I'd much rather that my income tax was raised than my salary sacrifice was carved up....
I’m not saying I won’t moan about it when the time comes to pay, but I think the Govt should raise my income tax because I am profoundly worried about the state of public services.

"Learn to read without three cueing" is the most excellent (and correct) riposte to a certain kind idiot, and I shall be adopting it forthwith!
I shared an intensely personal story about my experience with The Car, and why I want Options built into public policy that eliminate the /need/ for me to use them, and you have reacted like a petty illiterate. Learn to read without using three cueing.

Hot take: whilst I have every respect for understanding of old folklore (and sympathy with the person wearing it), it's not unreasonable to mistake this for something vaguely satanic if you aren't familiar with a bit Wind in the Willows/ancient lore.

I don’t want McSweeney sacked because of this briefing ‘war’. I want him sacked because he’s steered Labour down such an awful, xenophobic path and paved the way for Farage in number 10.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

I can only assume that in their obsessive electioneering to a mythical constituency, the Labour Party are going to go into the next election with the slogan "we actively waged war on the liberal professional middle classes"
If you think that “the slow vanishing of employee benefits” is a better trade politically than “the other lot saying you broke your promise on income tax”, you are out of your tree: www.ft.com/content/1160...

The creator calling churches and asking for help for her starving baby to test them is doing god’s work (pun intended lol), and it reveals what a lot of us already knew.
The backlash from the churches who failed the test (many mega churches) has also been very telling.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

We are so so fucked
How we do pensions and retirement income in this country is predicated on a few assumptions, one of which is that old people have minimal housing costs and/or security of tenure. It's not happening anymore, and will get worse.

Aside from the deeply serious nature of the allegations, this is also massively comical and is deserving of the Benny Hill Music
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.
