We are six times more likely to be the victim of fraud (and it's getting worse) than theft. Yet political parties are stuck in the old-fashioned mantra of 'police on the beat not behind desks' labour.org.uk/press/labours-…

A UK national's citizenship is revoked. When she tries to contest the act, she's refused the right; delaying her right to justice by placing her into legal limbo.
And all in the land of Magna Carta ~

This is the man who turned Labour into a neoliberal Tory lite party; who has made tens of millions of pounds from brutal dictatorships & the invasion of Iraq - which led to the deaths of over a million people. I honestly don’t give a f*ck what he thinks about anything – at Camden Town, London
Ex-PM Tony Blair says Labour is "pressing the govt very hard" on #COVID19, and leader Keir Starmer is "doing a pretty good job".
But he adds that the pandemic is "not really a political challenge" and should not be a matter of "Labour or Tory".

In truth the Boris Johnson philosophy is limited to lying and cheating to earn what he considers to be his entitlement.
But speaking truth to power is not compatible with a career in client journalism
If @BorisJohnson has a political philosophy it is that he will not restrict our liberties unless there is an overwhelming reason to do so. That may prove to be sub-optimal in respect of our health and prosperity (public health and economics)...

I'll say it again. I sense the approach of a strong wave of 'blood on your hands' denunciations of dissenters in the weeks to come. Dissent is the only limit on Johnson's power to close down our lives. I think sceptics must all be prepared to take some hard pounding.
The alliance Stephen Dorrell seeks is the very thing that led us to where we are today.

“So we go into this happy new year knowing that our species has learned nothing, can, as a race, learn nothing—that the experience of 10000yrs has made no impression on the instincts of the million years that proceeded.”

Extremely surprised, in a good way, to wake up to an NYT science section article confronting basic — but controversial and uncomfortable and few people want to think about them — facts about using cows to produce milk. nytimes.com/2020/12/29/scien…
This episode is all about an unscrupulous politician and a dodgy businessman messing with a "security" product. They haven't considered the consequences because all they care about is votes and profits
