Liz Kendall has admitted that I.D. will be used for far more than just the right to work. It will be used for EVERYTHING you buy or do. Data will be harvested by the likes of Larry Ellison (U.S. 2nd richest in the world) and make no mistake it enables the govt & him to gain control over our lives
I've officially reached the point in my career where I can hear budget cuts as a background soundtrack to my life.
This mid-week post is half-primal scream, half-essay and almost entirely about the national delusion that we can keep "doing more with less."
Welcome to the edge - there's snacks.
I'm not "comfortable" with any right wing government including this one. The difference between Labour/Tories/Reform is about style and degree not substance. A bunch of amoral chancers saying "vote for us because we're not quite as bad" won't inspire people desperate for real change.
They could stop drinking expensive coffees or even get on their bikes and look for work or not have big TVs or get a different job. You know, the kind of things they recommend for poor people.
More evidence that the differences between Labour/Tories/Reform are about style and degree not substance. We're already getting "but if you don't vote for us Reform will win". They are already winning because Labour are now just a vehicle for unprincipled opportunists.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.
All the "research"that money can buy.
Mary Lawlor, UN special rapporteur for human rights defenders, accuses US, UK and other governments of paying lip service to climate goals while criminalizing activists.

The Starmer project has relied from the beginning on back room maneuvering, smears, stitch ups, and ruthless exploitation of the party’s disciplinary procedures.
The result is a soulless, empty husk of a political project, writes Richard Sanders👇

I’m seeing pieces and posts today about how useful digital ID could be in navigating bureaucracy etc. Yes. It would. That, however, is *not* how the government tried to sell it to us. Instead, they portrayed it as a tool to stop illegal working and curb illegal immigration. 1/4
If he paid a proper wealth tax what would actually change for him? He and his family are already totally insulated from the everyday stresses and strains but obviously not from the pathological need for money and power.
If only more people cared!

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.
The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

There are only marginal differences between banks so how about Bank of England current and savings accounts. They can run alongside existing suppliers so if people want "choice" they can have it. Car insurance is compulsory so a state run insurance scheme to benefit us all.

Yes, and in govt you supported & armed Israel, provided them with military assistance & refused to take any actions to exert meaningful pressure on them. Thats your record.
Britain now has 1970s levels racism without 1970s levels of secure well-paid jobs, social housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions and affordable rail fares
Anybody who follows what is happening and who is paying for it knows that Labour is a moral vacuum.The difference between Labour and Reform is that of style and degree not of substance.The only question is "How low will they go?".
