Food bank: Parents who have jobs are being forced to visit food banks because they aren’t being paid enough – at a time when the Conservatives are pushing wage increases well below inflation. The result is that people who are fully-employed are passing out due to lack of food, on the way to the food banks.
The only thing that could make this worse for the Tory government is if the mum was also an NHS nurse.
A mum collapsed of exhaustion and hunger after walking two miles with a pair of toddlers to reach a South Tyneside food bank.
The team from Hospitality and Hope in Hampden Street, South Shields, arranged for the family to be taken home and emergency food support to be provided.
As part of the Household Support Fund administered by South Tyneside Council, the family was also given access to support for gas so they could stay warm.
It turns out that both parents have jobs.
But the cost of paying their bills has now overtaken their collective income. The parents had been going without food in order to keep the children nourished.
All this in the sixth-richest country on the planet, due to Conservative Party government.
And it’s nearly two years until we can change the UK’s direction of travel with a general election.
My only hope is that people take it a little more seriously next time – especially everybody who didn’t think politics had anything to do with them – if they survive the current freeze and don’t starve.

The takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk has created a huge upheaval in the corporation, with many financial supporters and users either leaving it or planning to do so.
There are widespread fears that it may collapse.
Other large firms, that similarly dominate our online lives, are at similar risk of takeover and destruction – calamities that would threaten our current way of life.
What is to be done about it?
I copy below a thread by economist Richard Murphy, who believes that governments should act to create similar systems that are publicly funded and free from commercial interference.
Before you read that, consider this: way back in 2020, I published an article quoting an Australian (I think) magazine that said the UK’s mass media had been complicit in lying to the nation about the Boris Johnson government’s efforts to deal with Covid-19.
It stated that the only people questioning the then-government’s behaviour were independent, social media sites (like Vox Political) and called for them to be supported.
Instead, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have squeezed us hard. This Site’s Facebook page has more than 42,000 followers – but only around 350 ever get to see any single post.
I am shown adverts calling for me to spend £14 to send them to a couple of hundred more readers, but there is no guarantee that they are followers of the page, or even interested in UK politics at all.
On Twitter, I have more than 10,000 followers currently – but, again, only a few of them ever see my tweets.
This is clear interference in the performance of my business, that takes advantage of the need to promote my site via the social media.
So my question is this: is it time to set up publicly-funded alternatives to Twitter, Google and so on, simply to re-establish a level playing field for businesses?
Here’s the Richard Murphy thread:
The future of Twitter appears to be in doubt today. Advertisers have pulled out. Musk has slashed staff numbers. A nasty, right-wing dominated hate-fest may follow, although I hope not. But what if other critical media institutions went the same way? What then? A quick thread…
I don’t see how many good voices that have been heard as a result of Twitter would have got noticed without it. I would deeply miss the almost instant news on politics that it provides because most opinion I want to hear is on this site.
But I’d encourage that for a reason much more important. Twitter has, overall, been a good thing in many people’s lives (but not everyone’s, and we could all do without the hate). But lot’s not pretend it’s critical.
Or Google. And I do not just mean the search engine. It’s communication tools are vital to the functioning of vast numbers of organisations, from my university onwards. Microsoft plays the same role in other places.
They are, admittedly, more mature organisations than Twitter. But in the event of someone with a massive ego and a strong political agenda antagonistic to the state staged a hostile takeover attack on them, backed by big money, would they stay independent?
So, are any of these other, more critical services immune from being taken over and destroyed? I see no obvious reason to think that they are in any way safe from such attack. And that leaves society massively vulnerable to these companies.
Musk and Twitter provide a real warning. We are deeply vulnerable to relatively few tach companies, and we can rely on none of them. My question is, what is society going to do to protect itself against the madness of this situation?
I’d rate the risk of that failure as quite high right now. We really do need to take action, and very soon. The world would fall apart without some of these companies now. It’s too big a risk to not plan for their failure.

Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak: by backstabbing Boris Johnson, are these Star Wars fans hoping to be star choices to replace him?
Boris Johnson’s Chancellor of the Exchequer and Health Secretary have both quit, along with several junior ministers, in what is being seen as signs that his government is collapsing.
The resignations follow revelations by the former Permanent Under-Secretary to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Lord McDonald, that Boris Johnson’s claim that he was never informed of an investigation into improper behaviour by Chris Pincher was false.
The major Cabinet resignations are Health Secretary Sajid Javid and Chancellor Rishi Sunak, but MPs who are Parliamentary aides to Cabinet ministers have also gone: Jonathan Gullis, Saqib Bhatti, Nicola Richards, and Virginia Crosbie. Tory vice-chair Bim Afolami is also out.
Andrew Murrison resigned as Johnson’s trade emissary to Morocco, as did Theodora Clarke, trade emissary to Kenya.
In his resignation letter, Javid stated: “I am instinctively a team player but the British people also rightly expect integrity from their Government.
“We may not always have been popular, but we have been competent in acting in the national interest. Sadly, in the current circumstances, the public are concluding that we are neither. The vote of confidence last month showed that a large number of our colleagues agree. It was a moment for humility, grip and new direction. I regret to say, however, that it is clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership – and you have therefore lost my confidence too.”
Sunak’s letter stated: “The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.
“It has become clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally too different. I am sad to be leaving Government but I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this.”
Former Brexit Minister Lord David Frost said Javid and Sunak had done the right thing. In a statement on Twitter, he said: “The developments of the last week show there is no chance of the prime minister either putting in place the necessary change of approach to running a government or of establishing a new policy direction.”
According to Nick Watt, political editor of the BBC’s Newsnight, one of Johnson’s closest allies has told him the resignations mean Boris Johnson’s premiership will be over by the evening of Wednesday, July 6: “No PM can survive the resignation of two senior cabinet ministers like that.”
In his letter, Murrison said, “the last straw in the rolling chaos of the past six months has been the unavoidable implications of Lord McDonald’s letter”.
Saqib Bhatti said: “The Conservative party has always been the party of integrity and honour but recent events have undermined trust and standards in public life.”
Jonathan Gullis said for too long “we have been focused on dealing with our reputational damage rather than delivering for the people”.
Nicola Richards described the Conservative Party under Johnson as “currently unrecognisable”.
And Virginia Crosbie said in her resignation letter that if Boris Johnson continues as PM he risks “irrevocably harming this government, and the Conservative party”.
Theodora Clarke went a little further in hers: “To learn that you chose to elevate a colleague to a position of pastoral care for MPs, whilst in full knowledge of his own wrongdoing, shows a severe lack of judgement and care for your Parliamentary party.
“I was shocked to see colleagues defending the Government with assurances that have turned out to be false. This is not the way that any responsible Government should act.”
Johnson has already moved to replace his resigning Cabinet ministers – with nonentities. Nadhim Zahawi, who will forever be remembered as the MP who used public money to heat his stables, becomes Chancellor.
Steve Barclay becomes Health Secretary. When he was appointed Brexit Secretary in 2018, he was given no power to conduct negotiations, prompting journalist Owen Jones to tweet: “They’re just putting random people off the street into ministerial positions now and hoping we don’t notice.” It seems they are still doing that.
But the damage is done and it seems all but the most staunch Johnson toadies are agitating for him to be removed.
Andrew Bridgen told the BBC the PM “should do what he should have done some time ago, and resign”.
“If he doesn’t do that, the party will have to force him out.”
It seems the Tories are on the march. To add snap to their step, YouGov has conducted a lightning poll showing more than two-thirds of UK voters – and a majority of Tories – want Boris Johnson to quit as prime minister:
SNAP POLL: Most Tory voters – and two thirds of Britons – say Boris Johnson should resign as PM
One thing is certain: Johnson is unlikely to go willingly.
If he is to leave 10 Downing Street, he’ll have to be forced out. But how soon can it happen?

Champagne for some: rising income inequality and stagnant growth for poor families mean most of the UK is teetering on the brink of financial disaster – and our politicians have been to blame since 1992.
Income growth for poor households has suffered “complete collapse” over the past 20 years.
Income inequality has run rampant under successive governments since 1992, with five of the most unequal years taking place since 2013-14.
Add these together and our failed politicians have left the UK’s families “brutally exposed” to the cost of living crisis.
Real typical household disposable income growth for working age families fell to 0.7% a year in the 15 years leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Non-pensioner family earnings rose 2.3% per year, or 25% per decade, between 1961 and 2004-05. Average income growth dropped to 0.7% between 2004-05 and 2019-20.
Too many families today have low discretionary incomes, little or no private savings (one-quarter have less than a month’s buffer), and an inadequate social security safety net (basic unemployment support is now down to just 13 per cent of average pay, its lowest level on record).
The lowest fifth of the population had no greater earnings on the eve of the pandemic than in 2004-05, despite GDP per person expanding by 12% during this period.
On the eve of the pandemic, social and private leased households’ incomes were 37% and 24% below average. Single parents had 35% lower salaries, while children under 5 had 20% lower incomes.
Couples without children (33% higher), mortgagors (27% higher), those 55-60 (19% higher), and those in the South East of England had salaries well above the general median (12 per cent higher).
The research says salary is driving Britain’s falling living standards. Typical salaries remain the same as they were before the financial crisis, reflecting a salary loss of £9,200 per year.
Adam Corlett, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said a solution needed to be found quickly: “To do that, we must address our failure to raise pay and productivity levels, strengthen our social safety net, reduce housing costs and build on what we’ve done well – such as boosting employment for lower-income households.”

