#Fascism and #NeoLiberalism have become highly connected.
I'm just now finishing Hayek's Bastards, third book in an amazing trilogy. First book in particular was a tour de force.
He makes a strong case that the populist right is hugely infected by an offshoot of neoliberalism &/or has been adopted as a vehicle for their white supremacist agenda

Pauline Hanson has lashed out against people “offended” by her Racism saying she’s “sick & tired” of them
“That’s your problem, being offended!”
“My opinion, doesn’t that matter anymore?”🙄
Actually, no, but do ask this of the judge handling your Racism Appeal. #SkyAfterDark

BREAKING: Pauline Hanson is in hot water after it’s revealed she charged taxpayers thousands$ for flights, priv cars & hotels to attend her private court matter where it was found she Racially discriminated Mehreen Faruqi.
She classifies it as work.
Should pay it back & Resign.

Anti-fascist groups the US state department recently named as foreign terrorist organizations and accused of “conspiring to undermine foundations of western civilization” barely qualify as groups, let alone terrorist organizations, and pose no active threat to Americans. #Antifa is not groups
Anti-fascist groups named as US terror threats ‘barely exist’, experts say
Designation of groups from Italy, Germany and Greece labelled ‘ridiculous’ as experts say no active threat posed

From Jonathon Cook. If you think the UK isn’t a hollowing-out democratic project, you’re fooling yourself. One judge was ready to give Palestine Action a fair hearing. So he got switched out for 3 Tory Israel allies.

'The collapse of Antarctica's doomsday glacier is no longer a distant hypothetical. It is unfolding now, faster than scientists ever imagined. While the exact timeline remains uncertain, the direction of change is unmistakable. What happens in a remote corner of Antarctica will shape coastlines'

'Satellite images show widening cracks, collapsing ice cliffs, and meltwater channels forming across the surface. In some areas, the glacier is losing ice at rates never seen before.
Researchers studying nearby glaciers have reported retreat speeds up to ten times faster than historical norms'

"many western states assumed [the ICC] would be used only against their enemies or powerless nations. That this assumption no longer holds is itself a measure of western decline. Waging a campaign against judges who apply the law consistently will not arrest that fall. It will accelerate it."

So we are clear welfare spending in this country is NOT “out of control”. It’s risen very little in 10+ years. Small increase due to ageing & ill population. But benefits to working age families & children have been cut severely. Over 70% of children in poverty live in working families #Budget2025
