Shocker: Goodall's wife is a senior advisor to the Tony Blair Institute - you know, those guys lobbying for these IDs....

Can Keir Starmer not see that by endlessly talking about immigration all he is doing is making Nigel Farage stronger? Does he not understand that numbers and actions are completely irrelevant and it is simply about fear, which he is fuelling?

"Just imagine how useful ID cards would be in rounding people up for Trump-style mass deportations – especially if that effort was linked to facial recognition technology automatically scanning crowds anywhere from a rush-hour Tube station to a football match" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Another Labour nightmare. "Computer security experts also say centralised data could create a juicy target for hackers who, as the cyber-attacks on Jaguar Land Rover, the Co-op, the British Library and others have shown, pose a growing threat to the UK’s ability to function"

But they are nothing like the Tories for corruption 🙄

🚨 NEW: Starmer’s desperate rush for digital IDs is a recipe for repression ID cards won’t reduce migration and will put trans rights at risk. But that’s not the biggest cost of Starmer’s half-baked scheme... https://goodlaw.social/sa9h

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

When everyone but Starmer agrees Digital ID is bad - you know there's a problem Keir Starmer has finally united the country whatever people's politics - the issue is we're united in opposing Digital ID, writes @willem-moore.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Starmer’s UK • Arresting journalists • Jailed for tweets • Digital ID compulsory • Passport needed to use internet • Arresting pacifists • Banning peace marches Authoritarianism

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

So, the Tony Blair Institute is again pushing the idea of a compulsory ID card - an egregious policy even by the gutter standards of war criminal Blair & now Starmer is contemplating it. For the hard of thinking party tribalists, consider what a Reform govt could do with that kind of power over you.

I'm sick and tired of people in politics telling us they 'accidentally deleted' 5000 WhatsApp messages, 'forgot' they owned seven flats, 'couldn't recall' taking a £6m loan or didn't declare £700,000 in donations due to 'administrative error'. What do they take us for?

I've seen the infamous Ridley Plan being discussed a little today. I've posted a link from a 2019 Open Democracy article that provides a brief description of the blueprint employed by Thatcher to wreck public services & sell them into private hands. www.opendemocracy.net/en/oureconom...

Reform UK are not in power, Keir Starmer's changed Labour Party is. Can people stop being distracted by Farage, and expose what Labour are actually doing to the country? A stealth takeover of the UK by carving it up into deregulated free zones, tax havens for corporation with 25 year licenses. 1/2

Latest on Keir Starmer's "progressive fightback" 👇

Steve Keen and Richard Murphy take time out to dismantle the money myths. Double-entry accounting shows what really happens when banks create money and governments run deficits. If economics taught reality instead of dogma, austerity would be unthinkable. youtu.be/ZDdWUj9WUmM?...

Why would anyone vote for Reform? Why, in particular, would anyone vote for Reform when Nigel Farage is promising big benefit cuts in this country? Why, in other words, would people want to vote to make life worse for millions of the worst off in this country? youtu.be/rkuJ05z4xBI?...

Digital IDs aren’t just a card with your name and address on them. They hold your whole life and that life belongs to those who hold the data!!! You can be wiped out electronically at the drop of a hat… that’s the power you confer on the tech corporations/government!!

Beginning a journey through the history of economic thought youtu.be/rV5lVWlpc8I?... I am starting a new series on my YouTube: the history of economic thought. This is not a dry academic history. Join me to understand why economics matters—and why its stories are always stories of power.

Zack Polanski might actually do really well pursuing this strategy of just asking British politicians a follow up question

Politicians and economists pretend forecasts are facts. But they’re not. They’re guesses. In this video, I explain why fiscal rules based on forecasts are absurd and why we must plan on the basis of present needs, not imagined futures. youtu.be/YKAZR1GrJ-s?...

This was an appalling mistake by Cooper. But thanks to primacy and recency my overriding memory of her is the last TV appearance when she claimed to have a shed with patriotic bunting.

It do be like that

In hindsight, the only thing Facebook was ever really good for was providing a lazy way for us all to say happy birthday to each other.

So "officials" did know about this at the point Mandelson was made ambassador to the USA? That's what's up here, yes.

With respect to the candidates, it really doesn't make a difference who the next deputy of the Labour Party is. The party is so fundamentally broken - it seeks only to protect the wealth of it's donors. I spoke to The Indepedent 👇🏼 youtu.be/sTes4wqlOBQ?...

Central bank independence is a neoliberal con trick youtu.be/mQ_U0lfSJAg?... We are told that central banks are neutral and above politics. The truth is, they’re not. Central bank independence was created to remove responsibility from politicians and hand power to unelected bankers.

1/7 An old adage claims that perfection is the enemy of progress & a lot of people signed-up to the new Corbyn & Sultana project are becoming frustrated with the distinct lack of progress. Senior figures in the Green Party, their potential electoral allies are also concerned by this snails pace.

857 people were arrested yesterday, most of them over 60, for holding signs against Genocide. Has anyone from the Free Speech brigade cried out about it. Of course not, they only care about their Free Speech.

“Governments don’t borrow in the way households or companies do … when a government with its own central banks spends, it creates money … so-called ‘borrowing’ isn’t a necessity, it’s a policy choice … government never needs to issue bonds to fund spending”. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/09...

Senior Labour figures tell Keir Starmer to stop making mistakes. Two child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts, PFI, not nationalising water, deregulating finance, further privatisation of the NHS, chasing Reform narratives aren't "mistakes". They are wrong policies. Need policy reset.

This is without any evidence or data to support it. Cancer existed before COVID vaccines. The rise in early onset cancers- going on for decades- is not linked to COVID vaccines. Follow scientists & medical researchers. Not ppl selling snake oil. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We also have people holding these 'opinions' (in lieu of facts & knowledge) in the UK too & yes, they're Reform & Tory fans. bsky.app/profile/pipe...

Britain's Thatcherite Doom Loop: From Truss to Farage via Starmer unherd.com/2025/09/brit...

While berating Angela Rayner for tax avoidance not only does Nigel Farage do the very same he is also paid £thousands by a group called Nomad advising millionaires worldwide on how to avoid paying tax #TaxTheRich #CloseTaxLoopholes #AbolishBillionaires #BlameMillionairesNotMigrants

Dear American colleagues, Please remember that Peter Mandelson, the UK 'Ambassador' to Trump, is an unpunished friend of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein called him "Petie". 🤮 From The Morning Star:

“Farage has given two contradictory versions – one that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second one is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign.” – @goodlawproject.org https://bit.ly/4m81Zzt

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Polanski of the Greens is calling for Farage to resign - which is entirely fair considering Rayner had to. cr. Fellowship of the Memes

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
