The Monstrous Anger of the Guns, Pluto Press, covers the corrupting & often cyclical nature of the global arms trade. A good primer. At a signing, Corbyn urged everyone to keep big money out of politics & Feinstein sighed that they can’t update the book monthly, with Orange One in Oval Office.

3/3 crucial oversight on this is summed up by Caroline Knowles in her book Serious Money (2022). London has half a million high net worth individuals & more billionaires than either New York, Hong Kong, or Moscow.
Our capital is a plutocrats’ playground. They can afford it. Disabled people can’t.

The life and writing of a distant cousin, Arthur Gordon Richardson who died for Britain in WW2. Rendered beautifully by features journo Wendy Varley my mum.
