Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Here's a chart of the marginal tax rate for someone with two kids. They pay 53% tax on every £ they earn between £60k and £80k. 62% on every £ they earn between £100k and £125k.

9% more if they've a student loan

The EHRC's ‘interim guidance’ is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.

We’re in the High Court tomorrow to challenge it.

These Halloween masks available from Tesco are far too horrific. I can't believe they'd let kids buy these things.

Chalk up another convert to Tidal.

Reminder to subscribe on the web NOT via your phone or it'll cost more due to Apple's/Google's cut.
Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.

You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.

"Prime Minister who abandoned his voting base and pandered to a group who'd never have voted for him anyway has another brilliant idea.."
Starmer has bowed to the pressure from centrist think-tanks and the constant drumbeat on migration from Reform UK.

But digital ID will not stop irregular migration to the UK. And could be Starmer's most costly blunder yet.
https://goodlaw.social/sa9h
Starmer’s desperate rush for digital IDs is a recipe for repression
ID cards won’t reduce migration and will put trans rights at risk. But that’s not the biggest cost of Starmer’s half-baked scheme, says Cat MacLean.

One one hand I'm sort of sad I don't have any right wing flag shaggers in my social circle so I can talk to them and try to change their views, but I'm also very happy & proud I don't have any right wing flag shaggers in my social circle.

Criminal who called for people to be burned alive in a hotel given a standing ovation. Why does this not anger more people?
The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.
