Reeves to the PLP this week: this budget will focus on fixing the NHS (no it won't), getting our debt under control (no, it won't) and on the cost of living (they're taxing supermarkets). She would not have done that a year ago.

Has the entire political class lost all sense of perspective chasing after a tabloid fetish? How times have changed from 25 years ago when people were seriously discussing the long term root causes like war, famine, debt, unequal flows of wealth, monopolies, terms of trade, & justice. 😞

This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.
