99-percent using well researched evidence & whole-system view of UK economy to influence key politicians. Opposite to Farage & ex-Tory populists with their superficial populist slogans. Important decisions should be taken in interests of the vast majority."it's more complicated than it first seems"

It is good to see we seem to still have an independent court system. Something we need to guard from going the same way as USA.
NEW
The High Court rules the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful.
What did the judgment say and not say, and what has changed and not changed. And what happens next.

Well done for finding and sharing this evidence of Mandelson's poor memory. I won't be alone in not being surprised he is a lying toad!
Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.
Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

Wouldn't it be in UK's best interests to become part of the EU, or at least the customs union, again?
It does seem as if people are noticing there are no Brexit Benefits: only problems, and polls show a majority to rejoin.

2/12 There is a reason why Putin, Musk, Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Xi all spend fortunes to attack Brussels.
They do not hate the EU because it fails.
They hate it because of its potential.
Our unity is their nightmare

Femi’s final point that “ if you don’t get involved in politics these are the people who will be running your life” ( referring to the Farage supporter) should be a call to action for any decent tolerant person.

It seems odd to me that a Labour government should be be squeezing their potential core voters.
The Government is raising taxes on median earners (and low earners) by continuing the Tory freeze on tax thresholds. Such people should be paying less, not more tax!
Raising taxes on median earners would not only be a 'tough choice,' it would be an extremely bad one.

My only similar joke is "What's the trouble with Political Jokes? They get elected"
Q. How many Labour MPs does it take to change a light bulb?
A. 80, but they can’t find a spare bulb.

Yeah, but, you know, “tough choices”.
The key part here is how cozy they all are with the wealthy and the press magnates. Would be awkward to upset them when it’s time for dinner in town.
