Well worth a read including references if you have time. I have flagged the same. Below is a related thread
If loud or quiet (as I was below)

It doesn't make it any less true. We escalated up a ladder of real concern as evidence mounted

Too few taking risks seriously

Fact-lite promises / threats are easy. Refuting evidence is not
Another related and carefully stated reflection of the same from @MrMarkEThomas in a thread on the #REUL. If firms are deregulated clumsily while we erode human rights, firms do not self-police. See Shell, BP and more general billionaire uptick
@MrMarkEThomas The argument that those with power and wealth will default to an altruistic equilibrium for the country is utter nonsense. This should all be a stark example
The energy firms squeezed their customers. Struggling people are referred to debt collectors

Firms even asked to be taxed in passing as they were seeing the retail demand being destroyed
Some lip service to vulnerability, debt held is the liability on their balance sheet. Courts took per warrant payments to process

Better chance of repayment is more valuable debt to trade on in debt and derivatives markets
Warrant fee needed as legal and court system is underfunded

People had their homes broken into on that basis. That is the free market adjusting for poverty

Homes freed up for private sale as the residents sink under debt the market forced them to hold
Pertinent Johnson quote in a thread on work to make it more affordable to buy a home, while it is made easier to evict you
With freedom and power comes great responsibility. Cabinet are calling to have the former and be absolved of all the latter /END
P.S. A few related studies on this trajectory to greater inequality and the use of coercion and the erosion of rights to secure that
Further to that, where once it felt like unhelpful hyperbole, this is probably also worth a read
Finally, if you struggle to credit me with the knowledge to be reliable on this. Martin Wolf is here with similar. @FT's top man on the prevailing economics prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics-and-…
I said I was done, but maybe note hecklers at Biden's state of the nation. It is the equivalent cohort cheering for destruction of our public services and our protective regulations and laws
With this as a solid counter to it
On a brighter not to go with the chuckle I hope that gave you. It is very few who want this as per this video and all of the polling
In the heat of fights and fears on here we can forget that most of our neighbours would gladly do all they can to help others out
The party were warned against misleading us and brewing up fights with more concocted and fictional enemies. Folk are not daft, we mostly see through it
It is not either greedy bullies, or deluded commies. Most of us sit squarely in the middle and really need a return to some humanity, sanity, honesty, accountability Image

The RAAC thing has completely broken my head. The timing has to be a decision, unless it was forced by a leak. This government that did everything not to shut schools doing this? What is going on? I suspect more will come out
Perhaps close enough to the election to guarantee the cost is a problem for the next administration. @bylinetimes reporting in June, to go with what you know about Gove cancelling the school building programme in 2010. It's a 'Why now?' not 'Why? question bylinetimes.com/2023/06/28/hun…
Gareth Davies, head of the NAO said: "At present, 700,000 pupils are learning in schools requiring major rebuilding or refurbishment. DfE has, since 2021, assessed the risk of school building failure or collapse as critical and very likely, but it has not been able to reduce this risk. More widely, it has an ambitious strategy for decarbonising the education estate but no plan for how it will achieve this or how much it is likely to cost." Conservative MP Philip Dunne, chair of the Commons' Environmental Audit Committee, said the NAO's report is "raising alarm bells on the co...

Why is our human rights act and ECHR inconvenient for government? Not just about people on small boats. What could a government do to you and your family if there is no backstop to appeal elsewhere and laws can be changed and passed with little consideration of human rights?
That is the frustration driving this move. The NHS data reuse and AI ambitions are central here, as are the plans for deregulation. If done carelessly and workers rights and consumer rights are run roughshod over, the equation is 'Will we get caught and can we be sanctioned?'
That is evidenced here from when an EU delegation came to review plans for Data Protection divergence with the Data Reform Bill (DPDI No.2 Bill as it is now) One, a human rights barrister who didn't want to be named, said: "I'm worried for my safety, I've not been before; other lawyers have told me they are worried too." Stephanie Harrison QC specialises in challenging the detention of vulnerable migrants, including people with mental health problems and trafficking and torture survivors. She said the "deliberate" decision of the home secretary and the government to "turn on" lawyers was a tactic used by authoritarian states.

We are being turned into a foreign owned industrial estate, with a wealth management outfit in London tacked onto it
What gives me that impression?

Matt heaping on the easy to agree with nostalgia, with a nascent movement entirely dependent on social media and targeting people to foster grievance at some poorly defined blob of 'new elite' people
Free Speech Union, as the main partner organisation, is run by an Oxford graduate who has spent most of his life as contrarian loud hailer. All about the terrors of wokeness, diversity, and lack of race science in public policy. What exactly is fought for against and for here?
Anyway, make your own mind up, as folk keep saying bylinetimes.com/2021/02/16/fre…

A nominally new sovereignty fight to congeal around for the election. Won't happen, for good reasons, but that simply adds grist to the mill for arguing 'EU' interference (it's Council of Europe, not part of the EU body we left)
If this government can pull off getting people to vote against their own Human Rights, then we would see rights in domestic law erode for all in the next parliament. What would weaker human rights do? Sure you can treat migrants how the heck you like, but same for everyone
Onwards and don't swerve to spare the proles? This is not exactly a quiet ambition. When Cameron had Beechcroft look into no fault firing, main flies in the ointment were equalities law, human rights act, EU worker protections, and ECHR appeal mechanisms. Not about your freedom

This is like letting NHS backlogs grow and staff leave so we hate that enough to tolerate NHS private rescue packages. These people are that utilitarian about lives. Suck it and see, fatally
Do you really see different?
Calling Jenrick far right? Is that unhelpful hyperbole? Turning Point UK, Meloni, and others agree. Saying what they see now https://t.co/xSsbzt6amL
