Bushra Shaikh: The risk of renewed escalation...

The risk of renewed escalation with Iran is materially higher than it was a few weeks ago and Israel's military preparations are a major reason why. Israel is reportedly preparing for another offensive against Iran, while the U.S. is increasing its military presence in the region. If negotiations fail, the period after the U.S. midterms on November 3 could be the most dangerous. The current market/geopolitical assessment puts the odds at: 45% limited escalation 15% major escalation 40% diplomacy But don't mistake these figures for a prediction. In a fast-moving crisis, one military or political development can change the calculation overnight. The risk is rising.

Liz Webster: You’re looking in the wrong direction...

You’re looking in the wrong direction. The exploitation is not “migrants versus British people”. Migrants, British workers, farmers and consumers are all caught in the same system. Farmers are squeezed by processors and supermarkets. Workers are squeezed on wages. Consumers are squeezed on prices. Migrants are often used as cheap labour. Meanwhile more and more control over food production, processing, distribution and retail sits with a relatively small number of very large corporations. We all have to eat. That gives whoever controls the food system enormous power. So turning British people against migrants simply divides the people with the least power while leaving the structure above them untouched. That is the danger I’m talking аbout: an increasingly feudal economic model in which ordinary people produce, work and consume, while ownership and control become ever more concentrated. The argument isn’t British versus migrant. It is people versus concentrated corporate power.

Ben Habib: We are in an abusive relationship...

We are in an abusive relationship with our own government. For years the public has been hammered by Covid lockdowns, Ukraine, the Middle East and a relentless cost-of-living crisis. All the while, Britain has been sitting on its own energy reserves. Now, with prices surging and geopolitical risk rising, the Government suddenly approves Jackdaw. Why now? Because reality has finally smashed through the ideology. Every country needs cheap bountiful energy. It is critical for prosperity and security. Our government has been and is abusing us.

Andrew Bridgen: As expected Inflation inevitably...

As expected Inflation inevitably jumps following the massive increases in fuel costs. This trend will continue and may well push the UK economy as well as many others across Europe into a recession by January. Unless a solution is found quickly to the energy crisis it will be a long hard Winter for many. The long established ‘Epstein class’ plan to create worldwide energy scarcity and a follow on food shortage is well on track to deliver in 2027.

Tommy Robinson: Landlords are being offered three-year...

Landlords are being offered three-year contracts at double the market rate to evict tenants and house invaders. Clearsprings Ready Homes, operates on a £7billion taxpayer-funded contract. One landlord in Southwark, South London, says he had been offered £4,500 a month for their three-bedroom flat. Clearsprings also said it would cover bills, council tax and maintenance. More treason by Labour.
