Five days into the Government's 'strong start to January.' Day 1 blame the voters. Day 2, blame the civil service. Days 3-5, ignore international law.

Voters & civil service didn't make a Labour government cut winter fuel payments & refuse a wealth tax.

This Government has no moral authority left to protect. But still, this is an agonising read from the great @georgemonbiot.bsky.social.
Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot

I’ve little time for the elitist gong system. With occasional exceptions, it rewards those already privileged & who reinforce the establishment rather than challenge it. A scattering of minor honours for the underpaid/volunteers is moral camouflage for rewarding compliance & for flattering power.

Then Pinochet and the CIA built a cross-border killing machine, Operation Condor. Intelligence services across South America shared lists of leftists, tracked exiles, kidnapped people abroad, tortured and murdered them.

The message: even peaceful challenges to US power would be met with terror.

Democracy doesn’t die in darkness. That’s always been a myth. It dies with strobe lights and lasers bombarding you from every direction.

Don’t be distracted from:
—Trump is deeply unpopular
—Trump is openly corrupt
—No Kings is the largest protest movement in US history

The problems feel big. The days are short; the nights are long. It’s easy to despair.
But despair is a gift to the powerful. It keeps you quiet, keeps you small.

In 2026, let’s turn despair into DETERMINATION. If we all do a little, we can achieve a lot.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.
