I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

Interesting. Media is being very quick to push the idea that a R*form gov is a done deal but I've never thought that was true. Cracks are starting to become impossible to hide.
FT Exclusive: The Reform UK leader told donors he expects a deal or merger between his party and the Conservatives ahead of the next general election, suggesting he does not believe he can sweep to power alone. on.ft.com/44xlHi0

Some time ago I discovered that each day the Auschwitz Memorial feed gives name, photo, & info about a person who was sent to the camp.
Seems particularly important right now.

My Budget Day opinion:
Budget Day should be abolished. Performative nonsense that (by accident) leans into 'politics as entertainment'.
Measures should instead be announced when they are individually ready to be announced – at any time in the parliamentary calendar.

It's important not to normalise spreading germs around. If someone is ill with respiratory symptoms encourage them to self-isolate and not attend in person any work or social events (if they can afford it)... or at the very least wear a mask. Haven't we learnt anything from the pandemic?

This is one of those things that rarely gets talked about that has had a massive effect.
As fields like journalism, art, and academia were collapsed and living expenses skyrocketed they came to skew increasingly toward people whose families could afford to supplement their income.

If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic
That third thing is unsustainable long-term

This is extremely unfortunate to say the least. Not sure how I would have reacted to having my Reith lectures censored - the world has changed in an ill way in the two years since.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When R*form swept through at the locals I thought it might actually be a good thing - once people saw them working they would be less keen at national. F*rage wants a quick election cause he knows he & the party don't stand up to scrutiny.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
