If unearned income, from shares and dividends, is taxed at a lower rate than earned income, from wages, it bakes in inequality and ensures the rich get ever richer. #politics

we went to nuttington-cum-shittown - until 1987 a town synonymous with artisan gravel production. now the town's biggest employer makes jelly for pork pies. we asked a racist if they wanted more racism. they said "yes".

Nigel Farage has acknowledged publicly that Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy had been “friendly with Ghislaine Maxwell for years”, describing him as a well-connected international businessman.

Farage is in the files ..

#Farage comes back out against working from home to a crowd of pensioners… and has also repeated that he never said that council tax would go down. The party did on all their leaflets. Semantics. Asshat.

Tommy and Farage are strangely quiet on all the pedos in the Epstein files? I thought they were protecting our women and children?

If Ghislaine Maxwell says Donald Trump is innocent that’s good enough for me. Now if you’ll excuse me, a nice young man wants to sell me Tower Bridge.

The #Farage riots were supposedly to protect our women and children from evil migrants… and yet now we have Farage mentioned in the Epstein pedo files… every accusation is an admission?

It's hard to overstate the degree to which the general public is being lied to about trans people
Alex Massie trumped up a fake campaign in the times to claim hundreds of rape convictions for women in the justice system were actually trans women despite the numbers covering several hundred more convictions than there are trans women in prison for any crime.
To understand how much Alex Massie actually cares about women's safety: when I called out his transphobe-in-arms Nick Cohen for multiple acts of sexual misconduct against cis women, which eventually got him sacked, Massie went berserk at me.

Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.

The Home Secretary has several times said she thinks levels of net migration remain quite high + are comparatively high

This is mainly a vibe.

There are a few factual mistakes/over-spins in her explanation of why she thinks this but many journalists + MPs may not quite notice those.

#Reform appear to have broken election laws in the Gorton Denton Manchester by election. A blue letter has gone out without party details. Cos they are the establishment so it only matters if anyone else breaks the law. Laws are for little people. Expect an honest mistake excuse?

So Trump thinks there was cheating in the election cos he didn’t win everything? Narcissist asshat can’t imagine that anyone may disagree with him. That’s why he thinks protesters are paid actors. Delusional.
