The concern used to be that the Tories wanted to return us to Victorian levels of exploitation. It's rapidly becoming clear that they've replaced this plan with a return to full-on slavery. Can't fault their ambition...

'The dramatic rise and fall of Liz Truss last autumn showed the dangers of a government dependent on partisan think tanks. Her successor has not heeded the warning... rather than ending this approach to government, Rishi Sunak has presided over the resurgence of Policy Exchange, the largest right-leaning think tank, for which he himself once worked.'

A chaotic situation is always deliberately produced. Ask yourself who or what sort of creature could benefit from such a situation.

So Rishi Sunak has appointed Lee Anderson as deputy chairman of the Conservative Party. The Tories appear to be developing a side hustle in light entertainment. This isn't going to end well...

'A large majority of British voters believe the Conservative party is “institutionally corrupt” with senior members of the government more interested in “personal gain” than helping the country, according to an exclusive new poll...'

'Only a fool will think that these measures will be the end of it. The attacks will continue.' A good summary of the Government's anti-democratic agenda, and where things are headed unless we fight back.

Think one can answer this very quickly. Of course he has a private GP, if he and his cabinet cronies were reliant on the NHS then they wouldn't be running it into the ground.

@Pepsilora I tried it from within the UK, and got a message saying ppl in the uk can't access it. Another , I guess. Our government really doesn't want its citizens to access the rest of the world.

Moral cowardice and intellectual corruption are the natural concomitants of unchallenged privilege.

'My little friend Grildrig, you have made a most admirable panegyric upon your country; you have clearly proved, that ignorance, idleness, and vice, are the proper ingredients for qualifying a legislator; that laws are best explained, interpreted, and applied, by those whose interest and abilities lie in perverting, confounding, and eluding them...'

Eight journalists covering a protest on the M25 motorway were recently detained by police. Preemptively limiting media access is the hallmark of an authoritarian rather than democratic state.

Good piece by Sonia Sodha. It's a message which bears repeating given the hugely damaging impact of the prevailing narrative.

Don’t be taken in by that £50bn ‘fiscal black hole’. It’s just a dodgy Tory metaphor
