In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...
Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens
That's why there is no money

Nigel Farage got £750,000 from Coutts as compensation for nothing.
Even worse Coutts is owned by NatWest which is 39% owned by you.
So YOU paid Nigel Farage £292,750, for whining because he didn't have enough money for an account.
RT if he needs to repay every penny.

All the fuss about Starmer’s ‘island of strangers’ comment- I wonder if we’ll hear anything at all about Robert Jenrick on R4 saying ‘we need breathing space’? I heard that and immediately heard ‘lebensraum’. Chilling - and completely unchallenged.

What annoys me so much about Andrea Jenkyns is SHE WAS A TORY MP! SHE GOT HER DAMEHOOD FROM BORIS!!! And she acts like she is an insurgent force who has nothing to do with the problems she now says Reform will solve!!!!

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

So, it’s goodbye to #MakersMark, goodbye #WoodfordReserve, goodbye #BuffaloTrace. No more Old Fashioneds. Perhaps the only US products I’ll miss. Certainly not their shitty food or cars.

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
The results were...interesting...

There's so much that's wonderful in this speech from Claude Manhuret in the French senate – thoughtful, noble, articlulate and wise – but this is still my favourite bit. I'm sorry.

Oh. Can't seem to find The Telegraph's coverage of this. Or The Mail's.
No exodus to state sector after VAT added to private school fees, say English councils
Most say they have seen no impact on applications for year 7 places, despite warnings from those against policy

Surprise surprise.
The campaign to keep private school fees exempt from VAT included encouraging parents to lie about their intention to move children to the state sector. Hardly surprising that almost none have done that bit.ly/41D35L9 some predictions were that 90,000 would be moved

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”.
The man is a fraud.
