Thanks for the reminder @allangpaterson.bsky.social โค๏ธ
The most powerful thing I heard from a Labour MP at conference was that Labour risk being remembered for 3 things:
-squandering their majority
-allowing in the first far-right government this country has ever seen
-overseeing a genocide in Gaza.
What a legacy.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Agreed, we are the 99% and we should never forget it!
We should all remember we are the 99%! Since I got this image originally from you, may I recommend you use it more ๐
Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.
Bahahahahaha!

Oh, how sad for him ๐คฃ
Donald Trump in a Truth Social post on March 8, 2026: "Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT"
Taking a victory lap on "LOWEST EVER" gas prices, then calling Americans "FOOLS" for worrying about his war with Iran raising prices?
Donald Trump is a con man with no plan and failing the American people.

If they hid the death of Ruben Ray Martinez at the hands of ICE in Texas, how long before they start hiding the deaths caused by their mismanagement of yet another disease outbreak?
I agree with George.
Agreed. This so-called 'opting out' is often just desperation. People are being squeezed out because the underfunding has led to undercapacity.

Our co-chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said in the Sunday Express:
"When the NHS has been funded to meet the needs of the population, access to private healthcare has been static. This is a sign of how govts have failed to provide essential healthcare for all."
It's a shame the quiz is blocked for non-subscribers!
Would have loved to join you on the 24th to discuss this further but I'm off to a very interesting Deming talk already booked, Mark! Next time, hopefully.

Yes. Extreme wealth is not positive or even neutral: is a threat to all the rest of us.
Extreme wealth vs the 99% - 99% share.google/i49pKhqMtIvx...
Wealthโs overriding purpose is to grow. Extreme wealth therefore is like a black hole sucking in lesser wealth.

Well done to #LizWebster's take on Telegraph sale, with comments.

๐งต This has to be the funniest Brexit moment yet.
The Brexit-loving brigade spluttering into their cornflakes as they discover The Telegraph has been sold to a German media company.
The irony is spectacular.
The real Brexit story isnโt just politics.
Itโs media power.
For 30 years parts of British press helped create the Brexit narrative.
Now the consequences of that narrative are reshaping the very institutions that promoted it.
History has a long memory.

Brexit was sold as Britain โtaking back controlโ.
Instead the country weakened its economic power and economic power determines who owns what.
Which is how one of Britainโs most pro-Brexit newspapers ends up owned by a German media group.
Irony doesnโt get much better.
