"Feel" better. Not are better. Who do they "feel better" for, I wonder?

GPLB: "Sunak on economy: 'things are starting to feel better'"

The latest Ian Dunt missive is spot on. It’s on Substack, but I like his work so much I hold my nose and read it there.

Labour is inching towards the right small boats policy.

Ignore the noise: The right compromises are being made and the wrong ones are being avoided.

The same Nelson Mandela who said "Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”
Lammy sinking ever lower to try to justify the genocide enabling and incipient authoritarianism.

Why is Britain’s mental health so incredibly poor? It’s because our society is spiralling backwards

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/10/britain-mental-health-society-neoliberalism-politicians

"There is a reason for these broken promises and dysfunctions, which explains why the UK suffers more from them than most comparable nations. It’s called neoliberalism.|

Very good video from Led by Donkeys on the disgraceful way the Tory government treats asylum seekers in the UK.

It’s Labour’s turn to crash and burn as party can’t defend Elphicke’s defection

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/09/labour-crash-and-burn-party-cant-defend-natalie-elphicke-defection

Crace does nail much of the hypocrisy.

“That’s odd, observed Rajan. Because you forced Labour’s North of Tyne mayoral hopeful, Jamie Driscoll, out of the party for sharing a platform with Ken Loach. And Diane Abbott is still not allowed back in despite having apologised for her antisemitic remarks.”

The minister or ministers for independence?

Journalist and commentator Peter Oborne:
"Muslims who rejected the rotten two-party system in the local elections were voting patriotically and deserve praise...British Muslims made a massive intervention in the May elections. They abandoned Labour, voting instead for independent parties which support a ceasefire and have condemned Israeli atrocities in Gaza."

All these stories about certain racist, hate-filled people crossing the floor and defecting to the Labour party, and no one has picked up the real story yet.

The Labour party has defected to the Tory party. They are now one.

⚡ Smart meter data can reveal your lifestyle habits and choices ⚡

The UK government rolled out smart meters with the pledge that they'd never share this data without the consent of users.

Then they started collecting it for 'fraud detection' to share it with credit agencies, local authorities and debt collectors.

They reduced the amount of data being collected under pressure by ORG.

BUT they're at it again ⬇️

The will make it easier for the UK government to turn private companies into informants through new legal grounds for data sharing and Ministerial powers to expand these purposes.

The government's disrespect of data rights is underpinned by the weak enforcement approach of the Information Commissioner's Office.

Public shaming, rather than legally binding enforcement actions and penalties, makes it possible to ignore data protection laws.

John Swinney cannot afford to treat independence as an afterthought

https://www.thenational.scot/politics/24307606.swinney-cannot-afford-treat-independence-afterthought/

Independence keeps the party together. Competent management of the Scottish economy and support of society are essential, but without independence they are nothing.
