It is a political choice to keep children in poverty whilst billionaire and multimillionaire wealth grows larger.
@greenparty.org.uk has today written to the Chancellor urging her to use the next week's Budget to tax wealth fairly, cut bills and deliver real change.

Lets just say The Greens do overtake Labour and are still in front of them come the election, Labour will do the decent thing and step aside for the good of the nation.
That's something they are willing to do, right?

Here's my Tilly Norwood take: Congratulations you've all been played! The point was to generate controversy and noise so we all end up knowing about it.
Ngl, I was taken in as I thought it was just some dickheads messing about, thus the 4chan humour, but it wasn't and we're all dancing to their tune

Question for Man Utd fans:
After all that you have been through why on earth do you think swapping the manager yet again will be the fix to your problems? And which manager do you think can actually fix your problems? #manutd

When we talk about immigration we always talk about pull factors, about people wanting to come here and, depending on your politics, to either work or sponge (or sometimes both if you are swivel eyed). But we never talk about the push factors.

This article makes some great points (in a very lib way) but one does worry me, which is the idea of "ignore it and it will go away". The far right has to be directly confronted otherwise it will just keep pushing boundaries like a child.
I spent much of yesterday at the Tommy Robinson march. I couldn’t find a way to write about it that didn’t sound contentious and maybe even condescending – so I didn’t try. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...
Tommy Robinson’s march was a drunken, coked-up mess
He claimed the world was watching, but most of London barely noticed - and much of what was on view was appalling

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

I hate the phrase "elites" as it fundamentally concedes that those people who are at the top actually do belong there and that the rest of us are jealous.
The truth is that they were lucky. Either by birth or by being in the right place at the right time.
Success is, for the most part, random.

Hi Adrian, this deserves a long answer, so this might stretch across a few posts. Sorry about that! So... In normal times, I am largely in favour of harm reduction when voting. No party is perfect, but some parties are clearly less harmful than others – so pick the "least harm" option.

Found this a really interesting video as I like the idea of Public Sector Net Wealth. If we look at government spending more like investing then we might end up with an actual good country.
And remember kids - Privatisation, not even once.
