How has fascism in Britain got this far? Neoliberalism has opened the door for it
theguardian.com/commentisfree/
Why seek to nix the financial regulations inspired by the 2008 crash, when the likely result is a repeat performance? Why reject a wealth tax, when a 2% levy on assets of over £10m could raise £24bn a year? Why not adopt the measures proposed by Patriotic Millionaires, generating £60bn a year? Or those suggested by political economist Richard Murphy, worth £90bn in tax revenue? Why abandon plans to tax non-doms properly? Why not demand an end to the Bank of England’s destructive quantitative tightening?

Bytes Europe · How UK social welfare reforms hit Northern Ireland – The Irish TimesPost-Brexit, UK growth is sluggish, and its public finances are under pressure. The uncertain geopolitical situation means defence spending is being ramped up, at a time government borrowing needs to reduce.To square the circle, the Labour government is seeking to cut spending in the rapidly-increasing area of disability-welfare payments. The aim is to achieve savings of £5 billion under this heading by 2029. Unsurprisingly, this is now highly controversial, and claimants across the spectrum of disability are worried.The rise in numbers on disability schemes go back a decade, when the Conservative government cut the rate of unemployment benefit to less
