Good morning ☀️

The Lunar New Year, Ash Wednesday, and Ramadan all are happening this week!

During this time of reflection, renewal, and fasting, I encourage you to honor your needs. It’s a good time to visualize what you’d like to bring into this new year, and allow old chapters to close 🧚🏽‍♀️💕

The patent for Insulin was sold for $1 by its inventor so it could be provided almost for free.

Insulin costs $2 to make in the USA.

Abraham Lincoln associated democracy with “government of the people, by the people, for the people”.

Possibilities are subverted as corporations and super-rich buy political parties and legislators

Yet no govt wants to ban political donations which buy influence/power for the super-rich.
We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations
The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption

Good to see the ‘grown ups’ that are in charge are the ones that never take responsibility for their own failings
Starmer blamed his decision to appoint Mandelson on the vetting. Cooper blamed her decision to proscribe Palestine Action on the advice. Starmer blamed his decision to ennoble Matthew Doyle on the vetting. And now Kinnock blames the latest u-turn on the advice

It should be called “GB Not News” - and if you think that might make a difference re: their influence, that’s exactly the point!
