A fair piece from the rabidly socialist CNBC:

I don't disagree that Nuclear is part of the UK's energy future - far from it - but my anger isn't about the choice of power generation. Not only has every leader starting with Blair gleefully taken every opportunity to tax us and give loads of that tax income directly to corporates and contracted-in service providers, we're now giving it out to foreign state entities whilst putting us on the hook for decades of profiteering from them!

We've never had it so good.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Worth noting the same polling also has Labour up 2 points. Still 7 points behind the Tories (31 vs 38 ) but although the Lib Dems seem to be doing well in council elections, it is not translating into taking any votes off Labour on a national poll stage.

Still more than enough for a likely Tory majority though.

Only in your mind.

NUT conference and others always offers a creche facility for parent delegates who would be otherwise bne thwarted from going because of childcare.

What? Organising a creche so that more people (parents) can attend meetings and conferences?

It's a facking outrage!

From Alan Gibbons, award winning childrens' author...

Momentum Kids has been set up to help politically active parents with childcare activities. There are some activities at The World Transformed this weekend and I am doing some story-telling. (Trotsky does not feature, but a gorilla does). Amid the Tiny Trots nonsense from the Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, this is what I actually said, quoted in the Mail:
'Children’s author Alan Gibbons, a supporter of Momentum Kids, said: ‘Socialists are not just people who organise in the Labour Party, trade unions or campaigns.
‘As young people grow, they need stories, poems, songs, drama and play to develop as complete human beings. An education system that treats them only as future productive drones develops only part of their personality.
‘We believe that children are naturally inquisitive and creative and we seek to develop that potential in the hope that a new, freer society, more responsive to human need, will fulfil their hopes, dreams and aspiration to the full.’

Organisers of Momentum Kids, which hopes to expand across the group's 150 local branches, said it would "create a space for questioning, curious children where we can listen to them and give them a voice".

That should read, and tell them what to think.

Optimistic as ever
