Ireland has shown that basic income works — not just socially, but economically. Give people time and security to develop their skills, and the returns flow back to society. Now let’s go further. #UniversalBasicIncome #Economics

Remarkable that climate change isn't mentioned anywhere in this article on the fragility of the Dawlish stretch of the SW main line BBC News - The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Climate change mitigation? Totally within our power, technology-wise. Clean water? Same. Food for all? Same. Shelter for all? Same. But the profit motive ensures that our emerging technologies are the most extractive and exploitative ones possible.

Capitalism has robbed us of our ability to even realize that nearly all of our technological innovation is profit-driven—and it doesn’t have to be that way.

If you have trouble imagining a positive future, just try imagining technology without the profit motive. Just that is enough to transform the horizon.

According to SNP for North Ayrshire Labour joined with Reform in a bid to form an administration on North Ayrshire Council Their attempt to run the Council was stopped when more Councillors supported the formation of a new SNP administration 👇

Labour don't care about Scotland,especially when we saw this. www.thenational.scot/news/1780059... www.heraldscotland.com/politics/201...

This is what happens when unionists decide they want control at any cost Stirling council has just been won back from Lab/ Tory control It's £12m in debt after that experience It's time our Indy parties worked more closely together to bring about Indy The SNP can't do it alone

The BBC just ran a report from Norway about electric ferries being fantastic👍 Obviously flew over the multiple CalMac electric ferries to get to Norway to film that! It would just kill them to say anything positive about CalMac #VoteSNP for independence

We need vaccine passports into the UK from less than pro vaccine US and better health messaging on preventing infections for both Measles and COVID #AirborneRisk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk @greenparty.org.uk

You’ve taken your daughter to a birthday party. In the air, invisible, is the measles virus. Even if she survives, the virus may never be done with her. Elizabeth Bruenig on what measles can do to a body, to a brain, and to a family:

The SAVE Act would require a passport to vote, so naturally they make it harder to get a passport

The impact, thus far, in Minneapolis: This corrupt administration and Fake Law Enforcement have done enough damage. To date: $203 Million Dollars.

When Labour came to power in 1997, a staggering 283,866 people were waiting 6 months or more for an operation. By 2007 the number was down to 199. Just one astonishing fact I came across while recording this and it's a reminder that government really can change things - for the better.

At what cost, though? The "breach" overflow wards are now all gone, we are up to our necks in PFI debt and the system is grinding to a halt as Streeting feeds his private medicine paymasters. The NHS is being privatised by stealth, meanwhile the privateers moan they have nothing to do...
