I view Keir Starmer and his Starmtroopers as basically wholesale fascism with a velvet glove. There is no other way to describe it.

In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
If Reform ever wins power in Westminster, it will be because of Labour’s cowardice | George Monbiot
Starmer could improve our unfair electoral system to stop the hard right, but he won’t. All the party has left are threats about ‘splitting the vote’, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

5. What this is about is the locus of solidarity. Either you express solidarity with the victims of genocide and the victims of sexual abuse. Or you express solidarity with someone you treat as a hero, who might be assisting the airbrushing of those crimes. There’s a choice to be made.

I’m also not in the Epstein files. I was never invited for anything by Epstein. I am even doubting if he was aware of my existence. A lot of people seem to be unaware of my existence. Anyways, it doesn’t matter, I wouldn’t have accepted the invitation in any case.

While i’m happy we’ll have a gay PM, and I’m happy about Jetten, the coalition agreement is ableist (cutting hundreds of millions to the most vulnerable), xenophobic and cruel towards immigrants, and classist, cutting on social programs while advantaging those who are wealthy. I support none of that

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
