It’s worth buying this fortnight’s Private Eye for a devastating analysis of Teesworks, the failed levelling up Freeport. Something which the #NAO has been told to avoid.

UK, esp 🏴, is in a mess.
Rather than trying to copy Reform it’s not too late for Starmer to start projects for big (long term) change:
Restructure local government
Local taxes
Devolved powers
Full revision of central taxes
Abolish National Insurance
etc
Vision please, Labour!

Billionaires and short term Private Equity businesses etc., are held in high regard.
They shouldn’t be:-
1. They don’t pay a fair amount of tax.
Because-
2. They don’t believe in the State.
Therefore-
3. They fund rw think-tanks which propound misinformation, no matter who owns the media.

Billionaires own almost the entire Media so Journalism doesn't exist.
Because the most powerful people do almost all the bad things.
But they will NEVER tell on themselves.
So we just get boring racist lies.

Then she forgot all about Fuel Duty being frozen for over a decade by the previous shitty govt.
Now she’s messing up the tax returns of every household which contains someone receiving a state pension.

Transphobia is the successful wedge issue that fascism uses to infect people and fill them full of hate. Our existence harms nobody but shatters the lie, central to fascism, that there exists natural hierarchies, that some people are naturally superior by fact of birth.

Quick story about how profoundly JK Rowling has changed.
She once sought to help a young woman of colour who, she believed (rightly), had been targeted by a notorious right wing self publicist working with Jonathan Ames and then thrown under a bus by Edinburgh Uni. She wanted me to assist.

I just met, by accident, an Afghan chap age about 30. He came over on a small boat earlier this year. He explained in broken English why he left the country of his birth: Taliban dictatorship.
I said he’s welcome and wished him success.

Just remember: Starmer could have used his speech on immigration to explain to people how Brexit has made immigration explode, and that that's why we need to rejoin the Single Market with Freedom of Movement. But he chose instead to follow Farage down his xenophobic rabbit hole.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s been blindingly obvious for nearly a decade 😡
Its starting to look like, especially given Starmer's prioritisation of US and India trade deals against the will of his own people, Brexit was a fascist plot (US, Israel, Russia, etc..) to break up the EU and let large multinational corporations and finance firms move in to exploit everything.
UK-India trade deal increases GDP 0.1%
Brexit lowers GDP by 5%
▶️Goldman Sachs: -5%
▶️Centre for European Reform: -5.2%
▶️National Institute of Economic and Social Research: -5–6%
▶️Cambridge Econometrics -5%
The reason services are underfunded? Brexit
