Joseph Stiglitz suggests Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer have got in wrong

"To promote growth, the UK can raise taxes on capital gains"

"If you raise taxes on the wealthy and expand government spending, that will stimulate the economy"

The human face of all those bullshit, blue tick Twitter accounts full of racism, lies, cowardice & cruelty…
Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene literally telling a British reporter to "go back to your country" and berating her for trying to ask a question.

"We don't give a CRAP about your opinion."

The UK and our NATO allies will never forget the sacrifice of 43 Danish soldiers in Afghanistan after 9/11.

But it appears JD Vance has.

There were 4 council by-elections yesterday Reform UK won 0.

0 out of 6 this week. That’s 224 council by-elections since the General Election, still just 12 seats won for Reform UK.

Seems they can’t win by-elections.

No DLA or PIP or Attendance Allowance, then no Carer’s Allowance.

The government have not thought this through.

The denied claimant will still have the same care needs and expenses as before, but their carer will also lose entitlement to their meagre benefit too.

Do they even realise that removing entitlement to PIP also removes a carer’s entitlement to Carers Allowance?

Pushing people off PIP because they’ve changed the rules will not also remove their care needs.

The arbitrary “4 point” rule is a fag packet policy and a dangerous one at that.

PIP is not an "out of work benefit". A lot of what people use PIP for is to actually help them work. Making it harder to access will mean fewer people get genuine, rather than political soundbites, support. It is going to devastate lives. This is a cruel and pointless policy which only causes harm.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

Donald Trump has said with no sarcasm that Denmark who have owned Greenland for 800 years have no claim to it.

This is from a country that is only 249 years old and built on the bodies of the people they Genocided to take it from.
