Always look more carefully at what you vote for than what you vote against. Starmer has not exactly championed core Labour party values. Patience is not a virtue when the leaders are determined to follow the bland path that led Biden to such a dangerous defeat

Any sensible tax has limits on when it kicks in. The problem with crypto isn't small people gambling by buying a few coins it is systematic hiding of wealth and the profits from crime.

The only real use for crypto is for criminals and tax avoiders to move money. Time to tax every purchase and sale and to fiercely control this parasitical pyramid scheme.

Under the Tories we expected a 3 out of 10 government, but got a 1 out of 10. We expected a 7 out of 10 from Labour, but got a 2. Labour's not worse, but they're an even bigger disappointment.

It is going to be interesting to see how Trump can convince a court that his reputation has been damaged by the BBC when he has done such a good job of damaging it all on his own through his attitude to women and to power. All the defence has to do is to say Epstein. Or show Congress storming.
