Chancellor Rachel Reeves is considering scrapping the windfall tax in the autumn budget this month.
The Windfall Tax was introduced for a reason: to make oil and gas companies pay their fair share while families struggled with sky-high energy bills.

rachel reeves has done this shit without actually finding out how the motability scheme actually works and has instead rammed through an evil and quite frankly stupid change in legislation off the back of how the theoretical shouty old gammon in the pub has told her it works
Rachel Reeves has removed Audi, BMW, Mercedes from the motability scheme because disabled people aren’t allowed nice things ignoring the better resale values and the fact cars like the Audi A1 and BMW 1-series are hardly limos www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/con...
UK's Motability scheme no longer includes premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes | Autocar
Announcement comes just weeks after chancellor Rachel Reeves vowed to axe luxury models from the programme

Fresh from meddling in the Palestine Action case and getting the judge replaced, Starmer's government also wants to abolish the right to a jury trial for most cases. The UK is sliding into the abyss. Democracy and the rule of law are in peril. Fascism is on the rise.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

“The Trump administration is working toward treating autism as something to be prevented, rather than building a health-care system that helps people who are autistic. It’s part of a larger backlash, both in the United States and around the world, against the concept of neurodiversity.”
For the past decade, conversations around autism shifted from focusing around curing #ActuallyAutistic people to accommodating and accepting autistic people. We now live in the RFK Jr. backlash, which shifts discussions around autism toward prevention

Discourse surrounding “AI” these days often feels like a guy showing you his shovel and you say, “that’s a nice shovel” and he says “I am going to perform surgery on my mother with this shovel” and you say “Oh God please don’t that is not what a shovel is for.”

Life gets easier for neurotypical people (and the neurodivergent people around them) when they realize that some things are very easy for them and very hard for other people. Your friend who’s always late is probably actually trying harder than you.

The phrase “if you cared, you would [remember, notice, be on time, listen, etc]” is so funny because I care so much it hurts but I can’t just change the behavior because that’s not how my brain works.
And by “so funny” I mean “utterly devastating.”

This message applies to everyone, but especially young men:
If you're struggling, don't bottle it up. Call a friend. Ask for help. Go to therapy. Don't be ashamed. Give the people in your life a chance to share with YOU how much they love you instead of saying it at your funeral when it's too late.
