Just so we are clear when the Labour government says there’s no money, they mean no money for NHS, no money for the elderly, no money for disabled… but plenty of cash slopping around to support wars.
Here’s £10,000,000,000 they found for that.

Completely hidden in today's budget was the 1% cut to maintaining and building hospitals, schools, prisons, Civic buildings, railways, stations, every Public owned building in the UK
So £4.6bn a year more can go on building bombs and fighting stupid wars

This is the most important midterm election in modern American history. Here’s why.

The government's plan is unraveling fast. While families suffer the banks are celebrating getting off lightly.
The choice is clear - either we boost incomes and cut bills, or this country risks falling further into despair and distrust.

We don't have to accept this slop.
We can demand a better future.

Remove standing charges... and increase the price per unit to cover the cost. So you pay the same.
I know this. It seems unlikely that BBC journalists don't. They're just choosing not to tell you.
Chancellor John Healey has announced he will remove standing charges from household gas bills for tens of millions of people.
Jon & Sally had initial details on #BBCBreakfast with the government estimating that 60% of households will save an average of £45 per year.

I now have two sources close to Susie Wiles who claim that Trump is preparing a vast misinformation campaign for November 4th, built around conspiracy theories alleging widespread election fraud.
The plan? Declare victory regardless of the results, accuse Democratic officials of manufacturing ballots overnight, claim voting machines were secretly manipulated, and demand that Republican candidates refuse to concede.
In this scenario, the goal isn’t to prove fraud. It’s to convince millions of Americans that any election Republicans lose must have been stolen.

We've waited patiently for a plan to end neoliberalism. We won't wait anymore.
We need rent controls
We need a wealth tax
We need *serious* cuts to energy bills
Instead it's a few pence off gherkins & a payout which the experts say won't touch the sides on energy bills.

Verizon
Tax break: $2.5 billion

Why is there a lack of coverage about this?
#YourVoiceMatters
#JasonArday has been cleared of plagiarism for a fourth time. Why is the media silent about it?
As another investigation ends without substantiating plagiarism claims, @richardsudan asks who will hold the British media accountable for its treatment of the pioneering Black academic?👇🏿

Reading Cory Doctorow's Enshittification
"When ICC issued a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest ... Microsoft turned off the court's Outlook service. Without warning the justices lost their email, their documents, their calendars, their address books... "
Microsoft claims this was a coincidence. Doctorow does not believe them

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt has been made to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

Today’s budget looks like being worse for our future and the young than even anything Starmer came up with.
A budget based on approval of mass new oil drilling is a betrayal of our future.
EXCL: The giant Rosebank oilfield can be approved without breaching the UK’s emission targets, according to government insiders, in a boost to those in the cabinet who are pushing for it to be given the go-ahead.
Sources also say the Treasury has already accounted for billions of pounds’ worth of tax revenue from Rosebank and so would be faced with a shortfall should it be rejected.

DON'T our societies care about rape of girls & women?

Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields.
He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future"
We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense.
Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

Evidence from the Covid Inquiry is now overwhelming — @MattHancock's failures during the pandemic led to thousands of avoidable deaths.
Removing Hancock from the Privy Council would be a small step towards accountability.
