Great idea
Idly wondering if the solution to racists 'wanting their country back' is for all countries to build theme parks where the bigots have to go and live, where technology is reversed 50 years and they have it all as they think they remember. Then tourists can come and pay to look at them.

Good

The two-child limit in universal credit is being lifted

Increasing the tax rates on dividends, property and savings

Salary-sacrificed pension contributions .. will no longer be exempt from NI

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Absolutely agree with this
Contrary to the headlines every attempt to subsidise house buyers simply puts up the price and rewards existing owners. Cutting ISA allowance will have zero impact on interest rates. Time to borrow and build or repair council homes in our crumbling inner cities.

Nailed it.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Seems to me that ICE only exists as a proto-form of Nazi-style Gestapo operating outside normal law enforcement and answerable only to the authoritarian ideological control of Trumpstein and acolytes.
ICE should be abolished for the simple fact that being undocumented is a civil matter, not a criminal one. And if someone does break the law criminally, that's what we have regular police for. We don't need Patriot Act level gestapo on our streets, we never have.

And Greg Bovino, who works for

Reform UK has presented their latest plan for the UK - and I’m afraid the crayons were working overtime.

£25bn of imaginary savings, treaty breaches, punishment rhetoric and a health calculation method that made me roll my eyes so hard I nearly lost consciousness.

So, nothing new, really.
Reform UK Unveils Budget Written Entirely in Crayon
£25bn of imagined savings, real-world cruelty and mathematics that should come with a trigger warning.
