Now that the world has its first trillionaires, perhaps it’s time to get serious at last about wealth taxes.
Here’s the case for taxing wealth that @HowardRReed and I made in a @fairnessfdn report last year:

It is, as it has always been, guns versus butter. We can carve out a space for a civilised society of care and community in a challenging world, or we can be a Prussian-grey barracks-country of austerity and war at the behest of the arms and tech companies. But we cannot be both.
Feb 27
Given the absence of countervailing forces in the Labour Party, their next incarnation is grimly obvious: militarism and war, the grey barracks anti-socialism of NATO and rearmament. John Healey, Paul Mason, Al Carns. Blood-soaked British nationalism against Russia, China, etc.

Labour has no serious plan to address threats we face. A government with no leadership, under a caretaker PM expected to be replaced imminently - it's chaos.

"For far too long... mainstream media in the UK has failed the public. It has downplayed the rise of the far right at home while helping manufacture consent for genocide abroad."
I make the case for why we need Zeteo UK (@zeteouk), which launched today:

The fact that Britain is so far from self-sufficient in food and energy, and has eroded so much domestic manufacturing capability, leaves the UK as a sitting duck in the face of the growing storms ahead.

Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide.
The experts already have.
A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide.
Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

Our firefighters stand with trans people
The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services.
Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

The absolute contempt with which redistribution is viewed within Labour is really something. Blue Labour types readily admit they’re against it.

The @TheGreenParty @ZackPolanski should also ask how Peter Mandelson arranged for UK to join Trump's Pax Silica, a project explicitly pursuing US AI supremacy with lock-ins and dependencies that will be hard to unravel.
Labour’s Palantir scandal.
Emails appear to show Peter Mandelson using his position to arrange access to government ministers for Palantir - the US military tech company with access to NHS Data.
We demand to know what access was arranged, what meetings took place, and what was discussed?

You are going to want to read this—which can be read as the @DemocracyCollab’s answer to the superficialities of the UK political and media debate and the bromides being peddled by Blair, Starmer, Streeting and Burnham.

Starmer will end up like some Gabriel Garcia Marquez character, figuratively and literally barricaded in Downing Street, equal parts despised and forgotten, walking the empty corridors until Burnham’s people finally come for him. A fitting end for a truly contemptible politician.
