Minister defends 'pragmatic' U-turn on workers' rights.
It was a manifesto pledge
Why no 'pragmatic' U-turn' on nationalising water, energy, rail rolling stock companies and freight; ending privatisation of the NHS and social care; taxing the super rich?

Marjorie Taylor Green has been a MAGA loon for 10 years and lived a safe and secure life.
She’s been anti Trump for two weeks and has had multiple death threats, pipe bomb threats and a credible threat to kidnap and kill her son.
But, both sides…..

I'm old enough to remember when there wasn't a Green Party (or Ecology Party, or People Party)
Fixing stuff costs money.
Tax us! Tax us all to hell... :)
But tax the rich all the more!
I'm definetly on the @zackpolanski.bsky.social bandwagon.

What a night for the Scottish Co-efficient.
None of us lost.
Only one of us won.
Only one of us got a choob sent off.
And only one of us isn't in the bottom 4 of their European League thing.

Well, well, well. Didn't see that game. Didn't see that result coming. That's magic, Martin. Just magic. The Celtic Board are still complicit in utter neglect.

Whoop whoop. I am not watching the game, but getting beeps on my phone. Are we in nosebleed territory, yet?
I wish I'd put a pound on Celtic at 1-0 down.
I'd have laid it off by now of course.

Ooft. Minimum adult season ticket at Celtic is £608.
£11.8 million in tax.
That's 19,407 season ticket holders' money going straight to the taxman for making too much profit. (Not counting staff tax, of course.)
Fucking ridiculous.

Dividends are taxed at marginal rates of 8.75%, 33.75%, and 39.35%, no national insurance is levied.
Wages taxed at 20%-45% +NIC.
Aligning taxation of dividends with wages could raise £6bn a year. Even higher if national insurance is also charged.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.
