Broken promises, rising taxes: Inside Reform UK’s first year in power
#BrokenPromises #failedToDoHomework #fantasyEconomics #ReformInefficiencyDepartmentReform has run councils for a year. As local elections near, we ask: how has the party performed in power?
Broken promises, broken roads, and broken council leadership teams – that’s the outcome of Reform UK’s first year in power, an investigation by openDemocracy reveals.
[…] Reform raised taxes in every council where it holds or shares power. Potholes continue to cause accidents and damage, and councillors’ struggles over where to make promised savings have put much-loved local services at risk of closure.

More bullshit on this topic. If you want density in Ballard, especially in the North and in Greenwood, best to keep the Ballard line. Even Dan Strauss gets this.

And FWIW, I think she does need to raise taxes, even if that breaks a manifesto commitment.
But her dishonesty in pretending all this time that she didn't need to is very disappointing.
Yes, the economy has been knocked sideways by Brexit, covid-19, the Ukraine war, and Liz Truss.
But seriously, which of those things did Reeves not know about when she wrote the manifesto or gave last year's "one and done" budget?

Why isn't this considered wage theft? "“All Common Stock will be canceled for no consideration and all Options will be canceled and extinguished for no consideration,” "
Apparently employees were given stock options, and were encouraged to buy stock - ALL shares held by employees were Common Stock. When Private Equity bought the company, the shares were declared worthless (of course the the CEO, etc all will receive payouts).

Trump Cancels Deal With Tribes to Restore #ColumbiaRiverSalmon
"Less than two years ago, the administration of President Joe Biden announced what tribal leaders hailed as an unprecedented commitment to the Native tribes whose ways of life had been devastated by federal dam-building along the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
"The deal, which took two years to negotiate, halted decades of lawsuits over the harm federal dams had caused to the salmon that had sustained those tribes culturally and economically for thousands of years. To enable the removal of four hydroelectric dams considered especially harmful to salmon, the government promised to invest billions of dollars in alternative energy sources to be created by the tribes.
"It was a remarkable step following repeated failures by the government to uphold the tribal fishing rights it swore in treaties to preserve.
"The agreement is now just another of those #BrokenPromises.
"President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday pulling the federal government out of the deal. Trump’s decision halted a government-wide initiative to restore abundant salmon runs in the Columbia and Snake rivers and signaled an end to the government’s willingness to consider removing dams that blocked their free flow."

I am proud to be an #Episcopalian
Presiding Bishop Rowe’s letter regarding #EMM & the decision to not assist with the resettlement of white Afrikaners: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/publicaffairs/letter-from-presiding-bishop-sean-rowe-on-episcopal-migration-ministries/
Not only has federal funding been halted but payment for work already done is being withheld. #BrokenPromises
“I am saddened and ashamed that many of the refugees who are being denied entrance to the United States are brave people who worked alongside our military in Iraq & Afghanistan and now face danger at home because of their service to our country.
“As Christians, we must be guided not by political vagaries, but by the sure & certain knowledge that the kingdom of God is revealed to us in the struggles of those on the margins. Jesus tells us to care for the poor & vulnerable as we would care for him, & we must follow that command. Right now, what that means is ending our participation in the federal government’s refugee resettlement program & investing our resources in serving migrants in other ways.”

But >100 days into his 2nd term, #Trump has seemingly lost interest in #Gaza. A fragile #ceasefire collapsed in early March, & Trump did little to salvage it as the White House shifted the focus of its regional diplomacy toward #Iran. #Israel’s airstrikes & bombardments resumed, killing myriad #civilians. No lucrative real estate deals for Gazan waterfront properties seem in sight.

So many broken promises, in just the first few weeks.

And just to remind you what Starmer promised when he was standing for Labour leader, he promised to "support the abolition of tuition fees".
Putting them up is not the same thing as abolition.

“For more than forty years, the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) has languished somewhere in a dusty filing cabinet in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The ICESCR was signed by President Carter in 1977 and he promptly forwarded it to the Senate for its advice and consent, but there has been no action on the pending treaty since 1979.”
