Who Governs?

JP Morgan threatened to quit UK over mooted tax rise for banks.

CEO met Reeves/Starmer, tax didn't rise.

Govt cut benefits, dept budgets; real tax rises for others.

Corporations dodge taxes, bully govts and govern. Curbing their power is essential for any form of democracy.

Atrocities like Gaza will continue whilst educated electorates like ours soak up the oligarch controlled media and continue to vote for arseholes.

What were Israeli military aircraft doing at RAF Brize Norton last October and November?

Why does the government refuse to say?

Why have Israeli military aircraft been landing at a UK air base?
Israel’s air force recently undertook three flights from the Royal Air Force’s main base in Oxfordshire. Were they carrying arms?

The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The indie bookstore around the corner had this sign. So I went inside and bought 2 books from the banned book section. Support local small businesses. Read banned books. Drink your Ovaltine.

Palantir (Wes Streeting's partner of choice for your private medical data) is helping Donald Trump draw up a list of targets for deportation.

Are you still relaxed about it holding your medical data?

ICE Just Paid Palantir Tens of Millions for ‘Complete Target Analysis of Known Populations’
The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs.

No impact assessment produced.

A Wes Streeting recipe for privatisation dressed up as efficiency drive.

NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to the private sector. 30% -40% of money will vanish in profits. Money will buy less.

Must resist.
