Raise taxes, repair the country. Inspired by joy, sobriety, Marcel Duchamp, Kelis, Mata Hari, and those hallucinations I used to have.

Also, so 51% of your marginal income goes to pay for a load of services you use and benefit from, and 49% of your income goes into your bank account
Dunno mate, if you're earning that much I feel like you're probably enjoying life a lot more for getting up in the morning than someone who isn't paying that rate of tax.

Ailbhe compares to Boris multiple times in the piece but one way in which the comparison stacks up is that Conservative MPs basically always had their doubts about him as a leader but backed him cos they thought he could win. As soon as he was no longer winning the knives came out

Objectivity, impartiality and balance are all *different things*, and the lazy tendency to treat them as synonyms, and to use partisan balance alone as a proxy for the others, is the root cause of a vast amount of nonsense.
Robbie Gibb once suggested that reporters should reflect if they were getting more retweets from one side than the other - a braindead analysis that ignores that fair and impartial reporting of education might get more Tory retweets than say, criminal justice.
Stephen really does have the best take on this. It’s not clear that the BBC Board or indeed the rest of the News team really understood the message of the previous reviews, which were about getting detail right. Instead they wanted to know what was ‘biased’ or not like they were blotting out stains.

As Stephen says, this is an incredible line. The previous government cut National Insurance by 4p and had future spending plans that the independent forecaster basically called fictional!
They seem to have expected reality to be more respectful of their manifesto.

“Nobody thought a Labour government would have to raise taxes by more than £70bn,” claims one insider in this excellent piece. Shows the problem of the climate of fear in meetings created by some of Starmer’s aides, in that plenty of Labour insiders, did, in fact, think this!
