The latest proposal for a new city named "Forest City" exemplifies the stealth trajectory of the zonification of Britain. www.forestcity.uk

You took part in the AS smear campaign against Corbyn. You're a liberal hypocrite jumping on a bandwagon when you could have backed a transformational policy agenda in 2017-19.

"This is not opposition to Conservative policy. This is enthusiastic continuation under a different logo. The political theatre of party conflict obscures a deeper continuity: both major parties are committed to what can only be called corporate capture of the state."
The EU is winding down freeports due to money laundering and tax evasion. Britain is expanding them.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament approves the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Decision needs ratified by Iran’s Security Council.
It would trap 20% of the world’s oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.
