PS still think the current iteration of the Labour Party can do one.
The BBC article on the budget is reeeeeeally pushing a narrative. People being "dragged" (their choice of vocab) into higher tax thresholds. Playing upon ignorance of progressive taxes... also "mansion tax" might CAPTURE homes in expensive areas. Boo fucking hoo.

I shouldn't be shaking with anger and fear when I arrive for work in the morning but I was yesterday. I got "close passed" by a lorry on Smithdown Road (Liverpool) and it was bloody terrifying.

Finally got through all 8 hours of the Let It Be doc in a few late night sittings. An absolute joy. Been on the to-do list for a while, all it took was having a baby. Who knew there was an entire extra half day to be enjoyed, it's just called night time?!

Agreeing with my wife that moving my foot would be too much of a disturbance for this little guy and that as a result, she is responsible for all drink replenishment.

Characterising equality initiatives as “‘actually, we're about anti-whiteness'” is the kind of thing Musk and Trump do. This is far-right framing from Streeting, and has no place in any mainstream political party in the UK, let alone the ostensibly left-wing(!) one
From Peston on Twitter: Streeting thinks the NHS suffers from “anti-whiteness”. On the right, a BMJ report into sickle cell care.
