I'm old enough to remember when UK Labour's Scottish branch office leader Anas Sarwar promised 70k 'GB Energy' jobs for Scotland. (Last year. There are now, what? 30 jobs?)

The Palestine hunger strikers are going to die if there is no intervention from this Labour government.

I was born in the East End nearly 60 years ago now. And I always tell people how rotten a lot of London was, dirty, run down, still scarred from WW2. So many areas people think of as posh or wealthy were filled with squats and derelict properties.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

The thing I still can't forgive Corbyn for is the generational harm he caused by enabling Brexit. When Starmer is gone, hopefully soon, I will feel the same way about the profound harm he has caused by making it palatable for the Far Right to ditch human rights norms. It will be his shameful legacy.

Similar thing happens with Wales' supplying water to England
Seven Trent gets a 252million litres a day that it sells to their customers
Wales gets basically nothing in return for it
And Wales' water bills are insane because of this

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

So, there's a way to go yet... 😬

That is some decision in the Sandie Peggie case. I’m going to learn a lot from reading it. In the meantime it is clear that there has been enormous misreporting by the media. They seem to have read only the opening paras of the judgment or else a biased press release. On the law, Sandie Peggie lost.
