Keir Starmer’s government partnership with Blackrock will, as I have said many times over, privatise the UK. Everything is up for grabs Blackrock’s ’Infrastructure Imperative’ is targeting green spaces as a new financial asset in their portfolio. This is where deregulated free zones come in, they carve out patchworks of corporate sovereignties with separate laws and regulations from the host country. In the 8 years I have been researching free zones, not one MSM or ‘alternative news’ outlet has investigated the post Brexit resurrection of Thatcher’s free zones by both the Tories, and Labour. Why? It is down to secondary legislation. The UK wide rollout of free zones was rubber stamped by the Tories, and secretly backed by Labour MPs, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses who sat on the Freeports/SEZs boards in England, Scotland, and Wales. Zero debate in Parliament, zero consultation with the public, and zero notification of the press. This why next to no one has heard of free zones. UK Freeports, SEZs, Industrial Strategy Zones, Food Enterprise Zones, University Enterprise Zones, and the digital layer of AI Growth Zones are leeching billions in State aid for profit motives, which is illegal in the EU. This is the real reason behind Brexit. This is why Starmer says no rejoining the EU Single Market or Customs Union in his lifetime. Deregulated free zones would disrupt and distort the EU’s Single Market. The contracts on UK free zones were set for 25 years. Do you get it now? open.substack.com/pub/europe…

Trump Says Europe Is Weak. The Data Says He's Wrong. By purchasing power, the EU alone matches the United States: roughly $28 trillion versus $29 trillion. Add the UK, and Europe pulls ahead. Include Norway and Switzerland, and you're looking at $34 trillion in combined economic weight. Europe is meaningfully larger than the US by the measure that actually matters.

Truth to power. #WASPI

If this is truly “ideological”, and Labour would always have proposed abolishing juries *irrespective* of the court backlog because it’s a fabulous, modern way of doing justice, then I have just one question… Why wasn’t it in your manifesto?

2026 will be a year when the UK Government delivers real change to communities across Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Wishing you all a very happy & prosperous New Year. Secretary of State for Scotland @D_G_Alexander

Markets are not natural, spontaneous or free. They are legal, institutional and political creations of the state. Without law, money, regulation, wages, accounting standards and trust, markets collapse into monopoly, coercion and extraction. In this New Year’s Day video, I explain why the neoliberal myth of “free markets” is not just wrong, but actively destructive — and why rebuilding the state, rethinking capital and restoring democratic accountability must define our economic direction for 2026. Markets are tools. It's up to society to set their purpose. youtu.be/vAkkZXfxb9Y?si=7ijO…

👊🏻😡👊🏻😡👊🏻😡👊🏻😡 If we allow Trump to impose US rubbish crap chicken on us, farmers wont be able to export meat etc to the EU. Nor will the UK be admitted to the single market. Just what Farage wants …. Making us a vassal of the US

The United States is the perfect example of Capitalism The richest country in the world with the largest most expensive army. The most people in prison, the lowest life expectancy, the highest medical costs, the highest murder rate and 60% of people living in poverty

30/4/24 Negotiator: Public wants UK’s 1.55m derelict & empty homes revived. In 2023, Census & Local Authority data showed £532bn of homes were empty & abandoned in England & Wales (not 2nd homes etc). Westminster has 36k, Cornwall 28k & Birmingham 26k. thenegotiator.co.uk/news/uk-…

Ha! It seems British farmers are outraged at the influx of Australian beef. Well here's a thing ! Fire up your tractors & form a queue outside Tory Party HQ. Or maybe picket Sunak's North Yorks mansion ?

Ever wonder how some billionaires can get away with paying such low tax rates compared to working class Americans? Here’s their secret playbook and what we can do about it.

Who saw that coming?

A week on Monday the phony war is over & the fight for Scottish independence begins. May 7th is an opportunity to lay down a marker that the people of Scotland want to determine their own future. This time we win!

99% of people believe government deficits are a financial disaster. They are 100% wrong. A government deficit is not a bug in the system; it is a feature. When the government spends more than it taxes away, it isn't pouring money into a black hole. It is making a direct financial contribution to the private sector. One person’s deficit is another person’s surplus. I am sitting down with Richard Murphy to explain why the "debt crisis" is a myth designed by people who don't understand basic accounting.
