This post has a link to a speech by the excellent George Monbiot. He explains why we don't have to vote for the lesser of two evils of Labour or the Tories (three evils if you include Reform). The speech lasts just under 11 minutes. If you have the time to spare it is well worth a listen.

Some might think that cuts for the disabled are something which don't impact them as they are not disabled. Cuts to cold weather payments for the elderly don't matter as they are not old. Policies which cause poverty for our children don't matter as their children are not impacted or maybe they don't have kids.

We need a more caring society which is repulsed by targeting the most vulnerable while the rich live in luxury.

Who's next if we say or do nothing?

Getting blocked doesn't bug me, but I have found myself annoyed when I acknowledge that the tough circumstances for the poor span both of the past administrations, and neither conservatives nor liberals seem willing to acknowledge that.

The wealth gap isn’t an accident—it’s built into the system. The rich use tax loopholes, real estate, and passive income while the middle class is told to ‘max out your 401(k) & wait until 65.’ It’s time to break free: build assets, create cash flow, and play the real game. #WealthInequality
