“The rich get richer because political leaders protect that growth – often in service of their own ambitions. A Britain governed in the public interest must not defer to a plutocratic class. There needs to be a break with the current model” Sounds like a plan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"What happened in 1933-45 should have been opposed in 1928. After that it was too late. You can't wait until the struggle for freedom becomes a treasonable act. You mustn't wait until the snowball becomes an avalanche." Erich Kästner, German author and poet, 25th anniversary of German book burnings.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Reform UK’s policies add up to an agenda of fiscal recklessness that rivals, and may well exceed, the disastrous 49-day, hair-raising, market-tanking premiership of Liz Truss in 2022 econ.st/42WSuLG

Are you in despair about Reform UK? This project from our friends at Ripples and Tactical Vote has raised £4,000. They said they're blown away and will not only 'fact check' Reform politicians, they're going to monitor what Reform does in all 10 of the councils it now runs. Check it out:

I’ve been critical of Labour, but credit where it’s due….
Now, don't get us wrong. There's much that @uklabour.bsky.social have got wrong in their 10 months. But... What if Nick Abbot @lbc.co.uk ran Labour's comms? (And throw in that Leverson 2. Just sayin'.) It's impressive. Thank you Aubrey for beating us to it by 24 hours! 😉

For an extra burst dopamine from my photo below look for the 6-petalled forget me not. If you have f-m-n in your garden look closely at the centres of the flowers. If they’re yellow they contain nectar,but when they’ve been pollinated they fade to white-tiny bees know which flowers have a snack in 🐝

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country. Details w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
