A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social This is what I want journalists to find out: traceability for political decisions that seem absurd. Lobbying is legal, evidently, but should it be, beyond petitions to Parliament?

The situation reeks of conflicts of interest and legitimised corruption.
