My latest piece: Starmer’s Labour, cuts to everything except the war machine "BBC, OBR claim that failing to cut disability benefits could ‘destabilise the economy’ while ignoring tens of billions on military spending that is really out of control." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/starme…

My full support to my Labour colleagues who have been suspended over opposition to disability cuts. Alongside nearly 50 of us, they were simply standing up for their disabled constituents and following their consciences. Challenging policies that harm our communities, that

Two weeks ago: Starmer said "we've listened" on welfare cuts. Today: Starmer suspended the MPs he claimed to have listened to. He hasn't listened at all.

Healey shamelessly deflecting from his double cover-up: First, of a data breach putting Afghan lives at risk; Second, of the fact that special forces were vetting Afghan applicants who fought with them to weed out any that witnessed their war crimes. Healey's a disgrace.

This is utterly disingenuous... Healey was briefed on the super-injunction before the General Election. He could have sought to lift it/made it public at any point in his 54 weeks as Defence Secretary. He didn't. Instead, he approved the ongoing cover-up. He should resign.

At the UN the UK says its appalled. Appalled enough to impose sanctions on Israel? No Appalled enough to stop all arms sales to Israel? No Appalled enough to cease all trade with Israel? No Appalled enough to expel the Israeli ambassador? No Its just words

Starmer has committed the UK to increasing military spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. In money terms, that will cost more than FIFTEEN times as much as the £5 billion he wanted to cut from disability benefits. So why isn't it dubbed a black hole? See: therestisbullshit.substack.com/p/when-is-a-bl…

To read actual research on how increased defence spending doesn’t make us safer, is a drag on economic growth & job creation, have a look at this free book ‘Indefensible: 7 Myths that Sustain the Global Arms Trade’. These are the facts that expose the mendacious nonsense of

Some of you have been taken aback by the $34.95 price of 'Cold War Puerto Rico'. It's published by the University of Massachusetts Press and academic books tend to be more expensive, but I'll be getting stock at a discount for sale via my website at £20+post. So hang on for that!
