature of the New Labour government. And it has been a feature of every government since.

6. His department’s “strategic plan” said it wanted the government to “match … the influence it exercises in the economy to the strategic needs of business.” It sought to second even more people from the private sector into government, which was already plagued by them.

3. I suggested that “the only convincing explanation for his appointment is that business demanded it.” In his previous roles, in Blair’s government, and as EU trade commissioner, he promoted “the culture of deregulation that catalysed the economic crisis”. But financiers and corporations loved it.
