Pluto's journey has come to an end. He went peacefully surrounded by love. He was the best boy you could ever wish for. My first and last thought every day. My reason to wake. I miss him so much. 22/7/25.

War Wankers want to make the poor poorer to justify increasing the military budget. The UK is the SIXTH biggest defence spender in the WORLD Poverty is a political choice

Kevin Maguire is spot on, all this talk about people stocking up is part of a wider lobbying campaign to increase defence spending. And as Kevin points out, the UK is already the 6th biggest defence spender in the world.

Elon Musk not only controls the satellite systems that the Ukrainian army - and other European armies - rely upon, he also controls the algorithms that govern a large swathe of the European information space. Europe needs to decouple from this clear and present threat to their security. My latest

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

The loss of freedom of movement due to Brexit affects far more than just people. Losing the four freedoms- goods, people, capital, and services has wide-ranging consequences.

The stock markets and bond markets are no supporters of democracy, and we should never allow them to dictate the limits of politics.

As the cost-of-living crisis pushes households to the brink and climate breakdown places further stress on public services, only the Green Party are pushing for genuine action at the Budget this week.

Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills. If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

For a number of years now, I've believed that US Private Equity should be outlawed in Britain and The EU. Everytime it's the same thing: buy a business using massive leverage; sell of what can be sold; run it into ground and then sell for what profit is available. This should not be allowed at all.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

The Student List had no party machinery. It operated through university assemblies, protests and hiking between cities & towns. They had 2% of national TV political advertising airtime vs 93% for Vučić. This is one of the most remarkable grassroots democratic victories in modern European history.
