Some of those who call themselves 'centrists' think a bit of tinkering at the edges will enable 'equal opportunity.' If you look at British society, & conclude there's no need for complete change, you're a Tory, plain & simple. You might be a 'centrist' Tory, but you're a Tory.

Thanks

Govts of Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman, China, France, Germany Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, UAE, US would like to thank UK for letting their entities own UK infrastructure.

Vast profits exported, Britons stare at sewage in rivers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

The First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social was absolutely correct to call the summit on the far right.

Scotland can and will unite against the forces that seek to divide us.

The poorest people spend every penny they get. Cut their income, and you cut spending in every local economy.

The Tory plan to cut £47 billion out of government budgets is £47 billion less in everyone’s pockets | Prof Richard Murphy

What happens when £47 billion disappears from Britain’s economy?

Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to take £47 billion out of the UK economy. That isn't prudence. It's managed decline

Far more UK politicians need to speak up in support of migrants the way Zack Polanski did last night on #bbcqt

You don't fight fascism by (even partially) endorsing it's talking points, you fight fascism by rejecting them and offering a more positive vision.

Zack Polanski,
"How do you expect people to integrate when you've taken away their services?"

"We need to make sure that all politicians are speaking about migration in a positive sense"

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!
