You know what they think of you, when they think they can feed you laughable utter bollox like “Fiscal rules”.
And you believe them. They take us all for dribbling fools.

Fiscal rules are works of fiction. They are as made up as fairy tales are, and yet the Chancellor is asking us to believe that she should manage the economy by complying with them. Why is she so deeply misguided, whilst taking us for fools?

I cannot stand silently by as the GMC fails patients in the PA debacle.
Its entire point is to keep patients safe from harm - but it’s failing dismally.

Whatever happened to the ‘rule of law’ in the UK?
Even if people can get access to the courts, at best they will get an interpretation of law, not justice.

It is a sad truth that literally everyone in any position of power is dancing along to the billionaires tune to maximise the billionaires profits.
Because if they don't, they will be fired.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
