The UK economy basically works like this: Get paid £2,000. Give £900 to a landlord. Give £200 to the council. Give £150 to energy companies. Give £300 to supermarkets. Give £300 to car insurance and fuel. Spend the rest surviving until next payday. Then get lectured by someone who bought their house for £37,000 in 1988 about how you need to stop buying coffees and cancel subscriptions.

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone. It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off. Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now. We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

We’re in final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It’s now consuming public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.

#CancelHS2 and give £2k to every UK adult
Hilariously by the time it opens in 2039 HS2 will be... The most expensive high speed railway in the world. The slowest high speed railway in the world. The longest time to build railway in the world. And the shortest high speed railway in the world. One word, CORRUPTION.

Today the government set out its legislative agenda for the year ahead. It did so on a day when the Prime Minister’s own MPs are calling for his resignation following last week’s election results. Parliament will spend the next twelve months debating and passing these bills. The public will have no direct input on any of it. That is what House of the People is here to change.

We love to find villains in politics. Corrupt politicians. Out of touch leaders. Greedy donors. But swap out every politician in Westminster tomorrow and the same complaints will follow within a year. Why? Because the structure remains the same. House of the People is not here to find better politicians. It is here to build a better system. houseofthepeople.com

Never forget what they took from us...

What if democracy worked like jury duty? That’s exactly what we’re launching in Connecticut. In Wethersfield last Friday we announced the Connecticut Citizens’ Assembly on Property Taxes—a new effort to tackle the state’s property tax system by bringing together 100 residents chosen by lottery to study the issue and develop real solutions. This initiative is being led in partnership with Connecticut State Comptroller @SeanScanlonCT, @joedelongCCM of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, and a research team based at Yale University (including Josh Kalla and myself), in collaboration with Michael Morrell at @UConn. Watch the press release here: youtube.com/watch?v=EVmUN2iA… #Connecticut #PropertyTaxes #CitizensAssembly #Yale

Look what has just surfaced. In black and white, a letter from Olly Robbins dated July 2025 states that Lord Peter Mandelson was directly appointed by Ministers - not officials - because they wanted to use his “political experience and skill”. This completely destroys Starmer’s story. Olly Robbins has been thrown under the bus after a lifetime as a top civil servant, and now even he is exposing the truth. What ministers were these, Keir?You’ve been caught lying again. Why were you so desperate to force Mandelson into that job? What exactly does he have on you? This is a national security scandal and Starmer is at the centre of it.

In the Labour leadership election, Starmer committed to implement 10 pledges including comprehensive nationalisation of utilities, tuition fee abolition, and raising taxes on the rich. None of these pledges made it into Labour’s manifesto. He is the biggest liar in Parliament.
He is many things but Keir Starmer is not a liar.
Community note
Keir Starmer has lied repeatedly. His statement that he didn't know is predated by this independent article. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

The Prime Minister is either incompetent, gullible or a liar. Or all three.
