But it’s still food for thought, … Continue reading SCOTUS Reform: Why Not Go All The Way? → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Labour just broke a major election pledge. No, NOT the one about austerity.

Not even a month in, and the Labour Party has already been breaking pledges it made prior to the 4 July general election. No, not the promise about austerity; that one was obviously going to go as soon as Rachel Reeves got into 11 Downing Street. It’s another promise – but it’s a biggie, too. […]

Universal Basic Income News: Good Or Bad Depending On What The Goal Is

On Tuesday 23 July, campaigners, politicians, and trade unions gathered at parliament to call on the new Labour Party government to provide #FreeSchoolMealsForAll.
