In UK politics, if you wait long enough the same scandals and corrupt practices come 'round again. So, what's next? MPs expenses (again)? Crony government contracts (Covid)?

Legislators for Hire
Tory MP allowed a company that paid him £60,000 a year to effectively write his parliamentary questions.
What can poor do to get MP attention?
Political corruption destroys nations.
End corruption: criminalize political donations, spurious consultancies.

The growing hole is not in the nations finances, the UK is not like a household with a finite budget, it's a fiat economy.
The growing hole is what Starmer and Reeves are digging themselves (and us) into.

Reeves expected to freeze income tax thresholds to raise funds after welfare U-turn. Why blame the poor?
Govt has numerous choices:
Tax capital gains, dividends at the same rate as wages
Reduce pension tax relief to the ultra rich
Increase NIC for ultra-rich.

FTT
Cut corporate welfare

PIP doesn’t cover the real cost of being disabled.
Carer’s Allowance doesn’t value the work of caring.
Universal Credit doesn’t meet basic needs.
This is abandonment by design.

Being disabled in the UK costs over £1,000 extra per month. PIP covers a tiny fraction. The rest? Debt. Poverty. Suffering. #PIP #DisabilityBenefits #DisabilityJustice Justice means saying no to these cuts.

Masked and unmarked ICE agents (real or fake) are causing fear and chaos in our communities. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from hiding their identities during public operations. Urge your local leaders to act. 👇

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

How long for Starmer?
The front page of The Times this morning notes Labour MPs calling for 'regime change'.
Let me caveat that. First, this is The Times. They are no lovers of Labour.
Second, this is what I am hearing...
