"the corp takeover of Labour is now complete" "Labour Plc can begin the process of asset stripping & value extraction: slashing red tape, derisking finance, liberalising pensions & funnelling more &more capital into the markets.” It won't help our economy opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-…

There's only one way to protect us from the end of democracy and that is to learn the lessons that are clearly written on the wall and stop the financing of politics through private interests. The cost to us all is far too great NOT to fund it publicly democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-top…
