The only one that would fear this is drug dealers and gangs. Makes you wonder.

And what's the alternative, Green?

This is the problem..Labour are so bad life long members are leaving and looking elsewhere. They don’t want to accept a threat of Tory or Reform government. They want a Labour government not this one in name only.

“Costs are not spiralling. Projected total welfare payments, at around 11 per cent of national income a year, are lower than when David Cameron was prime minister even though there are more pensioners.”

A much needed corrective by @chrisgiles.ft.com to the "welfare is out of control" narrative, drawing on research by my colleague @benbgeiger.bsky.social

Jesus Christ. I do think the man existed but not the son of God. It would be interesting to hear his views on Christianity over the ages.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.
