Museum of Neoliberalism

09/06/2025

This year at Glastonbury I'm moving the Hell Bus to the Greenpeace field and opening a new Apocalypse Museum with my co-curator on the Museum of Neoliberalism, Gavin Grindon.

We're looking for writers, activists, organisers who'll be at Glastonbury this year and would be up for doing a short talk or workshop at the Apocalypse Museum?

Theme would be anything related to the various apocalypses we face & how to resist them through disobedience.

Thanks!

Rachel Reeves explains how to run your household budget in today's Sun

"Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country." - Margaret Thatcher

"If you have maxed out your credit card, if you put off dealing with the problem, the problem gets worse.” - David Cameron

It feels like every chancellor and prime minister in living memory has presented some version of this completely inaccurate and misleading comparison between balancing a household budget and running a national economy, and its never met with the derision it deserves by the media. On the contrary it is presented as sound, logical and relatable, despite being demonstratably wrong.

As Avery Edison said on Twitter, "even *pretending* to believe these are relevant experiences should actually be disqualifying."

Anyone in government who refers to the "national credit card" being "maxed out" should, by law, either have to resign or take a compulsory economics course.

I've been thinking about doing a sequel to the Mini Daily Mail for a while and I think this might be the start of it. (I already have the front page ready to go.)

Keir Starmer pledged to abolish the undemocratic House of Lords in 2022. Now he's stuffing it with cronies.

Thangam Debbonaire and Luciana Berger, two former MPs and factional allies of Starmer, both lost their seats democratically because voters didn't want them to be in power anymore. Starmer has now given them power for life.

He's also rewarded David Evans, the former Labour Gen Sec who suspended Corbyn from the party, and Sue Gray, former civil servant, MI5 spy, and Starmer's chief of staff.

"Starmer would never do that"
He just did that.

Meanwhile, Badenoch has nominated notorious creep and "free speech but only for the far-right" campaigner Toby Young as a Lord.

I love living in a democracy, me.
