Labour stopped trying to out-Reform Reform. They're now up in the polls. The Tories stopped trying to out-Reform Reform. They're now up in the polls. Amazing what happens when you stop aping the worst people in the room.

Target pensions or welfare, don't tax banks, neoliberal IMF tells UK Chancellor. Silence on corporate welfare, bank subsidies and profiteering; poverty, equitable distribution of income and wealth. Sacrificing the old, poor, sick to the gods of fiscal rules, so that banks are not inconvenienced.

These aren’t jobs, they’re unpaid placements. Employers will probably abuse this. Burnham churning out more neoliberal nonsense, after he blatantly stood for election on the basis that he’d end neoliberalism. Andy Burnham is lying to you, the man is a shameless neoliberal.

To have a shot at meeting our climate targets, "we can't have any new oil and gas." Funding new fossil fuels is "irresponsible and short-sighted." These aren't my words - they're past statements from our current Energy Secretary. So I asked her - what's changed?
