There is renewed speculation about the forced resignation of Nuland and her subsequent silence. When last in Kyiv she warned Russia to expect a big surprise. Some analysts are linking this to the Ukraine incursion into Russia in the direction of the nearest nuclear base to the border. Was this the surprise she was talking about, and did the US forewarn Russia? Zelensky certainly thinks there was a leak about the incursion into Belgorod which has seen the deaths of a large number of Ukrainian soldiers masquerading as Russian dissidents. If true it shows how precarious the situation in and around Ukraine really is.

It has been pointed out that the £218 billion in cuts to public services may be overstated, due to GDP growth and higher taxes. Far from it. Projecting future GDP growth is not consistent with the experience of no growth over the last two years. Furthermore even the OBR projects a fall in the tax take over these years of £93.6 billion (see their table A.6 page 151, the link is in the main article) making it unlikely that increased taxation will moderate the cuts. Of course these cuts will be unsustainable, which means the Tories are passing a loaded gun onto Labour.

This article contains the latest turnover data for the US economy made possible by the resumption of quarterly estimates of gross output and gross value added by the BEA. It uses this data to explain why corporations have abandoned in part or in whole their green pledges, demonstrating once more that capitalism is the problem not the solution to the crisis facing humanity which will come to a head this summer.

A few days after I wrote this article the Labour Party withdrew support for its candidate in Rochdale and on Monday evening instructed local members not to campaign for him. This was due to comments this Starmerite fellow had made over the conduct of Israel during the Hamas incursion on the 7th of October. The lack of a Labour candidate is likely to lead to Galloway being elected which is disturbing the establishment and undermining Starmer. Of course ructions in the Labour Party will be muted because it is after all an electoral party whose single aim is to get elected, and nothing must get in the way of this. But clearly the high water mark for Labour has passed and from now on it is all downhill.
