This is the effect that @ruthbenghiat warns us about in the article in replies
Governments erode household resilience against global shocks

2008, bailouts, austerity, Brexit, Covid, Ukraine war, inflation, now austerity and service erosion

Then police inevitable dissent and have to blame others for it
More perspective from @ft while noting the attacks on unions are fundamentally undemocratic and partner the attempts to repeal our Human Rights Act, withdraw from the #ECHR and further curb our worker protections with the #REUL
Dominic Grieve on the #ECHR with a note that the freedom of association (right to form a union) is in there with many other vital protections. The bad faith focus only on migrants can be fairly viewed as govt misinformation
I know my feed can swing from very reactive to very carefully worded

This thread on #REUL is at the latter end of that spectrum and carefully highlights the chaos in prospect with a push to implement changes by end of 2023, note staunchest supporters
Notably this person with a long and ignoble history of dismissing issues of public welfare Vs profit for donors
Third time lucky posting that as it was important to correct all of the typos. Some things are vital to get right and not mislead you
Perhaps you might now consider this thread and the import of another of the US right wing tactics for education

At base opposition to state funding, but the process of discrediting the teachers and school boards was brutal
Mainly race based and gender based scare tactics about the curricula were seeded in large part by sympathetic sponsors and the aligned lobby groups

Then effects of division take over

Just as had happened in the UK, picked up by sympathetic outlets bylinetimes.com/2022/02/14/rum…
It spills over into free speech disputes as tensions heighten

At times in the US pushed to an obscene extreme and resulting in more than one related shooting
This is a US Republican pollster warning the Conservative Party to avoid the same trajectory for UK
History of that US path reported here bylinetimes.com/2021/11/15/the…
It has turned out to be very profitable
Language used in the US to stir up those tensions is the same as language used here by Jenkyns

Liz Truss' Ex-Education Minister

This is my local freeport. The news of this has been slow to surface. Do read
All governments who have flagship policies invest huge resources in the quashing of bad news about impact

This is a thread on the link between freeports and planned deregulation

Not alarmist hyperbole, it is gain for investors, removing our protections
"At what cost?" is a question this government seem not to ask enough

Perhaps a #GeneralElection? Sunak is unpopular, Johnson a lawless and lazy disaster, what about democracy?
It would be good to hear Johnson supporter arguments, or than he is a great campaigner, what does he now stand for? He presided over one of the most enthusiastic, but dishonest campaigns on our electoral history

Here from US Embassy here in 2018
More to back up that big assertion.

When power is the point instead of the best prospects for our nation

Quick question. Is video here playing ok for you? Skips back for me. But it is very much pertinent to the point
It happens via browser too. It cycles back at about the 10s mark and if I manually move forward no sound then
Always avoiding the tin foil hat ideas, but as far as I know folk didn't get to the bottom of governance for this lot

Ofc it could also be blunt tool ML redaction of any video about covid from the new fella in charge here

Any insight to offer @EinsteinsAttic?

This needs an update. Bannon is out on license and sent this to Brazilians
Of course these countries differ wildly, but he is an equal rights disruptor. What has been upshot?

On the promised and still not working IT systems to track asylum seekers
Perhaps unrelated to the specific incidents, but the whole system is apparently being run on govt need for outrage not competence
