Great to see UK government paying more attention to improving security of online public services. However, if you make someone go online for public services right now you expose them to scams, frauds, and other risks inherent in just being online. The government must do more to reduce THOSE risks!

The UK for one has used mail-in voting for decades with no controversy. I ALWAYS cast a postal vote.

However, I've never really understood voting machines – they seem to be an obvious target for skulduggery, like when King Donald the Mad won all those swing states with the help of his pal, Elon.
This is for anyone who still believes he “legitimately won”

Of course he will end Mail In voting.

He didn’t win. And he got away with it.

Remember being told
tax cuts for millionaires
would enrich us all
when all it did
was turn millionaires into billionaires
as our hard earned cash
disappeared into offshore tax haven accounts

Whether it's gun control or watching America be destroyed by greed-driven fascist-friendly billionaires, Australia makes an rational assessment about what's best for the country as a whole, and unlike America, does something about it.

In the sixth largest economy, millions of Britons rely on food banks.

No curbs on profiteering. Energy prices up 44% since 2021-22.

Thousands of people can't afford heating, rely on community ‘warm spaces’.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts appease the rich.

This video is completely correct.

£3bn a year has been taken from the NHS to give to US billionaires because Donald Trump demanded it, in return we get nothing.

And MPs don't even get a vote on it.

Larry Ellison, the world’s 2nd-richest man, predicts an AI surveillance state where “we’re constantly recording & reporting everything.”

Are we headed toward a future where every call, text, email & search is tracked by billionaires?

That's not democracy. It's authoritarianism.

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.

Something that is never factored into the published cost of nuclear energy, a near century long clean up. We pay for this. Current bill, £120 billion and climbing. Sizewell C will be just more of the same. Expensive power and a toxic legacy for thousands of years.
