'Hereditary lifeboat'! These grifters, whose wealth is built on medieval royal patronage and/or imperial extraction and pillage, deserve to lose all privilege and sink into obscurity. Doomed hereditary peers spy chance to stay in the Lords bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Scotland’s Community Wealth Building Bill sends an important message to the people striving for a new economy: The struggle will be won not in elite institutions, but in local communities, notes @DemocracyCollab’s @nmcinroy. bit.ly/40ukEwZ

At last! But not enough. We need energy resilience and security. That means local and democratic ownership of supply, transmission and distribution. GB energy well off the pace. Chancellor to offer support over rising heating oil costs bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

📢Announcing Scoil Chois Claí 2026 to be held on the island of Árainn Mhór in County Donegal between the 24th and 26th of April. The core focus of the school this year is climate breakdown, anti-imperialism, Palestine, the rise of fascism and alternatives to capitalism.

Despite a surfeit of grand visions and sweeping declarations about a post-capitalist future, shifting economic power requires on-the-ground work with local communities, argues @DemocracyCollab’s @nmcinroy. bit.ly/40ukEwZ

🚨BREAKING -- Last month it was reported that David Lammy warned Keir Starmer "against appointing Lord Mandelson as the ambassador to the US". Emails released by the Cabinet Office now show Lammy "agree[d] with the recommendation" to appoint Mandelson in December 2024.

"There you have it, in black and white. The PM, Keir Starmer, warned in the clearest possible terms that Peter Mandelson maintained his relationship [with Epstein] after the conviction.. there is no escape from this"

🚨 NEW: Peter Mandelson was given access to highly-classified Government briefings before he had completed formal vetting

So Starmer knew about Mandelson's close relationship with Epstein since December 2024. And yet @darrenpjones is being sent out to bat for the PM today, blaming civil servants for not digging up enough dirt. Because staying at a convicted paedophile's house wasn't enough?

Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign as Prime Minister after UK Government files underlined how he appointed Peter Mandelson to the US ambassador role #Echobox=1773247494-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25928422.…
