When elected officials
worked
FOR THE PEOPLE.
The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

The media has. Labour have not. When asked about it by the media, the minister all but ruled it out.

Yesterday afternoon the Home Secretary ruled out the idea at least 5 times during the her time in the Commons yesterday.

It's not happening and who continue to say it either deliberately lying.

A tiny 2% tax on wealth above £10m, is a drop in the ocean for just 20k Brits - but would raise £24Bn with which we could do so much. Rachel Reeves needs to be brave, understand the people want this - even millionaires want this and there’s nothing to fear.

“There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”

This is the new image I meant to put as main pic. It shows the change in Thiel's holdings. Those letters NVDA stand for Nvidia and the words next to it are self-explanatory "SOLD ALL".

Thiel, the closest thing that Silicon Valley has to a bond villain, has pumped & dumped. So...what happens next?!?

This is really very good not least because, apart from its specific proposals, it actually articulates a coherent economic *strategy* - something which the UK hasn't had for a long time.
New essay out today by me and @acjsissons.bsky.social - ‘Getting Britain out of the hole: a plan for the economy’. You can read the whole thing here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk

Former MPs who then go on to work for lobbying firms should be banned from holding a parliamentary pass.

I don't care whether they want a haircut or a "cuppa with old colleagues."

It's not as if I have a pass from any of my old workplaces still.

@spotlightcorruption.org right to call this out.
Ex-MPs working for lobbyists use privileged access to parliament
A number of former politicians who are now paid to help influence policymakers have visited the parliamentary estate, but deny doing so for lobbying

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2
