Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Imagine trying to give someone threatening other people a £100 fine, do you think that’s going to deescalate things

“Drop the hosepipe and move away from it very slowly, Eric” From the Private Eye archive. Issue 1267, July 2010.

Simple answer - the majority right wing media not only let's him get away with it but continues to promote him... while many in Labour - for the most part - arw too timid to call him and his disgrace of a party out. Burnham has it in him. Needs to take the fight to Reform

I've just signed the Palantir Pledge, joining politicians across the world in committing not to support any public contracts with this US tech giant. The next big battle here is to use the upcoming break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS!
