A 3% extra temporary bank surcharge is rather feeble given the astronomical scale of the profits UK banks have been making - the big four made £29bn in the first six months of 2026 alone. #Budget2026

It last rained in Portsmouth on June 26. The Met Office is saying it *might* rain on August 5.
That's 40 days without any rain!
Genuinely bewildering that much of the media hasn't engaged with what is happening. What happens in years to come - when that's 50 days? 60 days?

Burnham won't be able to change our social care system until he fixes one thing: private companies sucking profit out of this essential public service.
Councils spend £34.5bn a year on care, but this cash is being sucked out of the system as profit and investor returns. 1/3

No Rachel, you are not leaving the UK economy stronger, healthier. No Keir, you are not leaving Britain in a better state than you found it. There is a reason you were booted out by your own party: Together, you did enormous harm to Britain's social fabric & ethos. Good night! theguardian.com/politics/liv…

Green Party source on briefings Ed M won’t be chancellor: “The Labour briefings on the chancellor are a gift to us. Openly highlighting they don’t want change, briefing that the bankers don’t want Miliband, surreal levels of hitting the ball over the bar.”

Thomas Tuchel went for the same strategy as vs Mexico without, it seems, appreciating Argentina have the attacking ability to unpick a low block over 30mins. That is a pitiful way to exit the World Cup at this stage.

"City relieved" = Burnham's government won't challenge the power of the bankers, or tax their wealth.
Who is choosing our politicians - the people or the banking sector?

We've launched a legal challenge with Hackney & Lewisham to plans to cut London’s affordable housing target from 35% to 20%
Backed by Lambeth, Southwark, Waltham Forest & Haringey
In London, 90K children are homeless; 1m+ in poor housing
Reducing afforable homes is not the answer

Neoliberalism isn’t a “buzzword”. It’s the near 50-year political, economic and ideological project that has brought so many communities to their knees.
It smashed workers’ rights, imposed austerity, deregulated the banks that then crashed the economy, privatised public utilities like water and energy, sold off council houses, handed tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations, turned universities into an unaffordable market, transformed public services into sources of private profit through outsourcing and PFI, and much more.
It's the root cause of so much of what has gone wrong in our country. And it was all done to enrich the tiny elite that Tony Blair now so clearly represents.
