This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Defra breached law, with Tory govt was in office, when it let farmers use bee-killing pesticide, watchdog says. This is one outcome of capture of the state by corporations, and secrecy. Govts pursue economic growth, not resilience, at almost any cost.

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976

BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs. Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election. Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs. Let's end this racket!

Scrap that 💩off

Democracy has been completely dead in the USA since Ronald Reagan put the billionaires permanently in power

This morning scrolling Bluesky, there is nothing at all in my feed about Putin’s barbaric attack on the Ukraine’s holiest site, the UNESCO protected Lavra so I’m posting this here.

The eldest son of Norway’s crown princess, Marius Borg Hoiby, has been given four years in prison for rape

The government needs to leave X. EVERYONE needs to leave X.

My memoir, A Mind Of My Own is now available in paperback which means it’s cheaper. Hurrah! If you’d like a dedicated copy repost this and I’ll do a random pick of five winners in the next couple of days. If you’ve already bought/read or listened to the audible version thank you! ♥️📚

Good, now do the water & sewer utilities. Huge problems with them, time to fix

This country has heard enough from Tony Blair.

What some of us have been warning of for decades is happening, faster and fiercer than most imagined, even in the mildest and most temperate corners of the world. #ClimateBreakdown

Thames Water's creditors want to set a new low for privatised water by asking Ofwat to sign off on a deal which allows them to break the rules. Ofwat are poised to agree. We can't let them. Email your MP now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/the-...

"It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it. But by the time we went on air we simply had one of each; we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance. It wasn't." @maitlis.bsky.social

This is yet another example of the weaponisation of antisemitism. When so much of our media mis-report what Prince Harry said, it’s not coincidence, it’s deliberate and systematic. By omitting his reference to “anti-Muslim hate” they are turning news into propaganda

The King's Speech and cost-of-living crisis. 2.73m households in England live in fuel poverty. 4.5m-6.1m can't adequately heat homes and stay warm and healthy. Since 2020 energy companies made £125bn profit. 120,000 Britons die in fuel poverty annually. Yet no curbs on profiteering.

🧵 I've been working away like mad, getting ready to launch my new Patreon next month: 'STEPHEN BROTHERSTONE IS STILL SCARRED FOR LIFE'! There'll be BRAND NEW and exclusive Scarred For Life essays, videos, and a 'radio show' to boot! Let's take a look at what Patrons will be getting... (1/5)
