Rachel Reeves and the 2p Trap
The chancellor’s proposed income tax shuffle is clever accountancy but toxic politics — a pledge-break disguised as fiscal discipline, and proof that Labour has trapped itself in rules it cannot escape. The post Rachel Reeves and the 2p Trap appeared first on anti capitalist musings .
The Telegraph’s Fantasy Army of the “Workshy”
More than 200,000 young men aren’t “signed off for life”—they are the reserve army of labour, conscripted into the Telegraph’s morality tale to prepare the ground for austerity. The post The Telegraph’s Fantasy Army of the “Workshy” appeared first on anti capitalist musings .
Red Herring, Not Red Terror
David Frost calls it a new “Red Terror.” The truth is plainer: it’s the Right’s wars, coups and crackdowns that have spilt the deepest blood in politics. The post Red Herring, Not Red Terror appeared first on anti capitalist musings .
The Invention of the Narco-Terrorist
Trump’s latest “kinetic strike” killed three unknown Venezuelans he labelled “narco-terrorists.” The phrase is not law but incantation, a word that strips away humanity and legitimises killing. From Vietnam body counts to Obama’s “signature strikes,” America has always named its enemies into existence, and into death.

Beyond Creeping Fascism
To call Robinson’s rally “populist” or “right-wing” is to miss the point. Fascism doesn’t require every marcher to be a coherent ideologue; it requires a mass, a scapegoat, and leaders prepared to turn grievance into violence. That is what we saw in London.

Fight Back or Die? The Far Right in Whitehall and Labour’s Cowardice
The events of Saturday (13/09) prove that Britain can go fascist. Musk calls for violence, the Telegraph and Times launder his words, and Starmer clings to the flag. We must name the danger or watch it grow. The post Fight Back or Die? The Far Right in Whitehall and Labour’s Cowardice appeared first on anti capitalist musings .
Tominey’s doublethink
Camilla Tominey’s sainthood act for Charlie Kirk trades politics for piety. The Right already owns the machinery (press, finance, courts, police) and Kirk was part of the drive shaft. A death certificate doesn’t wash clean a career built on making violence respectable. The post Tominey s doublethink appeared first on anti capitalist musings .
Flatlining Growth, Rising Crisis
The ONS reports zero growth in July. The papers call it “grim news” for Rachel Reeves. In reality, it is the latest entry in a long obituary for British capitalism — a system now sustained only by euphemism, stagnation, and decline.

They never want to pay their tax
Jim Ratcliffe built his fortune on Britain’s resources and workers. Now he cries foul at Labour’s windfall tax, shuts down jobs at Grangemouth, and shifts billions abroad—all while eyeing public money for a new Manchester United stadium. The rich never change: austerity for us, subsidy for them. The post They never want to pay their tax appeared first on anti capitalist musings .
