I found this thread by George Monbiot, as well as his article quoted, well worth a read. It gets to the heart of the problem of politics in the U.K. at the moment, and some pretty straightforward solutions staring our leaders in the face.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Officer Brian Sicknick
was killed on J6 because of Trump β€” here’s what Brian’s father said ⬇️⬇️⬇️

"Trump makes sure he gets his face out there. The guy’s a criminal. He’s the reason my son is deadβ€”because of the riot at the Capitol…There’s nothing good about that man."

Watching every Tory/Reformite now toadying up to Trump.
Their grim sycophancy ties them to all Trump’s acts of degeneracy, to his cruelty, personal greed and ruinous prejudice.
It exposes their disloyalty to us and their readiness to undermine our country and our democracy.
Keep the receipts.

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.
For love of god, England, work it out…

I hate it when people say "we all have to tighten our belts" in defence of Labour.

a) We hated austerity under Tories.
b) Why do we have to tighten our belts? It literally means "eat less" and I don't want to eat less, cheers!
c) Why do the mega-rich never get asked to tighten their poxy belts!?

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.
