Most people cut off by the tide weren’t swimming — they were walking dogs, exploring rock pools, or taking photos. Stay aware of what the water’s doing, even on dry land.

Rachel Reeves is going to tax work and NOT WEALTH.
Yet again, Labour are giving their banker mates in The City a leg up, while making regular people worse off.
Let’s give some help to the people that actually need it.
