The older I get the less I think I know and the more comfortable I am with that.
Like I said first time, defeatism dressed as sophistication. The Greens may be naive and/or stretched, the Spanish may have made a hash of their tax. Doesn’t mean it can’t be done effectively, especially when those saying it can’t specifically discount redistribution policy in their analysis :)

Policy-free policy making, more like. The authors of that report specifically ring-fence inequality-reduction as a rationale for a wealth tax. Duh.

This is defeatism dressed up as sophistication.

I accept that these twits are going to do huge amounts of damage, and hurt many people.

But there is a thin silver lining:

They are going to provide a lot of entertainment, some of it slapstick.

“Only the best people”

#Trump ‘s pick.
Trump’s judgment.
Trump’s complicity.

Nothing personal to TY, but people with big egos in public life who say things like this have recently increasingly often turned out to be gropers and worse. This is bad judgment in Badenoch.

“Supporting scepticism” …
yeesh.

Scepticism doesn’t need “support”. Scepticism is just normal science...

Until there are facts.

And there are.. facts.

These people are evil.

So much belittlement in the comments. Wasted breath. They are contemptible, but they need to be beaten not insulted. This is how Brexit and Trump happened.

Yes! Because it will mean standing for an ideal, a vision, beyond the tired old “more growth, more stuff”. But Starmer/Reeves’s problem (one partly of their own making) is how to plot a course from here to there without it looking desperate instead of bold.
