#BBCQT We need to stop the right wing from conflating the 'wealthy' and the 'super rich'.
People earning high salaries are not the problem.
Tax income, capital gains, dividends etc, at the same rate and classify loans secured against unrealized gains as income.

Who is Morgan McSweeney?
Someone who I could not have a lower opinion of, even if he was on Epstein's list.

Comical to hear Rory Stewart claiming that 16 - 17 years old know nothing about politics.
Are we to understand that he thinks the reform voting block are astute critical thinkers?

If Trump survives the Epstein files, suing the BBC may prove to be his undoing.
If the UK government holds it's nerve, his lawyers will force him to drop the lawsuit or face perjuring himself.

Morgan McSweeney moving on from Corbyn to Starmer

Morgan McSweeney moving on from Corbyn to Starmer
Rumours of Starmer being replaced before the next election are giving people false hope.
It's false hope because the party apparatus are less 'Andy Burnham' more 'Wes Streeting'.
Personally I think that would be like torpedoing the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.
And the band played on.

+ Forget about wealth taxes, inheritance tax, etc.
+Income tax should have a top rate of 50%, base rate of 25%.
+ Any loan secured against unrealized gains (stock, property, etc) should be classified as income.
+ Crimal reform to make fines scale with wealth.
+ Exit tax.

Whether you review his time or office or his recent speeches you can see why Trump hates Obama.
Yes there is an element of racism but I think more than that, listening to Obama is one of the few occaisions when Trump realizes he is less, less inteligent, less capable, less.

Trumps $40BN bailout is part and parcel of denying that his personal world view is catastrophic.
Catastrophic for the us economy, reputation and hegemony.
He's so out of touch he doesn't realize that the crypto bros are a greater threat to the $ than BRICS.

Populists have normalised the stoking of a FUD as a means to manipulate politicians.
That said politicians are such spineless cowards, demonstrating no conviction whatsoever, is exactly why the victims of the grooming gangs are now being further manipulated by these sadists.

Ridiculous companies are claiming their systems are powered by 'SMART AI'.
As if they combed through the available LLMs, dismissing the dumb ones, to finally arrive at their utopia.
The sale of goods act needs a thorough rehash to push these trolls back under the bridge. #IONOS
