Labour is sinking so fast in my estimation that I now think it could already be worse than the government of Liz Truss, and could be very much worse soon.

×Who and what are we defending in the UK? It’s a question in need of an answer. As politicians and politicians demand more defence spending, whose rights are we defending, and so who should pick up the bill?
The MAGA put Trump back in the White House, but like Biden before him, nothing he’s doing is going to make ordinary Americans feel better off, and we know what they did to the Democrats as a result.
The Bank of England could make our lives a lot better by changing some of its policies, but it shows no sign of doing so. Why then do we tolerate its supposed independence when that is used to undermine our well-being?

Funding the Future

Rachel Reeves suffers with the nickname ‘Rachel form Accounts’. Only it looks like her own accounting has not been that good, and nor is her CV all she claims it to be. But is the real story that her colleagues want her out?

Funding the Future

Trump says we need to spend five per cent of our GDP on defence. That would increase the spend from £60 billi0on to £140 billion. What are the consequences of that?
Starmer is aping Nigel Farage’s anti-migrant rhetoric when no-one would worry about migration if Labour delivered what people want from the government.
When markets realise Trump is serious about tariffs, and that the US is now an isolationist state, seeking to cut itself off from the rest of the world, they're going to react, and we’ll get a crash.
I am bored by politicians who pretend that there are ‘isms’ that create political divides in the UK. There aren’t. All our political parties are virtually interchangeable. In that case let’s talk about meeting needs, not political paint scoring.
Everyone but the government seems to agree that young people need a proper education in finance before leaving school, and there is a pot of money available to pay for it.
Trump wants to sanction those working for the International Criminal Court who are seeking to uphold international law. He’s reached the point where he’s saying he has the right to declare what is right to be wrong.
Curing diseases is not a very profitable activity for drug companies. Managing sick people is. So, do drug companies really want to cure diseases, or do they want us to all be sick for as long as possible?
Trump is setting out to create chaos. That he’s doing so is not an accident. It’s deliberate. Can we react in time to save anything of value in the world that we’ve known?
Top-down thinking tells us what we can’t do because it assumes things aren’t possible, which is exactly what our politicians keep saying. Is it time to liberate ourselves with some bottom-up thinking?
Trump is bringing financial markets down whilst increasing tensions inside and outside the USA. How long is it before he delivers a meltdown?

Funding the Future

Young people are giving up on democracy because our politicians are giving up on them. But it’s not democracy that’s at fault – it is our politicians who are. We need a politics that delivers for young people, or the future is very bleak.
The world’s developing countries mainly owe their debts in dollars. Trump is, however, making it harder for them to earn dollars, and is trying to inflate the dollar’s value. The result will be massive poverty.
Anyone can become an MP. No training is required, and them they set the rules for everyone else. That’s absurd. All prospective parliamentarians and councillors should have to take an exam to prove their competence.
Fire and flooding are making houses uninsurable. Will this crash the housing market? There are strong signs it will, unless the government takes action.
The DeepSeek AI model challenges US capitalism at its very core – suggesting its whole model of creating value for a few by extracting maximum revenues from people as a result of the abuse of monopoly power might have to end.
Rachel Reeves thinks people want deregulation, growth and big infrastructure from government, She’s wrong. They want government that works, better jobs and lower interest rates.
Charter cities are a right-wing fantasy. They’re being prompted by the same people who gave us the economics of Liz Truss. And they’d be even more harmful than she was.
UK consumers think there’s trouble ahead and are cutting their spending as a result. That’s the combined fault of the Bank of England and Rachel Reeves, and no one else but them can put matters right.
People are claiming Bitcoin is the new gold. It isn’t. It is nothing like gold. But more than that we don’t need to be on the gold standard ever again. It destroyed the world economy.
Labour is sinking so fast in my estimation that I now think it could already be worse than the government of Liz Truss, and could be very much worse soon.
Trump’s first few days in office make it clear he’s either mad or bad, because there are no other explanations available for what is happening. But is it possible he’s both?
Politicians claim countries must be run like households, and that’s completely wrong. In fact, most often the exact opposite is true.
£23 billion of benefits are not paid in the UK a year. Why is it that finding those who are due to be paid is not a national priority?
Trump’s second arrival in the White House marks a shift in political economy. We’re entering the Age of Aggression – a new era in political economy. After WW2 we had the Age of Compassion. Neoliberalism was the Age of Indifference. Now we have naked force taking control.
Trump was slow to get going in his first presidency. This time he’s planning on an impact from day one, and that impact could be horrible, and the repercussions terrible.
Labour’s plan for government is based on some vague aspirations that are almost meaningless, and probably undeliverable. So, what should it do?
