There was a time when the production line ordered more than goods, it ordered life. Work meant wages, wages meant stability, and stability gave the illusion of progress. That was Fordism. What remains now is the shell of that promise, retrofitted as nationalist fantasy. The factory is gone, but its myth has been repurposed. Not to build, but to blame.
Philp’s not doing politics, he is doing panic. Jenrick’s dragging the whole Tory lot further right, and this is what’s left: no ideas, no plan, just enemies. Same fear, different headline.
Neutrality in the face of injustice is not impartiality. This is complicity. The court’s ruling isn’t about keeping police out of politics; it’s about appeasing a reactionary movement that wants trans people pushed from public life. Today it’s Pride. Tomorrow it’s the right to celebrate Eid, to march for Black lives, to speak up for Palestine. The message is clear: visibility is permitted only for the unthreatening.
He fed them tales of satanic cabals and deep-state executions, and now expects them to believe the Epstein dossier is boring.
Farage isn’t here to fix Britain. He’s here to make you hate your neighbour while his mates keep getting rich.
Dugin doesn’t need Trump to lead anymore. He just needs him to stall. The real project now is building a soft-theocratic death cult that prays for collapse but never acts. Spectators waiting for revelation, not revolution. Fifty days to Armageddon. Maybe. Maybe not. That’s the point.
Rachel Reeves is not just reviving trickle-down economics. She is sharpening it into a weapon aimed directly at the working class.
Farage says migrants are draining £12bn in benefits. The government’s own data says the real figure is closer to £3bn, and those he targets are more likely to be sanctioned and underpaid. This isn’t savings. It’s scapegoating.
On Tariffs, Crypto, and the Class Logic of Trump’s Economic Nationalism
In trading tax cuts for Trump’s tariff relief, Starmer hasn’t negotiated, he’s capitulated, handing the keys of British economic policy to Big Tech and calling it diplomacy.
JD Vance went to Greenland to play imperialist. He left rebuked, ridiculed, and unwelcome, a fitting emissary for a decaying superpower.
The Observer’s latest editorial on “biological sex” is less a defence of evidence-based policy than a reactionary lament for the loss of capitalist order disguised as administrative concern.
While Trump governs and the Democratic Party fragments, Sanders and AOC offer mass therapy disguised as mobilisation, nostalgia in place of a plan.
All UK families will be worse off by 2030, according to the latest data. Starmer’s Labour doesn’t plan to change that, only to manage the fallout.
As Starmer’s Labour government deepens public sector cuts, the silence from Reform UK is as revealing as the policy itself.
The Tory right, desperate to claw back support after their election defeat, are abandoning reality and embracing climate denial, setting the stage for a dangerous future where net zero commitments are scrapped to appease Reform UK supporters.
If Joe Biden was condemned as “Genocide Joe” for arming Israel during its war on Gaza, what do we call the man who not only restocked its weapons but signed off on the latest assault?
For years, we were told there was no money, no money for schools, no money for hospitals, no money for the poor, but as Europe rushes to rearm, the old fiscal rules have been quietly torn up.
