If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

This (from: www.ft.com/content/75ce...) is something you can *feel* if you are in the UK, especially if you've experienced living abroad. But infuriatingly successive governments and our entire media are somehow absolutely committed to suggesting anyone who wants to change this is the devil...

The club have just dropped a load of tickets for Newcastle on the resale site, including some together, if anyone’s looking 👍

I also do think there is a rhetorical argument here as well.
Everyone is so fed up with the funk around the economy and society at the moment. A government willing to stand up and make a dramatic change would get a better (and a stress *better* not *good*) hearing on tax rises than one that fudges.

Yes, I think this is what the “it’s smart not to do income tax” stuff is missing. If you remove salary sacrifice on someone’s pension contributions you are increasing their income tax! If you freeze thresholds you are increasing their income tax!
Issue for Labour now isn't whether they break their manifesto pledge on tax. It is whether they do so in a way which is blatant, honest but sustainable - or whether they do so by a myriad of complex and likely insufficient means whilst arguing they are not.
Imho, one seems more toxic than the other

The fundamental problem:
58% of voters want public spending maintained or increased.
67% want taxes to stay at their current level or be cut.
In reality, it’s a binary choice. Taxes go up, or spending is cut. That’s it.

Grimly crisp illustration of the mechanism whereby toxic and unrepresentative social media shapes mainstream coverage.
Prominent journalist logs onto X, sees claim, assumes truth, repeats in national broadcast from trusted mainstream news org.
Happens all day every day, just especially stark here.

Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk.
What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

Everton travelled to Devon in December 1999 to face Exeter City in the Third Round of the FA Cup.
In the crowd that day was Sam Dibling, a local lad who was football daft. Little did he know that 26 years later, he'd have a son playing for the Toffees.

I agree with this but - as Giles' post effectively goes on to say - there *is* a way out of this fiscal corner, it's called raising taxes, and I don't think it's as politically impossible as people make out
Hard (by Labour's own doing) but not impossible
First, welfare revolts tells us nothing...
