Can’t help thinking that a state depending on individual revelation for salvation is a badly-designed state.

The world needs two Supreme Court justices to wake up and think. “Christ almighty, what have I done?” Otherwise I can only see things getting worse.

Labour must demonstrably and vocally own:
1. Closer ties with the EU
2. Net zero
3. A respectful, no more, relationship with the US
4. Uncompromising hostility to racism
Then hope the economy improves. Yes, it's what I want but it's also what most voters want. Only Reform voters don't. Forget them.

When I look back on my life, I cannot believe how lucky I've been. It would be all but impossible for someone with my background now. The post-1945 welfare state created opportunities for millions that were previously unattainable. Sadly, we're regressing to how it was pre-WW2. It's such a waste.

Luke helped save Labour from far-left, anti-Semitic entryism, but it seems his motives were rooted in a factional hatred of the soft left rather than anything else. How else do you explain this destructive nonsense?
There’s nothing so intoxicating as to drown in your own ideology, but unfortunately when you drown you sometimes take the rest of us with you.

The US government is now freely killing people at sea, in other lands, and on its own streets.
It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

We have almost exactly this problem in the UK, where the current Labour govt has demonstrated reluctance to pursue the many corrupt Tories who profited criminally from the pandemic, particularly the most senior politicians.
It arises from misguided fear of bringing the entire system into disrepute.
