With Haigh's departure from the cabinet, for the first time in our political history, the cabinet is 100% state educated. Quite the moment.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

In 1979 around 15% of MPs had a manual worker background. That dropped to 3% by 2015. At the same time previous work in politics went from 3% to 17% over the same period. We know this has consequences for political rhetoric. 1/

BREAKING: Former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has died, aged 86.
His family say he passed away to the sound of jazz music at his care home, where he'd been living with Alzheimers in recent years.
A towering Labour figure - Blair couldn't have governed without him.

Meet for key discussions with world leaders, or hang around to hear Jeremy Clarkson outside your house abusing you through a megaphone. A real dilemma

Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax.
While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax.
The ultimate elitist BS.
