it's that time of the month again when the hosting meter needs a few more pounds to keep the site ticking. Ideally we need £10 before the end of the month, otherwise it has to come out of my pocket. With over 0 blogs listed, if each author donated just two pounds a year the site would stay alive. Why not make this month the month you help out?
Many thanks
The last thing I expected when I wrote the previous post condemning the cutting, indeed abandonment, of USAid by the amoral/immoral President Trump, was that i would have to follow it with a similar article on a similar decision bu what i had supposed was a relatively moral and upright British Labour Government. A previous post, written five months ago , https://keynesianliberal.blogspot.com/2024/10/ details the fifty year struggle for the British government to fulfil its promised, made by Conservative government under Ted heath, to devote 1% of our massive GDP to aid the development of the world's poorest countries.

I have only just come across this article of a few weeks ago in Politics Home and the pessimistic view it takes of Welsh Labour's prospects in next year's Senedd elections.

The reference of course, is to the rather bizarre electoral system designed to give maximum control to poltical party bosses and imposed on us without proper consultation, which with the rise of Reform, takes the next Senedd election into uncharted territory, Welsh Labour's ...
We've already heard the legend that is Allaster McKallaster commentating on Seventies football at its finest, but it turns out he's just as much at home with rugby union. Before their coverage of the Calcutta Cup on Saturday, ITV screened a highlights reel from McKallaster's commentaries on Scotland's four consecutive victories in the contest. We may at last have found a worthy successor to Bill McLaren.

"With just two days until we mark three years since the invasion, we need to talk about this man, because no one truly knows what could have happened if he hadn't been there to lead. This is a man who could have left. A man who was expected to leave. The world was really expecting he would run."Victor Kravchuk pays tribute to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Jennie Kermode is worried that US politicians are again talking about mass sterilisation: "The US first began sterilising people with mental illness - requiring neither their consent nor that of their next of kin - in ...

The Guardian reports that a Guardian investigation into the House of Lords has raised questions over the accountability of parliament's second chamber, with revelations about how a string of peers are benefiting from commercial interests. The paper says that one in 10 members have been hired to give political or policy advice, according to their own declarations, and others do paid work for companies that could conflict with their role as legislators: The findings expose weaknesses in the Lords code of conduct and raise questions about whether the rules on lobbying and paid employment should be tightened in line with ...
