To the Left on the political spectrum. Welsh and pro devolution and a federal Britain. Interested in what directly affects me, so pro-EU, anti Trump US and anti-monarchy. Suffered under Thatcher, and hate ALL those parties to the Right.
Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...
“The political, strategic and economic momentum for a reversal of Brexit is growing” and ultimately, despite - and maybe partly because of - the idiotic Tory and Reform tantrums about it, it’s becoming unstoppable. Where there’s a will, there will be a way… giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Guy Standing: Why we all deserve a social dividend. In my latest podcast, I talk to Guy about the precariat, universal basic income, the rentier economy and the need to reclaim the commons. This is a very different view of the world. youtu.be/2CX2wlTWFDk?...

Kemi Badenoch is right. Water privatisation has been a success. For water company shareholders and top executives. Just not for the rest of us.
This is absolutely damning. A must-read.
Dan Neidle@danneidle.bsky.social · last wk.Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.
All these years later.... I'm STILL a member of The Resistance.

“There’s nothing so powerful in 🇬🇧politics as the rightwing unreality machine... It’s a place where Brexit will be cost free, Ed Miliband is a Marxist, Liz Truss was a serious political figure”…and Badenoch is shielded from her own X-fuelled mediocrity. goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/the-strang...
The Strange Myth of Kemi Badenoch
Why does she have the best press in politics?

Her contribution was just incredible. She showed a whole load of men where to go. Definitely a trailblazer ⭐️ Margaret Hamilton, trailblazer whose software powered Apollo 11 moon landing, dies aged 90 www.msn.com/en-gb/news/n...

British public opinion moves relentlessly in favour of rejoining the EU. Brexit has failed Britain.
I think the vast majority of the people of the world will agree with this.

Hats off to the Eye (as ever), for flagging the Conservative hypocrisy over our conference ban

The person responsible for carrying out the totally independent investigation into Reform and clearing the party of all wrongdoing has been identified.
Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.
I am a great admirer of Richard’s work. He’s a voice of sanity and reason, in a political world that is driven by populism, not honesty and economic sense.
Richard Murphy@richardjmurphy.bsky.social · last wk.Why are the Tories talking about inheritance tax? The economy is riddled with real problems that need attention, but the Tories are talking about their goal of widening the wealth divide. Why? youtu.be/R27sj9UZj3w?...
