How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

A glimpse of UK democracy

The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 empowers the state to 24/7 snoop on bank accounts of benefit recipients.

The poor, old, sick have no financial privacy.

The same does not apply to enablers of tax abuse schemes.

We are all equal, aren't we?

Adult social care privatised since the 1980s. Local councils spend 70% of budget on it.

83% of social care controlled by private equity, 20%-40% profit margin.

Will Govt end profiteering, ensure only not-for-profit entities, including local councils, provide care.

Watch the Minister's reply.

'We're building a national care service...'

How will that be structured?
What percentage will be controlled by private equity - so poor value for taxpayers' money?

Politicians waxing lyrical about their particular favourite in shades of faux patriotism 🎢.
This is an argument for not having people featured on bank notes.

I agree with you a lot, Ed, but not on this. Bring on the wildlife.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Hounslow has become one of the first councils in the country, and the first borough in West London, to introduce a #RightToGrow policy. Backed by Dowton's Jim Carter, our new policy allows residents to steward unloved public land and grow food and flowers.

Prioritising AI data centres could block new homes, builders warn The government plans to give data centres priority access to the electricity grid to speed up development.

Data centres burn huge amounts of power but provide very few jobs. Are we covering the countryside and using up power connections to enable bitcoins to be mined?

In the words of Jon Sopel: "What the actual fuck?"

GB News has suggested migration in the UK is a "genocide" of white Brits.

Is conspiracy theory the only thing that can get through its guests' "dull, dead synapses"?
