Devolution of 16-19 education funding, announced by prime minister Andy Burnham over the summer, will be gradual rather than 'one big bang' across the country.

Crooked Labour won’t work with Greens in England, but happy to work with far-right bigots of Reform & corrupt Tories in Scotland.
And what happened, PM, to your big talk about devolution & local people making their own decisions without UKGovt control? Labour hypocrites.

How many times did John Healey repeat the phrase 'breathing space' in his Budget speech?

While there were some bold statements on devolution, the 2026 Budget actually fails to provide meaningful support for families in poverty, writes Ruth Patrick.

How can you sensibly argue that that UK cannot evolve when in the last 30 years we have had the Belfast Agreement, the Lisbon Treaty, the removal of hereditary peers from the Lords, Brexit, the Human Rights Act, 3 rounds of Scottish devolution, 2 rounds of Welsh devolution NI devolution,

Sadiq Khan described last week’s Budget as the most pro-London since he became mayor. But this reflects its pro-urban measures, not a swing away from regional growth.

The key changes are about how projects are funded 👇

I'm not going to go into the details of the UK's neutered devolution and how the UK is 3 countries & an occupied territory yet governed pretty much by england on a random bluesky skeet dude. In real world terms the UK acts and is presented as one country. It is simpler to call it a country.

Reagan the Snake-Charmer “And we have no such leanings or even understand them, so we’ve all seen clearly what was done: Hating the truth of the grinning farmer, you have turned and bowed to the lying leaders, like your most recent president, the W, and especially the one who in 1980 began the process of stomping out the truth that had flowered earlier giving us all hope. While those presidents did much harm, why the one is even being honored as somehow great, even as his legacy may be that he destroyed the only chance this planet had of making it through a hundred years. “And, ironically enough this buffoon king is revered just as your world descends into an economic collapse he set in motion. And this starvation of ability that is his legacy could be of a kind that might just be the thing that eliminates all hope ... for we see a globe lacking in resources to fight for its very life in the biggest struggle for survival ever seen on this multi-… PROLOGUE: KEYNOTE OF THE GREAT REVEAL Page 21

Sixth Descent — Mistrust Both traumas — birth trauma and fetal malnutrition — contributed to the growth of that Ego and affected our personalities in many and varied ways. Part of this was the way it made imperfect humans even more lacking in caring for their infants. Thus we “acquired” even more primal pain because of insufficient satisfaction of needs. Mistrust of Nature Led to Control Compulsion Altogether we learned, early in our lives, that the world around us could not be relied on. Consequently, we began an ever-increasing mistrust of the world, which manifested, critically, in our relation to Nature and our feelings about how well we could have our needs met in it. Since we mistrusted, we began controlling. Control came in to fill the gap of mistrust that lay between need and satisfaction. INTRODUCTION Page 12
