I can see the ordinary people getting hit by this budget, that's pretty clear, not quite seeing where the wealthy people are taking on any of the burden though? 🤔

One of the biggest reasons for the rise of the lunatic parties is that we've decided that no reasonably normal, sane person with the level of minor carelessness and miscreance that any normal sane person has can run for parliament *unless they stand for one of the lunatic parties*
I tend to think a good rule of thumb is "Would this be a major issue in a regulated profession?" and, I guess unless you were explicitly a tax professional, it wouldn't be.
I am hardly a natural Rayner cheerleader, but genuinely furious that she's gone. Laurie Magnus's verdict confirms she acted on advice, she just missed the disclaimer saying she should get extra advice. Not just an honest mistake - a mistake literally anyone could make. There but for the grace etc...

The thing about this genocide that makes it even more unbearable is the language the IDF uses while murdering civilians, as if it's a fast food chain that got someone's order wrong. The same perfunctory ambivalence.

`:heading` is going to be great for reset stylesheets. Set all of them to 1rem to better teach the difference between visual and structural hierarchy.
Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

A person says "refugees are people too, actually" and broadcasters fall over themselves to 'balance' the debate.
Finding that eager desire for balance a little lacking in a painfully obvious way these last few days.

I think UK people do not think enough about how they would feel if the British military and government decided a part of England needed to be caged in, bombed, and then civilians shot at while they desperately sought food.

I get white conservatives have a problem when a black queer person raps about their oppression. However the Irish talking about segregation- you’re not going to be able to push that down without being specifically factional. You utter ghouls

There is a world where I don't have to watch a nation get angry over the bombing out civilian areas while they bomb civilian areas, and I'm much less tired in it.

The announced changes to disability benefits will lead to very substantial falls in income for some families.
While some families will gain a small amount from the changes, others will lose thousands of pounds a year.
