New analysis by the House of Commons Library, commissioned by the Lib Dems, found that, “The UK is losing £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit”.
That’s just over £1.7 billion a week, “a black hole of £90 billion a year in the public finances.”

This law has sofar not been used in Denmark and is not likely ever to be. That is unless someone lands with a truckload of bling and proceeds to claim generous benefits. Makes sense, really. Think about it.

After six years, my time as Board director at the #ElectoralReformSociety is coming to an end. Voting is now open for my replacement. I am voting for #PabloJohn, #SarahLewis, #SandyMartin, #ShaunRoberts. All have proved to be formidable operators on and off the #ERS Board and we need them there!

So, if I'm reading all this correctly, backbenchers and their electorates want a Nordic style welfare system. Understandable. And achievable with Nordic style taxes at 52%. Simples

Enlightened self interest? Double jeopardy? That's the real iceberg of this mega-money megaphone.
Commentators are damned of they do, damned if they don't.
Go figure. And focus.

First twitter/X free for me since 2012.
Deactivating my X account = best decision I've made since giving up smoking in 2010. I'd forgotten how many hours there actually are in a day!
What took me so long?
Wake up and smell the coffee everyone!

Haven't watched Strictly in years. But this year I did. Why? Because a blind man entering a dance competiton peaked my skepsis barometer. How wrong I was and I'm humbled. Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell lifting that glitter ball must rank as *the* inspirational moment of 2024

Judging by my four year old granddaughter's pearls of wisdom, liberally dispensed on an hourly basis, your daughter should do a fantastic job. In fact, put them both on Starmer's front bench and let's get some sanity into the proceedings.
