It makes me sad to see The Labour Party bragging about their new deal with Amazon.co.uk This is the same company who refuse to pay their workers a fair wage The same company that uses dirty union busting tactics The same company that avoids paying tax Labour have picked the wrong side

A 2% wealth tax on assets over Β£10 million could raise Β£24 billion β€” more than enough to fund Winter Fuel Payments, scrap the two-child benefit cap and support public sector workers. It’s time for the sixth-largest economy to tax the super-rich and distribute wealth fairly.

Powerful The Herald front page. The industrial vandalism at Grangemouth, and the job losses and the breaking up of communities it will bring, is what happens when we let key decisions about our future be made by unaccounted billionaires and governments in other countries.

London people - a critically important series of conversations over the next few months on political strategy and organisation. I've said it before, but bears repeating: there are huge opportunities for a new left that that have now opened up in England.

It is no longer necessary to use coking coal for steel production, and people like me have been calling for an electrification strategy for years. We absolutely should not licence to 2049 a new coal mine that planned to export most of its output. Smug β€˜the plane is going to

β€œβ€¦as global warming impacts production, goods become more expensive, which affects poor consumers strongly as they tend toΒ purchase necessary items that they cannot avoid or substitute. The rich, meanwhile, are impacted because everything gets more expensive..”

(1)Lots of useful (but for the Centrists, usefully late) revelations in Anushka Asthana's book - clear that Labour Together's big fear of Corbyn wasn't that he would lose elections, but the danger he would win them...theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
