Like so many others, I'm extremely concerned about the future of our country - and of the planet.
A handful of sociopathic mainly US & UK based elites are deliberately stoking polarisation, which is destroying democracy, societies, trust, hope, & the environment.
Democracy is being sorely tested, & while we just about scraped through the 2008 crash, caused directly be under-regulated capitalism, we all know what happened the previous time there was widespread economic turmoil across the western world.

I despise the fact that a handful of wealthy sociopathic elites are using the fascist playbook & their global network of billionaire-funded media & think tanks to deliberately undermine our (highly imperfect) democracy, destroy the welfare state, & divide ordinary decent people.
Our priority is to bring the Govt down, but given our antiquated FPTP electoral system, the only feasible route to this is through Labour/LibDem/Green/SNP combining to offer the electorate attractive realistic solutions to the crises we face. But I don't see this happening - yet.
Millions will suffer great hardship this winter. Without strong voices clearly articulating an attractive alternative & educating voters about the dark arts deployed by the well-funded Right, we may not get a sufficient majority to change course at the next GE.
