A mansion tax isn't how you hit the wealthy - who have a small proportion of their wealth tied up in housing. A mansion tax is how you hit the middle classes - whose only valuable asset is their house.
More cowardice from Labour: afraid to go where the real money is, to go after the super rich.

Fromage is a fraud. He attended Dulwich College, a posh fee-paying school - and I should know, as I went there for a couple of yrs myself - and then worked as a metals trader at the stock exchange. He is not a working class grafter, any more than I am.

Climate change is here. Already causing chaos. Yet oil companies continue to collect the rent and buy politicians. Pro-oil politicians are well funded, winning elections and working to devastate nature. We must challenge them!

And we can expect to see more of this as countries fail to prepare
If the Great Iberian Outage was down to extreme weather (as long predicted) then the culprit is not Net Zero, but quite the opposite: failure to invest in grid resilience, connectivity and redundancy to cope with our changing climate. Renewable generation & grid buffering actually help considerably

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky.
Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky.
That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.
