A letter a day to number 10. No 1,535 Saturday 27 August 2016. Dear Mrs May, Since 2010 we have seen the rise and rise of state cruelty. This isn’t about injustice, that’s normal, built into the system and has been from time immemorial. In days of yore, brutal men would just grab any land […]

Wages are no longer an entitlement, merely a reward
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,439 Friday 20 May 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, I was very impressed at this little nugget that you threw into the Queen’s speech for the State Opening of Parliament, “… and to move to a higher wage and lower welfare economy where work is rewarded.” It’s amazing, […]
Iain Duncan Smith – work cures mental illness
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,189 Tuesday 25 August 2015.

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,127 Wednesday 24 June 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, Dear old Pob (you probably know him as Gove), he’s a little gem, isn’t he? To save him having to cut yet more from legal aid he’s decided that wealthy and successful law firms who’ve been creaming the legal […]

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,108 Saturday 06 June 2015.

Britain’s shame
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,093 Friday 22 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, People still ask, ‘How could what happened in Nazi Germany have come about?’ Today, Britain is an object lesson in exactly how it came about.

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,091 Wednesday 20 May 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, As a child of the post war era I recall it as a time of hope, of visits to the local newsagents to buy sweets, I don’t remember at what age, but certainly under 10 and free to roam […]
The lives of the poor are acceptable collateral damage to the Tories
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,065 Tuesday 21 April 2015.
