Regressive National Insurance (NI).

UK employees pay 8% NI on incomes between £12,570 & £50,270.

2% above that.

Rich pay a lower proportion of income in NI.

Govt can charge higher rates in incomes above £100k, £150k, etc. Collect £bns.

No need for austerity. Tax the rich.
Here’s how Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement must offer hope

Starmer really has to take this opportunity. The country is ready, the EU is ready, Farage and the Brexiters are looking up each others arses. Don't go down in history as the man who failed to take the obvious step.

It was heartbreaking to see President Zelenskyy mocked and scolded in the Oval Office - a new low for the White House. This isn’t strength; it’s bullying. True leadership means standing with allies, not humiliating them. America should support Ukraine, not undermine it. ❤️🇺🇦🇪🇺 #StandWithUkraine

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

REMINDER: The previous government estimated that a UK US Free Trade Agreement could boost the UK economy by 0.16%.

And Frontier Economics for @bestforbritain.bsky.social analysis estimates an improved UK EU deal could boost the UK economy by 2.2%, staying outside the CU and SM.

That's the 'math'

OK, my left-of-centre friends, let us see if we can swing the vote in favour of Sadiq Khan; and really upset the Daily Express

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.

‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Happy New Year.

In 2025 the UK needs to Rejoin the EU.

I'm sure you agree.

What I find so disturbing is that Starmer isn’t repeating & reinforcing his own intelligence chief’s words (also note the timing of that speech), he’s wanging on instead about not overturning Brexit. At a moment when Europe (& ours) security couldn’t be more perilous.

All my adult life I have been proud to be an EU citizen, until Brexit and Johnson ripped it from me, against my will.
I still feel like an EU citizen do you?

The fact that we have left the EU on the basis of lies & broken promises & have made the whole of the UK poorer (apart from NI) and we aren’t even allowed to mention it. ! 😡

The engagement on BlueSky is just incredible. I go to my news feed & find posts from all the accounts I followed on X but never saw over there. And best of all no dumb arse content from Elon Musk forced on me & no bots. It’s seriously looking like the dream platform we’ve all been waiting for

Trump advisers are already telling the UK to "ditch" the EU or face trade tariffs from the US.

Let's do the opposite: dump Trump and get back into the EU.

US tariffs will only hurt the Trump government as long as Europe stands together.

Starmer warned not to take Trump bullying ‘on the chin’ as adviser issues threat
A top trade adviser for Donald Trump has demanded that the UK ditches the ‘socialist’ EU in favour of US ‘freedom’ and a trade deal or suffer the consequences with tariffs

May was told by the relevant agencies that Russian interference and money had rendered the 2016 Referendum vote “ not free and fair “ . And yet she then just “pressed on” in the words of her KC , and Notified Article 50. May’s Notification must now be formally investigated. #FBPE
