I read Rand in my youth ('The Fountainhead' & 'Atlas Shrugged') expecting reasoned argument. The first is a sub-Harold Robbins bodice ripper, the second pitched at the intellectual level of Wacky Races. Might as well take your politics from The Only Way is Essex.

🚨 BREAKING: Hannah Einbinder at the Emmy Awards: "I just want to say, come on, birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine."

They build council housing. This will have the effect of lowering private rents and, shortly after, the cost of homes and mortgage repayments. This is the option used post WWII, and the one discussed for the last twenty years.

Which top politicians and commentators will Ayesha Hazarika be interviewing this year?

The Observer and Andrew Rawnsley are gagging for the “hard choices…”

Polled, 98% of Israelis said treatment of Gazans was too soft or about right. Just 2% thought it too much. 'Progressive alternative.'

Persimmon new build.

Tory policy to keep the property speculating parasites happy and prosperous

There is the problem of the leasehold charges, they cannot sell them, not to mention the quality issues? There are some real horror stories.

Leasehold is one of the social obscenities of our time. Wife's friend lost her flat because she simply couldn't pay the fourfold increase in service charge. Couldn't afford to rent in London, had to move out. Couldn't afford train fares, so lost her London work. All gone.

As Corrupt as all our other neoliberal govts, just slicker. Burnham governs for capital

Indeed. Mum & Dad have been skinned by a failed politics portfolio. Houses in London ain't selling good. BofE mulling raising interest rates. Things are looking up for first time buyers!

Just a little bit. A teeeeeensy weeeeensy...

The elderly and people in wheelchairs being arrested for holding up placards again. It's a test for Burnham who has been conspicuously silent on the abhorrent proscription of PA. He has to say something now.

At a time when we don’t know what happened at Fairford, just listen to the BBC’s “Security” correspondent Frank Gardener. He jumped from we don’t know much to it’s probably the Russians or Iranians then he jumped through hyperspace to get to this…this is why we need tactical nuclear weapons!! I kid you not, just listen. The BBC is a rabid warmongering dog. #brokenmedia #bbcbias

The police are letting paedophiles roam free in the UK just because they are friends with the royalty.

Ed Balls: "Am I right to say this is a massive announcement" Wes Streeting: "It is a massive announcement, Ed" Labour has a majority of 158. Kicking the (social care) can down the road for another 3 years isn't a massive announcement.

Please get involved in getting @ZackPolanski elected in Holborn & St.Pancras. It’s going to be close. We need every possible volunteer to beat the Labour machine which is spending a fortune on targeted social media ads. The path to victory is knocking on doors, telling people about the real hope that Zack brings rather than the business-as-usual Labour candidate, & getting the vote out. Let’s defeat Labour in Keir Starmer’s home seat.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

They raped that girl for 7 hours! Fuck your statement!
