I'd love you to go to PI but as a longish time subscriber(10 years+ possibly) what other tracks would a cash boost help to get you to go there? You're content is fantastic and if framed appropriately I'm sure subslsibers would chip in to get you to other tracks

Yeah, forgetting the shit timing of it

The best track ever. Your Motomatters readers deserve the chance to inflict this ridiculously long travel schedule on you. Would be amazing, fantastic

10. There’s much more, but I’ll leave it there, in the hope that maybe you can begin to understand that Starmer’s detractors aren’t just the bitter, never-satisfied cynics and saboteurs of your imagination, but might actually have a point. Thank you.

9. B. Does it give business lobbyists what they want? To just as great an extent as the Tories, this government has allowed corporate lobbyists to shape its agenda and shut down competing options. When you see the whole picture, it’s breath-taking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

8. Perhaps above all, it’s the way policy is decided. There seem to be two main determinants.
A. Will this stick it to the Labour left? The whole country must suffer for Starmer’s factional war. Good, progressive policies are blocked or delayed because they would look like a concession.

7. The failure to change our disastrous electoral system, which might gift the UK to Reform on a small share of the vote, can, I feel, be understood as a matter of putting party over country and faction over party.

Starmer could improve our unfair electoral system to stop the hard right, but he won’t. All the party has left are threats about ‘splitting the vote’, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

6. Its misallocation of resources on climate has also been deeply shocking. It is sluicing public money into Carbon Capture and Storage not because it works (it doesn’t) but because it’s a finacial lifeline for the fossil fuel industry.

5. For me, a massive frustration has been the government’s war on nature: falsely pitching wildlife against human welfare, tearing down essential protections for the tiny scraps of ecosystem that remain here.

4. Its repeated assaults on benefits - first resisting, beyond all reason, its backbenchers’ demands to end the Tories' vicious two-child benefit cap, before finally relenting, then seeking to throw people with disabilities into the ditch - has been grim beyond belief.

3. Then there’s the government’s parroting of Reform UK lines on immigration and small boats, despite all the evidence showing that when centrists ape the extreme right they simply empower it. It even went so far as to mimic Reform’s branding: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

2. Linked to its alignment with the Netanyahu government is the Labour government’s assaults on the right to protest at home. Assaults that would have stopped the Labour movement in its tracks:
