Hi @mrjamesob.bsky.social A new entry for Unhinged Headlines from the BBC of all places......
What a ridiculous, hyperbolic headline this is.
The wording in the article isn't much better.

Hope HMRC are investigating whether Gill evaded tax on the bribes he received.

Shabana Mahmood asks MPs to stop mentioning Tommy Robinson's name (in relation to his support for her policies) as "he doesn't even think I am English. I find that offensive."

What did you get into Politics for Shabana?
To confiscate anything of value from the poorest people in the world.
Fucking scumbag.

Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

MGT would do well to google Ernst Rohm at this point and see how fash deal with useful idiots
Well, we finally have an answer about what MAGA believes. It has one and only one philosophical position, and that is that Trump’s lies about having nothing to do with Epstein must be accepted unquestioningly. It’s the whole movement distilled.

Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket.
Here's why it's not going to work

Please God can we go back to the days of Budget purdah. Two months of quiet from Treasury ministers, spads, and officials whilst they put the budget together might help to wind down this incessant speculation.
The United Kingdom really does have an unnecessarily complex tax system and adding c£20bn of fun little revenue raisers will not help. Today's newsletter:

Trump acolytes now seemingly redefining what a Paedophile is, to alleviate Epstein was not on my bingo card
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

It's actually devastating that the country is at a point where these questions are being asked in polls
10% of white people think you have to be white to be English - but 84% of white people disagree with that. Two-thirds of ethnic minorities think Englishness is a civic, not ethnic identity, though 1/4 of minority groups join 1/10 of the majority group in seeing it as ethnically defined (YouGov)

Ah, Captain Archibald Maule Ramsay MP, BBC critic and (checks notes) a pro-Nazi who the wartime Churchill coalition interned.
February 1937 Tory campaign against BBC "bias". To be fair, if Captain Maule Ramsay was leading the charge, "left-wing" probably covered everything up to and including Mussolini...
