So #Gove , too cowardly to stand at the general election on his record, (co-chair Vote Leave, VIP PPE contracts for cronies etc) is to be reinserted into our Legislature like a used supposiTory as the parting gift of failed #EnglishNationalist loser #Sunak ?
And the #Labour Government simply nods along?!? This appointment simply yells #Starmer's failure to address broken democracy & governance in the UK, where cronyism is normal, & failure rewarded by a life tenure in the legislature.

A lot is being said about the April 11th release of the US Consumer Sentiment Index, which is down 11% since March and 30% since December, to the second lowest it's been since recording started in 1952 (down to 50.8 points from a 20-year average of 80 points).

What bothers me though, is how the media all turns directly to tariffs as the only cause, as if Trump could just end his trade war with the world and the US would go right back to functioning normally again.

That is an extremely Capitalist view of the market which completely ignores the great importance of working-class labour, and putting spending power in the hands of working-class consumers.

People are losing jobs due to DOGE cuts to government spending in order to produce trillions of dollars in tax breaks for multi-billionaires like Elon Musk. People are losing jobs because labour protections against job discrimination are being revoked. People are losing all the public services and supports they need to survive, whether they can hold onto a job or not. Everything is more expensive because of tariffs, but also because the US labour force is being rounded up into ICE detention camps.

Consumers aren't just losing confidence because they have all this money to invest and don't know where to spend it. Consumers have no confidence because they have no spending power.

Confidence in the stock market comes from investors, and Trump can manipulate the market to pull that sentiment up and down with his tariffs and breaks on tariffs.

Consumer sentiment comes from the masses, who are largely working-class and not investors who make all their money off the capital they own. You take away their spending power, and surprise, they have no confidence to spend.

Media needs to stop turning everything into a tariff debate, and look at the real hurt and chaos in American lives.

It should be noted that the other "Great Recession" shown on the graph, of 2007-2009, was avoidable and caused by unregulated credit and borrowing. In response to the Great Recession, unprecedented fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policy was unleashed by federal authorities. Trump's administration is taking financial regulation away, in order to remove caps on capitalist exploitation.

Tracking US consumer sentiment The Index of Consumer Sentiment in the US was down in April* by about 11% from March. It was below the 20-year average. The index is derived from surveys that ask Americans about their current financial situation and their expectations for the future. A higher index value suggests that consumers are confident, while a lower value indicates caution or pessimism. <graph shows a 20 year average of 80 points, 50.8 points on April 2025, and two big drops during the Great Recession (2007-2009) and the onset of Covid-19. The current low approaches the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.> Data current through April as of April 11, 2025 at 11:36 a.m. ET. * Data preliminary.

“UK government wants to legalise automated police decision-making”

“A proposed law in the UK would allow police decisions to be made solely by computers, with no human input. The Data Use and Access Bill would remove a safeguard in data protection law that prohibits solely automated decision-making by law enforcement agencies”

Over 30 civil liberties, human rights, and racial justice organisations and experts, including Statewatch, have written to the government to demand changes.

Just had a post through the door from Labour. It is a mixture of brazen lies and deliberate confusion.
1. They claim they'll end austerity in Scotland? Err austerity comes from Labour in Westminster.
2.They claim they'll fix the NHS in Scotland. Interesting since the Scottish NHS outperforms the English and Welsh NHS both run by Labour.
3. They claim they'll back workers. Interesting since they abandon workers in Grangemouth while supporting workers in England.

I agree!

No question in my mind that #Starmer is a #Quisling who not only prioritises the interests of his £billionaire donors over the *genuine* needs of Britain but, more importantly, the interests of malign foreign states like Israel!

Thus:

“[..] Starmer has been tamed like a circus lion, whipped into line by the #establishment. Those pressures won’t lift once he is in government. They will intensify”

What does Keir Starmer stand for? It's been five years since Keir Starmer replaced Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour party.

Despite winning a landslide victory in the 2024 general election, many are still uncertain what the prime minister represents, whilst assessments of his time as Labour leader have become more negative.
