The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

Robert Reich may sounds like a progressive for calling corruption in the fascist GOP.
He’s no progressive when he never calls out Biden for being beholden to the rich bastards and corporate interests or corruption in the Democratic Party.

One of Labour's biggest failures to date is arresting PEACEFUL protestors, protesting against a genocide being committed by zionist Israel.
I'm not surprised at Starmer's choice, after all, he and his family are zionists believing that Palestine shouldn't exist.
Disgusting failure of resources!!.
