The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

If you’re worried about Reform taking over the UK, take some comfort from the Daily Telegraph. In its latest swivel-eyed rant, it analysed polls and said the outcome is actually likely to be a “left wing coalition of chaos”.

Unfortunately the Telegraph won’t let me post a link.

A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) shows that estimates about the damage done by Brexit have underestimated its impact over the course of a decade. Data now suggests that Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6%–8%, reduced investment 12%–18%, and reduced productivity by 3%–4%.

“A new wave of nostalgia-bait content is going viral, and it’s broken containment – it has spread well beyond Facebook, popping up on X, YouTube, and TikTok. Much of it is obviously ‘slop’. But most notably and horrifyingly of all, it isn’t aimed at boomers – it is aimed squarely at millennials.”
Why Facebook is suddenly full of nostalgia for the recent past
Millennials used to mock their parents’ sepia-tinted Facebook posts. Now they’re the ones yearning for a simpler time - before student debt and existential angst
