Bonkers.

Trump: “The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

It’s actually pretty interesting content.

Last week we shared some research showing Swedes missed their wealth tax.

Well, it looks like the Danes do too...

Green MP Ellie Chowns on the elections bill last night: "It is really quite extraordinary that the Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne has been allowed to donate £9 million to Reform UK. I notice that its Members are still not here" (2/3rds of the way into the debate)

“I will not permit, I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. That is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than that” - Keir Starmer

This week’s main story is about Twitter. Or “X” if you’re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how it’s impacting us all, and why there’s exactly one account there that we’re still fine with.

"The Labour Party under Starmer will abandon its core idealism and principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and nobody will, in fact, vote for it." . - David Graeber

David Graeber made a warning about Keir Starmer in 2020. They did not listen

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,

Inside the Gorton & Denton By-Election: On the Ground with the Greens as Reform Controversy Grows YouTube video by The Northern Rose

Hannah Spencer wins the Gorton and Denton byelection for the Greens! 🥳 I saw first hand just how many people and volunteers were on the ground for the Greens. There is genuine mass political support from the public for change to the left!

BREAKING: Keir Starmer tells #BBCBreakfast tech platforms will have to remove intimate images which have been shared without consent within 48 hours or face fines of up to 10% of their global sales or have their services blocked in the UK

Why do we need working-class politicians?

"The people who keep the country going are the ones who should get a say in how it's run."

The thoughts of Hannah Spencer, Green Party candidate in Gorton and Denton.

Yesterday, the Government confirmed that the delayed local elections are back on.

​​What this means is a bigger battleground where we need to tackle the politics of hate and division.

‘Millionaires tax’ clears first hurdle State Senators passed legislation Monday to create an income tax on those earning over $1 million a year, the first hurdle in what will likely prove to be a long legislative battle.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk surge in popularity is a huge contributor to Labour’s internal conflict. The Greens have effectively proven the public demand for left-wing politics and proven Starmer was mad to shift right. The Greens have successfully pulled politics left.👏

One benefit of Reform in the UK is that many of my friends are realising that it’s not good enough to be passive about politics anymore. Reform may have radicalised a bunch of conservatives, but they’ve also mobilised many lefties to actually get out there. Most people recognise the genuine threat.

President Lee of South Korea just blasted the Korea Chamber of Commerce & Industry for spreading “fake news” about millionaires leaving the country.

Sound familiar? That’s because it was based on the same junk stats used to scare the UK public away from wealth taxes.

The daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.
