A mansion tax is one of the most popular things that Labour has done - 67% in favour, 19% against.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Maybe it’s time to conclude that the people who were wrong about Brexit, Truss, Trump, a summer UK civil war and an autumn UK debt default are just wrong about everything. What are the chances?

£18m for playgrounds. It's not much but it's one of those small things that will measurably improve lives. There's nothing more depressing than a derelict playground.

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.
Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

The right wing press will not cover allegations about Farage's anti-Semitism in the way they covered Corbyn's because they were never interested in the actual racism. It was all about politics. But broadcasters have obligations under impartiality rules. They have no excuses.

The silence about Nigel Farage's anti-Semitism from so many of those who attacked Jeremy Corbyn over his connections to anti-Semites is absolutely deafening. It's almost as if they were never actually bothered about anti-Semitism, isn't it?

From Stopsley to Lewsey and all the parks in between, there are playgrounds across Luton that need this funding.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

IMO the worst thing about this government is its failure to see Trump, Farage, anti-immigration rhetoric, rising racism, and the 'gender critical' lobby as connected elements of a global war against liberalism and social democracy – and instead treating them as discrete issues to be 'managed'.
