Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."
Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?
When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

The other kids had better toys than I did so now I'm proud to work for a company that steals their work and destroys their livelihood, and makes sure that kids like me can never, ever, ever actually make a living from music! Yay!!!
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

Goodwin's palpable disgust for black and brown people is, of course, a colonial inheritance. But the "national" prosperity that made Britain's welfare state possible is in no small part a colonial inheritance too, plundered from places like Africa and south Asia. He might show a little gratitude.

You could make practically every bus route in England free for the cost of extending the fuel duty cut.
Reeves says petrol is still expensive.
So the 5p cut in fuel duty will be extended until 2026, she says.
Great. So polluters get to continue to poison us. Yet EV drivers get penalised with pay per mile.

Climate change. What’s that?

This is, by my count, about the third time we've had a big media splash that he was a little Nazi cunt at Dulwich College. As they did before they'll just ride it out again and he'll be back on question time within a fortnight
This is the thing to hang onto - I’m glad people are appalled by Farage’s Nazi sympathies now, but the fact is, he was able to present TV programmes and constantly appear as a sofa guest for decades, booked by people who knew it all. We must reckon with that.
Evidence of Farage’s unabashed youthful racism has been in the public domain since at least 2013, yet somehow he has been allowed to remain part of the British political conversation. The fact he wasn’t driven back under a rock years ago has emboldened racists across the country to spread hatred.

There are exactly two types of extremely rich guys:

2. Liars who pretend they're the above, but will grudgingly stay & accept a minor tax rise

@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye
Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

If this is true now, why was it not past year when Labour suspended MPs for wanting to end it?
Kevin Maguire on scrapping the 2 child benefit cap: "It is better for the country.. they'll do better at school & they'll become more productive adults in later years"
Kevin is right, child poverty impacts on economic chances in later life (it also affects health outcomes too)

The issue is not, of course, whether Farage is racist. The evidence there is plain to see. The issue is that we have a press and national broadcaster who will not call a spade a spade and seek to indulge Farage whenever they are able.