What will be the excuse this time? Whatever Starmer says, the facts are clear: he has led Labour to its worst by-election result EVER. The party is on course for destruction under his leadership. If he stays, we’ll know that is what he wants.
Don’t think for a moment that the Liberal Democrats are on the rise again.
Ed Davey’s claim that his party’s victory in the Chesham and Amersham by-election means his party is now the main threat to the Tories in many areas is nothing but hot air.
No – the main shock of the by-election (triggered by the death of Tory Cheryl Gillan) is the collapse of support for the Labour Party under Keir Starmer.
Labour scraped together just 622 votes – that’s just 1.6 per cent of the votes cast, meaning the party even lost the £500 deposit it paid to take part.
It is the worst by-election result in Labour’s 121-year history.
Yes, turnout was lower than at a general election; yes, there may have been tactical voting to remove the Conservatives; and yes – Labour has never been in a position to win this particular Parliamentary seat.
But in general elections with turnout twice as high, Labour has historically won around 7,000-8,000 votes, with the 11,374 it received under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership in 2017 its best result of all.
Once again, claims that Labour would do better with any leader other than Corbyn are destroyed.
And once again, Starmer will be looking to his Big Book of Excuses for a way to explain why he is dragging a once-great socialist party down to ruin in a mire of sub-Tory neoliberalism, focus group psychobabble and flag-waving.
Once again we see that the British public wants genuine, traditional (pre-Blair) policies and won’t be fooled by sharp haircuts, sharp suits, and vague announcements.
Labour is now in crisis. If Starmer continues as leader, he could drag the party down to destruction.

Betrayed again: it seems early inquiries into the Hillsborough tragedy were organised in order to deflect criticism of the police while having no legal weight at all.
It seems to me that somebody has been dancing around the law in a very clever way.
Three people accused of perverting the course of justice, with regard to the Hillsborough disaster that killed 96, have been acquitted.
The reason? The statements they prepared – which have been called into question – were provided to a public inquiry chaired by Lord Taylor in 1990 – but it was not a statutory inquiry, therefore not “a court of law”, so there was no “course of public justice” which could be perverted.
In that case, what was the point of having such an inquiry?
Nothing it found can be considered safe.
We have no information on whether the statements by retired Ch Supt Donald Denton, retired Det Ch Insp Alan Foster and former solicitor Peter Metcalf were slanted to minimise blame on South Yorkshire Police.
Without knowing that, we cannot know whether the conclusion of the inquiry – the inquiry, mark you – was accurate or not.
The question therefore arises: why was this not a statutory inquiry? Was a political decision made to run it as it was, in order to avoid possible legal repercussions in the future – like the accusation of perverting justice now?
Some might be hoping that this judgement will close the book on Hillsborough – but it has only given us more reason to demand justice for the 96.

Boris Johnson: he has relied on mindless optimism and wishful thinking, and he has failed. The NHS in London is at the point of collapse and it is his fault.
The UK has recorded 1,325 Covid-19 deaths and 68,053 daily cases – the highest level of both in a single day.
Total – official – deaths are nearly up to 80,000, and nearly three million infections are known to have happened in the UK – almost one-twentieth of the population.
Meanwhile London Mayor Sadiq Khan has declared a major incident as the number of Covid cases in the capital’s hospitals hit “critical” levels.
He said the virus in London is now “out of control” and the NHS is “on the cusp of being overwhelmed” with 7,000 Covid patients in hospital – almost 2,000 more than the first peak last April – and almost 1,000 on ventilators.
The UK now has more Covid-19 cases per head of population than any other nation in the world.
This Writer has yet to see evidence that the Nightingale hospitals have been pressed into service, though.
There is good news: apparently the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is effective against the new variants of Covid-19 – both from the UK and South Africa.
Another vaccine has been approved by the UK’s regulator – made by Moderna – but the 17 million doses on order won’t arrive until March.
And a fourth – single-dose – vaccine by the Belgian arm of Johnson & Johnson could be approved in early February.
Finally, it seems two arthritis drugs may be able to save the lives of Covid patients, also.
But the speed at which the emergency has fallen out of control shows how ill-advised Boris Johnson has been in his strategy. He has relied on wishful thinking, and it has let him down.
His current plan is to put all his eggs in one basket and rely on the vaccination programme – which is stuttering due to supply issues and a failure to inoculate the designated number of people on time.
Only days ago he was promising an early release from lockdown with the creation of “mega-vaccination” centres in the Nightingale hospitals (indicating we may finally get some use out of them).
It is sheer, boneheaded stupidity.
All the way down the line he has adhered to a slack-jawed, mindless optimism. He thought Covid-19 was just a touch of flu – and was proved wrong. He thought it would be all right to let the infection run rampant through the population until herd immunity was established – wrong again. He thought it was okay to sell off personal protective equipment before the pandemic arrived, even though he knew it was coming.
He thought ventilators wouldn’t be needed.
He thought lockdown didn’t have to last very long.
He thought he could send people back to work and they wouldn’t catch or spread the disease.
He thought he could send children back to school and they wouldn’t catch or spread the disease.
He thought it would be okay to prioritise the economy – his friends’ bank balances – above our lives.
And he forced his opinions on the rest of us.
And 80,000 people are dead.
And three million people have been infected.
And millions of people will suffer the lasting effects for a long time to come.
And the National Health Service is at the point of collapse – exactly as he and everyone else in the Conservative government were told after Operation Cygnus in 2016.
He thought it would be okay to let that happen.
Well, if you live in London, with your health service in critical condition, I’d like to know: do you think it’s okay? I’m especially keen to hear from people who voted Conservative.
Remember: Johnson knew Covid-19 was coming.
He knew what he needed to do, and didn’t do it.
He knew it was likely to mutate, and ignored that.
And that’s how we got where we are.

