into something so demoralised and vacuous feels like a repeat. How can we overcome these managerial logics that claim to deliver better services by making institutions so hostile and undermining to those who work to make them meaningful?
My mum had the experience of working for the NHS (as a speech and language therapist) then the service being privatised and the values of the organisation falling away into a laminated marketing pitch. Universities have always been compromised but watching them go through this convulsion
I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.
If Wes Streeting can release his messages with Peter Mandelson, why not release the ones with private healthcare donors?
What kind of economic zone will musk die for?
Wouldn’t this be a version of mission creep. Proscription is for orgs so serious that even expressing support needs stopping. But now it’s ‘needed’ to allow proscribing less serious groups in more limited ways. I think that it needs to argued for rather be a logical step b/c the gov got embarrassed.
this feels like a spoof from The Day Today
“Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing”.
- Wes Streeting, UK Health Secretary
A UK government minister has admitted that Israel is committing war crimes - so why is the UK government refusing to act?
£240m. With no tender. Palantir.
I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.
Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.
Palantir out.
I want some of these people who are suddenly questioning failures of the wider culture to have a public moment like where a hapless faithful, on entering the final throws of the Traitors, asks 'Why am I here!?'
Of course this won't be Streeting. He's conducting some traitor on traitor action here.
I don't know if your message is a rebuttal or another joke at Starmer's expense.
Every day I wake up and fail to understand how no one is getting that if we lose on migrant rights - we lose on everything? Climate, the economy and to the far-right. It's this exact moment everyone needs to step in - but that's just not happening.
That Starmer and his allies have rid the Labour Party of its diversity and then operate so catastrophically that all they have is saying ‘what’s the alternative’ is hardly a selling point for Starmerism.

*Not satire.
Palantir fasciitis
The government has gone very far down a very dark road.
This announcement of mass deportations while also seeking to gut rights protections is frightening.
Meanwhile, the home secretary is openly using fascist rhetoric.

I hope people focus on the palantir meeting and the contracts and that some technical detail in that was not above board.
Apparently these were the follow up questions... Their own story makes them look stupid and gullible but I guess they're just hoping that the challengers are so weak they will not be able to capitalise on anything and Keir can bang on about how 'process' was followed.
The Labour Party might be more successful in finding a successor to Starmer who is not tainted by association with Mandelson if only there hadn't been a deliberate effort, led by Mandelson and his mentees, to sideline or expell everyone who didn't fall in line with his faction.l
If you were looking for an exposition of what British values *could* be you could do a lot worse than Ian McKellen wielding Shakespeare like a rapier.
Did anyone vote Labour to get a reincarnation of Priti Patel in the Home Office
Steve Reed continues to pretend that Starmer & the govt didn't know anything about Mandelson when they appointed him ambassador & when they did find out he was sacked.
Sophy Ridge knows he's lying. The viewers know he's lying. Even he knows he's lying.
An abhorrent policy which inevitably leads to people seeking asylum being denied necessary medical support.
People seeking asylum don't receive enough financial support to pay for taxis, or often public transport, themselves, but still need to travel to appointments 1/

Is Mandelson's real sin that he gave confidential information to Epstein? Or that he got caught doing what so many do? Why do Ministers sell access to business people for huge 'donations'?
How we beat ICE👇
Wouldn't be surprised if the galaxy brains of labour hq are trying to lose this to reform in order to have something to bash the greens in the long term.
