Great interview by John Samuelson focusing on fighting for working people

Agree about the dishonest comment not sure about worst. David Cameron created the mess we face today started 14 years of austerity and the rest that followed. That created the ground for Boris Johnson to thrive.

Sorry freudian slip its not a fine but compensation about time rogue bosses paid for breaking the law.

@tuc.org.uk good news for working people. Surprised that the lords would delay helping ordinary working people. Unlimited fines for breaking the law will certainly deter people lime P&O ferries so is the right thing to do

Continued….. A vote on keeping healthcare in the US without linking to a shutdown is will be important. A denial of a vote will be just as important.
Republicans have a choice give a vote or deny a vote this year. Or give American voters a choice in the mid terms to reverse the cuts!

I watch with it interest the decision to end the shutdown in the USA. A swallow doesnt make a summer. so a victory in New York New Jersey and Virginia doesnt make a summer. In the UK voters are anti governing party as it is safe to do so but will they vote the same a general election? Continued..

I do despair sometimes about the complaints of the influence of bond markets. If govts dont want a wide tax base and people want public service then someone has to pay. He who pays the piper then calls the turn. The answer is self sustaining economies tax revenue meets outgoings. Just like at home

Obviously as a BBC host I’m hardly impartial. OTOH the polarised - in both directions - comments on the FT piece very clearly show the challenge. Here’s a representative one… R4 as ‘violently-left’…

Happy birthday to our NHS 🥳

This a thought provoking and interesting article worth reading

This very true from our birth to our death we need a roof over our head. How is that when ever you look at housing waiting list they are like the mythical horn of plenty always filling up. With houses come roads schools hospitals and the rest. Growth

Very good piece.

Good explanation, especially on what happens to the winter fuel payment when there are two people above state pension age in the household

US health care is rife with high costs and deep inequities, and that’s no accident – a public health historian explains how the system was shaped to serve profit and politicians Research shows that decades of policy choices shaped today’s fragmented health care system – which is precisely why reform is so difficult.

The US health care system's high costs and inequities aren't accidental – they're the result of decades of policy choices prioritizing profit over people and entrenching racial hierarchies, says a #publichealth historian. buff.ly/qDyWBxp

This very almost recent trend of changing the leader didnt work for the Tories. I am a Watford fan and we keep changing the manager hasnt worked that well for us. Its a trap personalising are problems to leader. Dont march to that tune
