He is given a free pass by all the media. If he was given even a small percentage of the scrutiny left wing parties receive, their whole scam would be exposed in no time
BBC news reporting Farage saying he’ll “cut crime by half”.
If they ever reported the Greens, and the Greens said they’d do something super-Green, like cut fossil fuel by 95%, there would be questions “how?” But Farage gets to just promise an impossible thing, and that’s the story? What a shitshow.

Come on Laura - stop letting Farage get away with grotesque lies on #climate - the green economy is growing 3 times faster than rest of the economy. The green transition is in our *economic interests* & it’s Farage who’ll de-industrialise the UK, not green policy #bbclaurak

It's time to start hitting rich people where it hurts if they commit crime. Percentage fines.
Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells was stripped of her CBE after the subpostmasters scandal. But somehow she was allowed to keep the millions of pounds she pocketed in bonuses.

It's a crazy notion. Yes, there is something to be said for occasional direct human interaction, but mostly not having a long commute and being able to control one's work environment is more important
Forcing people back into the ‘workplace’ is a good way to destroy productivity.

Some employers want employees to work five days a week in the office. But this could actually be damaging productivity

Destroying evidence is a generous take on it, massive fraud is more likely
"DOGE is eliminating the government's tape backups because they're too stupid to know why they're important" is the generous interpretation, when what they might actually be doing is stealing all the money and trying to destroy the records of them doing so.

Even if you did show them papers, there are so many ways they can be ignored.
when people argue with me about due process and how they'd be fine bc they're citizens, I just say "You can't prove you have the right papers if you go straight to prison and never get to show anyone your papers" and then most of them get it

Road damage is related to the fifth power of axle weight. Which means if road damage were taxed on this basis, cyclists would pay a fraction of a penny and lorries a lot, lot more.
Do you think if people realised this is a major contributor to deteriorating roads and increasing potholes, they might be more persuaded to go with lighter and smaller vehicles? Their owners should pay a lot more towards those costs in their annual vehicle tax.

Exactly so. To be fair, they do do that in some countries. Which tend to have low rates of corruption. How about that?

£500 million would only build about a thousand homes in London. Chickenfeed.
Really welcome news for Londoners. This additional funding means the new government has now increased investment for affordable housing in London by more than half a billion pounds in just eight months.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves billed the investment as the 'biggest boost in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation' as she visited a housing site with Angela Rayner

Wage theft is theft and should be subject to the same sanctions. Shoplifting is punished severely, bad employers should be made an example.
Some of the companies that didn't pay the minimum wage to some of their workers, until chased by regulators.
Staffline Recruitment, Rank Group, Mitchells & Butlers, Easyjet, Greggs, Moss Bros, WH Smith, Lloyds Pharmacy, Marks and Spencer, Argos.
Any forget to pay the right amount to bosses?

Prem Sikka: A boost in the minimum wage is welcome, but more must be done to improve people’s material conditions
'Despite the increase, the minimum wage will still be comparatively low, and millions will live below the minimum acceptable standard of living.'

This is terrible, and not what I expect from a "Labour" government. If they don't listen to reason then there will be huge demonstrations, if they are lucky.

Liz Kendall, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, has just confirmed plans to make cuts to disability benefits. This would affect some of the most vulnerable in our society and could push more people with mental health problems into poverty. 1/6
