The Chancellor should protect workers’ pay packets and level the playing field on how different forms of income are taxed.

As things stand, wages (and some dividends) are taxed more heavily than many other sources of income.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

🛑 David and Aaron discuss:
How the entire #MAGA movement wants to use #CharlieKirk’s killing to punish the left regardless of what his killer’s motives might have been.
Why this dangerous moment has ramped up the threats to #freespeech making independent media more important than ever.

Very good indeed from @bengoldsborough.bsky.social (and a number of other MPs who participated in this debate).

There is no case - economic, political, or moral - for extending the time it takes long-standing residents to gain settlement/citizenship.

🗣️ Immigration debates matter because they shape the kind of country we want to be.

In my speech on petitions for BNO Indefinite Leave to Remain and ILR for Skilled Workers, I made this clear: managed migration strengthens us – economically, culturally, and diplomatically.

Once again, Trump ‘jokes’ about staying on in office beyond 2028 and canceling the next elections.

But it’s just a joke, right? He’s just trolling us? Ok.

Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

This article, which is great, reminded me of a quote from Red Dwarf that had a big impact on teenage me:

RIMMER: It's just that I'm ill at ease with the opposite sex.

LISTER: It's because you see them as some alien species that needs to be conquered with trickery. They're not - they're people.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
