The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Let's call a spade a spade.
A "flying electric taxi" is essentially a private jet.
The last thing we need more of - electric or not.
Flying is hugely energy intensive.
Let's get East West Rail built and trains running asap instead.

Flying electric taxis will be travelling between Oxford and Cambridge next year. A six-month pilot project (geddit) aims to prepare the infrastructure and develop a business case as a first step towards “commercially viable regional operations”.
