Russia's spending has risen a lot, but can't continue rising indefinitely. As a person who feels that money can always be found for war, but never for things that matter ( climate change, education, social justice etc, I'm suspicious.

You make sense here, but the problem is that the wealthiest 5% or so are accumulating wealth in a way that accelerates inequality by gobbling up most of the assets, driving the housing crisis and climate change. It therefore isn't just about funding public services.

In any case, as Gary's economics has explained, they own assets here, which can be taxed. You can't take land and property elsewhere, only sell it. Not all rich people want to go and live in places that are cut off from civilization anyway and if you want a civilised society it costs money.

Also, fun fact - trans women and indeed men can breastfeed. It's more difficult but possible. There's a tribe where men use their nipples to comfort their babies.

The judges had to interpret the law as set down by parliament. But it must be remembered this is not an abstract debate; it concerns real people, says barrister Sam Fowles
