Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.
We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

As the year ends I want to celebrate Bath’s small businesses which are vital to our city. Yet many face rising business rates & costs.
We @libdems.org.uk have long called for the unfair business rates system to be replaced. We need a system that supports businesses & encourages them to grow.

2026 marks ten years since the biggest self-inflicted economic fuck-up in modern British history. The Tory Party trashed the economy, tanked growth, wrecked living standards, then spent a decade blaming everyone else. And it all began because Cameron wanted to get rid of Farage.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
