Further considering a recent Mamdani video, what struck me was how he actually seems to understand the real issue of regulatory impact on small businesses. UK politicians are simply not showing similar real life comprehension and tying them into policy. bsky.app/profile/davi...
Dangerous socialist or hitting one of the biggest problems with modern economies, that life is just getting too hard for small businesses and that saps energy from the market? Feels like EU and UK policy makers should be taking notice rather than the same old tired talk.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

Channel 4 News covered it reasonably well and found another angle on it pretty much unreported.
But yeah, 95%+ of Brits don't even know there's a Channel 4 News.

The amount of outright lies the previous Tory ministers brazenly told and not once where they challenged like this. UK media is an absolute sh*tshow.

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.
Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?

How novel, a Politburo without a general secretary. That won't last beyond its first meeting.
Corbyn was hopeless because he couldn't make decisions. He always had to consult his favoured clique and eventually waffle something out. I suppose this time others will appoint the clique.
