Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit.
Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.

Right-wing press and ideologues will have you believe that the UK is the most heavily taxed place.
They promise the impossible, European/Scandinavian levels of social security with American levels of taxation.

Yet another example of how the British right-wing press is in the pocket of the fossil fuel lobby. Still.
As Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally:
There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024
That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.
