Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Labour are in a very difficult position. MSM has been very effective platforming Reform to allow them to spout their anti immigration rhetoric virtually unchallenged by statistical and factual information. Until we have serious press reform, this will continue. How to combat them effectively? Erm 🤔

With Nigel Farage and Reform UK again calling for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights here is a reminder of why joining Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR is a very very very bad idea

Maybe now we will see Starmer *do* something about it for a change?

1) Stop all government updates on Twitter X

2) Ban all foreign donations to UK political parties. All donors must be UK taxpayers.

3) Legislate that all lobbyists must publicly publish their donors (eg Taxpayers Alliance).

The uber-aggressive bizarreness continues.

This is straight-up hostility against British democracy.

Nine years today since I was an emergency admission to hospital. Turened out a tumour was destroying two vertebrae. NHS killed and removed tumour, installed metalwork so my spine would not collapse, and has monitored me ever since. #UHCW #SWFT #NHS #grateful

It makes me very sad to see you take joy from this or any violence. You are better than that. The stewardship of democracy needs us all to listen to our better angels and be nonviolent and well read active advocates. Killing CEOs won’t end in better healthcare.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
