I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.

That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.

Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?

For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Earlier this week I had this debate about wealth taxes, austerity and spending.

The Labour MP attacks me repeatedly - Labour Government have taken to doing the same thing.

Interesting people can absolutely see through it & aren't going to be distracted.

April 2022 Income Tax Threshold £12,570
April 2031 Income Tax Threshold £12,570

Should be about £16,970.

Meaning every person earning £16,970 or more is paying £1,231.86 more in tax.

Threshold freezes are a tax on the poorest.

Each slight, dismissal and manipulation seems insignificant alone, yet together they break down identity and endurance. Death by a Thousand Cuts ℗ Cindy Ann Pedersen 2025 🎵 Lyrics: You didn’t scream, you didn’t shout Each little wound just wore me down A glance, a word, a subtle sting You broke my heart without breaking anything You hid the blade behind a smile Each cut so small, it took a while The pain was quiet, but it grew A thousand cuts I never knew It was death by a thousand cuts A whispered word, a stolen trust No single wound, no single blow But piece by piece, you let me go So small, I didn’t feel the pain But now I see the art you made A masterpiece of my slow decay Stream “Death by a Thousand Cuts” now: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/47k9kocAyh0OgWpW1V47ae?si=5d69e3ca244743f3 Apple: https://music.apple.com/gb/song/death-by-a-thousand-cuts/1802087198 🎧 Also available on most streaming platforms. 🎙️ Listen on We Resist Radio → https://weresistradio.com/cindy-ann-pedersen/ Creator of Survivor Music: Cindy Ann Pedersen | Award-Winning Songwriter Pathological Abuse Specialist | Advocate 🦋 Follow on BlueSky → https://bsky.app/profile/cindyannpedersen.com 🌐 More at → https://www.cindyannpedersen.com/ 📺 Explore Survivor Music playlists and follow Survivor Music, a podcast with raw, unfiltered talks that take you behind each Survivor Music song, exploring what inspired it, the tactics from The Pathological Playbook it exposes, and what victims and survivors endure in that season of Pathological Abuse.

Predators thrive on ignorance and shrugged shoulders, on “I don’t want to get involved,” on the collective decision to value comfort over courage.

Ignorance | Survivor Music (Official Music Video)
🎯 IGNORANCE When we refuse to see, the abuser’s version of reality wins by default. Ignorance isn’t just silence; it’s active protection of the predator. They thrive on shrugged shoulders, on “I don’t want to get involved,” on the collective decision to value comfort over courage. Every time a red flag is explained away, their grip tightens. Every survivor who is called “bitter” or “crazy” clears the path for the next victim. Ignorance doesn’t just allow abuse; it participates in it. Ignorance ℗ 2025 Cindy Ann Pedersen 🎵 Lyrics: Silence isn’t safety, it’s a weapon in disguise, Turning victims into pawns, beneath their web of lies. You turned your head, you played it safe, While they tightened chains and locked the gate. A cult of one, or half a land, Bound by lies and the abuser’s hand. Psychopaths with hearts of stone, Sociopaths reap what they've sown. Ignorance fuels the abuser’s crusade, Enabling power, ensuring they’re obeyed. Narcissists charm, Machiavellians plot, While silence ensures justice is forgot. Divide and conquer, the oldest play, Pitting lives in a class war fray. Narcissists spin their charm and lies, While sociopaths wear their cruel disguise. Psychopaths rule from gilded thrones, Turning freedom into fields they own. Ignorance fuels the abuser’s crusade, Enabling power, ensuring they’re obeyed. Narcissists charm, Machiavellians plot, While silence ensures justice is forgot. You call it peace, but it’s just retreat, When the powerful trample the weak. Stand in the shadow, or stand aside, Indifference is where abusers hide. Ignorance fuels the abuser’s crusade, Enabling power, ensuring they’re obeyed. Narcissists charm, Machiavellians plot, While silence ensures justice is forgot. You call it peace, but it’s just retreat, When the powerful trample the weak. Stand in the shadow, or stand aside, Indifference is where abusers hide. Ignorance fuels the abuser’s crusade, Enabling power, ensuring they’re obeyed. Narcissists charm, Machiavellians plot, While silence ensures justice is forgot. Silence ensures justice is forgot.
