A reminder that 75% of people support a wealth tax.

To the ‘patriots’ saying they’ll leave the country in a strop:

Paying a wealth tax on assets above £10m is not a hardship. You'll still have a fancy house, fancy car and a fancy life.

Patriotic Millionaires know. @patmillsuk.bsky.social

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

Trump is illegally bombing boats w/zero evidence in foreign waters.

He just bombed Iran after tearing up a peace deal Iran was complying with.

He’s down w/ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

He’s deploying armed troops into US cities & lying abt why.

He doesn’t care about “peace.”
He cares about a prize.

So if Trump brings peace to the Middle East, all you’re thinking is that he did it to win the Nobel Peace Prize? You don’t know that. Maybe it means more to him that he accomplished peace and that it’s part of his legacy, and the Nobel is secondary. But it’s amazing how you nullify the historic

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly:

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Among the worse interviews I've seen a politician give. There is no way Badenoch can (or should) survive until May.

- On what basis?
- Do you admire him?
- I don't understand your question.
- What do you think of him?