Matt Hancock was left looking sheepish on Good Morning Britain today as he was confronted by an ICU nurse who had earlier asked how he could “look NHS staff in the face.
The Health Secretary appeared on GMB today as he addressed whether there would be a national lockdown, the confusion regarding schools and on ICU wards struggling over understaffing.
During the interview, Susanna Reid pointed out ICU nurse Dave Carr’s remarks that hospitals are “beyond breaking point”.
Hancock was shown a clip of what Dave would ask him if he was able to, which saw the nurse respond: “How he can seriously look any health worker in the face and tell us that he is stewarding the NHS and managing this pandemic properly?”
Fumbling, Hancock awkwardly replied: “Well, the staff across the NHS have done a great job… I’m very pleased that earlier in the year that we were able to give a significant pay rise to nurses across the board.”
Susanna … remarked that Dave had certainly not described the pay rise as “significant”.

On Tuesday, they published testimonies from complainants, statistical analysis, a CPS whistleblower’s allegations and other evidence from the case.
Some of these testimonies need to be read to be believed. Try this:
A woman who alleged that a man had raped her at gunpoint was told in a CPS letter that the weapon “was not a serious threat” during the alleged attack, and that the man may have thought she consented.
Who wrote that? They should go into the dock alongside the alleged rapist, as an accessory to the crime.
In a separate case, a gay woman who said she was raped by a man was accused of “engaging with the defendant” before the attack. Charges against a suspect, who was caught on CCTV, were dropped.
So there’s video evidence against this person but they weren’t charged because someone said the victim “engaged” with them. What does that even mean?
The End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) has accused the CPS of dropping a “merits-based approach” credited with increasing the number of rape prosecutions, but officials said they had not.
The High Court refused permission for a judicial review of the plummeting prosecutions, saw EVAW has appealed, and has raised more than £80,000 via crowdfunding to back the action.

Hinkley C: does this look like safe construction to you?
The dust has probably settled by now – physically, if not metaphorically.
The decision to build a third nuclear reactor at Hinkley Point in Somerset was hugely controversial and had been fought for 40 years before the Tories finally had their way in 2016.
They signed complex financial agreement with Électricité de France (EDF), the energy giant that is 83% owned by the French government, and China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN), a state-run Chinese energy company for the provision of the reactor, in a new design that has never been made to work, anywhere in the world.
For this, the UK is paying £20.3 billion and when it is working – if it ever does – the UK will pay £92.50 per megawatt-hour, which is roughly twice the current market rate for this kind of energy.
In a comment that typifies the scandal that has been Tory privatisation of UK utilities like energy, former EDF director Gérard Magnin has described Hinkley C as “a way to make the British fund the renaissance of nuclear in France”.
And now part of it has collapsed, sending a huge dust cloud into the skies above Somerset:
The 35-metre tower, weighing around 5,000 tonnes, suffered “structural damage” at around 7.30am, when onlookers claimed to have heard what sounded like an explosion.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud bang at around 7.30am, but energy supplier EDF has denied that a blast occurred, Somerset Live reports.
In a statement the company said no one had been hurt.
The energy supplier stated: “At around 7.30am a silo in the concrete batching plant at Hinkley Point C suffered structural damage, releasing a dust cloud around the area.
“Nobody has been injured and the emergency services were not required.
“An investigation is underway to understand the cause of the event.”
I reckon the cause is obvious: bad design, substandard construction materials, corner-cutting in order to maximise profits.
So not only is this project a hugely expensive white elephant, it is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen.
Are we looking at the West Country’s future Fukushima?
