The country wants a wealth tax on assets.

They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked.

They've got no actual argument.

3: First watch of Late Nights Trains (aka Night Train Murders). Sleazy horror as two young women are sexually assaulted on a train to Italy by two scumbags with the twisted addition of a psychotic woman joining in. Ennio Morricone provides a sparse yet effective score 5/10

Don’t hate it as much as dubbing the horrific “NOOOOOO” over the most perfect scene as Vader wrestles between his devotion to the Emperor and the imminent death of his son.
Star Wars marathon on AMC! I forgot they put Hayden Christiansen in the end of Return of the Jedi and I still hate it

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.

It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?

Remember when Brexiters were reduced to pretending that pint bottles of champagne represented a major win?

The real benefits scandal is that companies can pay employees such as low wage so the Government has to top it up for them to be able to survive.

And that the DWP knowingly enables and allows PIP assessors to lie on reports.

2: First watch of The Sugarland Express. Spielberg’s first theatrical feature yet his eye for the perfect shot is already in evidence. The 70s culture trend of backing the underdog is very much in evidence and there are cars, many many cars. 6/10

I fact checked this. It didn’t sound reasonable at first glance. Sadly it’s true.

Don’t forget, no matter how much Nigel Farage tries to shape Reform UK’s economic policy to win votes, at heart he’s a disaster capitalist.

Tax breaks for UK company cars cost the exchequer £3.27 billion a year

Motability costs £1 billion

Both are valuable to the folk who get them, and yet we save our pitchforks and torches for disabled people

Heard on BBC today: “The government’s priority is winning the next election.”

The government’s priority should be protecting its citizens, ensuring they have access to all the services they require and a standard of life above poverty.

This is why we are constantly failed by our government.

Enoch Powell was opposing the Race Relations Bill. It banned racial discrimination in public places and made the promotion of hatred on the grounds of 'colour, race, or ethnic or national origins' an offence.

To prevent black and Asian people moving in next door.

So when you think that Nigel Farage’s childhood racism is consigned to his past, today he revived it, honouring Powell who he invited to join UKIP, his hero.

He was talking about those that came to Britain from the commonwealth.

It led to attacks on black and Asian Britons, it led to doors being inscribed with KBW.

Keep Britain White.

Today, Nigel Farage reiterated his belief that Enoch Powell ‘was right’.

If you are a Sikh, he’s talking about you - about how ‘wearing turbans whilst driving a bus would disrupt Britain’.

If you are black, he’s talking about you - how when you moved in next door to white people, you ‘took over’.

Every year I order Stoutzilla at this time and their special barrel aged brew. Last year it was Stoutzilla barrel aged in cognac casks, this year it’s King Conka barrel aged in rum casks.
The Stoutzilla cans will be sampled this weekend, but I’ll be saving King Conka for Christmas 🎅🏼 #Beer #Unbarred

A good way to judge a budget is how the markets react. Truss plunged the entire economy into a black hole. Today, they shrugged and carried on.It gave some a little more, it took a little away from some others. What it did do was enable paying for some social security for millions. Job done.
