Whatever you do, don’t let people know that the government can actually do anything. It’s a house of cards: once we stave off social unrest by spending our own freely created currency, the bastards will be wanting well-paid jobs, homes and shorter surgery waiting lists.
Corporate welfare:
Starting in October, just before Sainsbury’s would start otherwise employing people for the Christmas rush…
Free advertising and free labour!

British "democracy" is an empty husk, hollowed out by a grossly unrepresentative voting system and mega-donors who have captured the political class.
Now in power, Burnham has scrapped a commitment to electoral reform and is ditching a pledge to cap political donations. 🤔
The UK says the “famine” in Gaza was “man-made”. The perpetrator being the power still being armed by Britain, with whom it maintains an unmodified military accord, on whom it refuses to impose comprehensive sanctions. https://t.co/nPFQVg1JJB
I feel rather proud to have gone from being just a domestic terrorist to being a global terrorist.
It's a bit like Scotland qualifying for the World Cup finals.
Cofnas's statement about blacks 'disappearing' in a true meritocracy is often the only one cited. Linked below is a compilation of others - very revealing, for instance black people are genetically "adapted to hunting and gathering on the savanna”. Hundreds of 'liberal' academics have signed a petition supporting the author of this drivel. https://t.co/WTexT3yhC7?
"Bold action on climate" without bold spending is just messaging. A currency issuer can afford the real transition. The question isn't money, it's whether we'll stop pretending it is.

Electricity sector profit margins:
UK 23% - 38%
Spain 11% - 13%
Germany 9 - 11%
France 6 - 9%
But, apparently, the reason UK electricity is most expensive is Net Zero.
We have just received news of one of our most exciting recoveries. A Sedge Warbler ringed on Salisbury Plain in August 2025 was retrapped by ringers in Morocco in March 2026. We know Sedge Warblers winter in Africa but it's brilliant to see it evidenced like this.
The Met police is increasing its use of facial recognition at Notting Hill Carnival this weekend 🚨
If you're attending, make sure you know what your rights are.

Hang on @andyburnham are the 10,000 work experience places at Sainsbury's unpaid? 😮
Why do you expect to get paid £164,347.42 from Sainsbury's in donations, but don't expect the 10,000 young people on work experience to get paid?

Since August this year, the smallest developments in England (those 0.2 hectares or smaller) no longer have to deliver biodiversity net gain (BNG). We analysed 505 biodiversity gain plans and 320 readable statutory metric calculations. We found this:

Prime Minister Andy Burnham came to Lambeth yesterday to promote Sainsbury's workfare scheme for 10,000 young people to work for free in their supermarkets.
Sainsbury's cut 3000 jobs last year while simultaneously posting a £1 billion profit.
Strangely the Leader of Lambeth Council was not invited.
Lambeth's young people deserve better than this; quality apprenticeships and training that provide them with the skills, experience and pay to live and thrive in our borough.
Andy Burnham promised to "end neoliberalism" but supporting a scheme to provide free labour for Billion pound companies will only serve to perpetuate it.
"Not in education, employment or training" frames joblessness as a youth problem. It's a policy choice. A currency issuer can always offer work at a living wage.
