There has been a strong reaction to the antisemitism allegations levelled at Nigel Farage - except from those you might have expected to condemn it most loudly. My piece for @jewishnews.bsky.social on a strange silence

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.
"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

Worth spending a few seconds processing this table properly
29th Division's report of their troop availability for the 1/7/1916 assault on the Beaumont-Hamel front. The last two columns show the number of officers & OR's who attacked, & the resulting casualties. "Dulce et Decorum est", Horace's line which Wilfred Owen post war called "the old Lie".

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have
“earnings over £125,140”
I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Have a closer look at this, Stephen. Jenrick was born in 1982 and is a Wolves fan. If he was in the away end the only times they played there after he was aged two were in League Cup ties in 1989 and 1996 and in the PL in 2003. Like everything else this shapeshifter says, I don't believe a word.

The UK’s problems aren’t caused by immigration
It’s not hard to see how so many came to worry about the issue. But the data isn’t there

We often forget that the UK is a big outlier: our welfare state is almost all redistribution (not social insurance).
People in other countries know that high earners face real economic risks - it's why they support the welfare state!
