The FT has asked whether the global economy can survive another shock. That’s the question of our time. In this video, I explain why that’s a dangerous illusion, how neoliberal policy has made us fragile, and why only courageous governments can prevent systemic collapse. youtu.be/a8qtW9by3Wk?...

My 13yo’s idea for the imbalance of wealth is to cap accumulation at $100m and anything else has to go into a general fund to house, feed, and provide medical care to anyone in need.

The degree to which governments of ageing societies bow to right-wing populist pressure & curb immigration across the board is entirely irresponsible & maddening. They are actively hurting their own country, its people, its economy, its health & social welfare systems.

The mayor of London said the changes had "moved the goalposts".

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Is the crash happening? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10... Cryptocurrency markets crashed yesterday. More than $800bn was wiped off values. With stock markets massively overvalued at present, will the same thing happen there this week?

Is the crash happening?

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social
