What possible justification can there be for yet again freezing income tax thresholds rather than raising the level of income tax on the rich, let alone for doing this rather than properly taxing wealth, property ownership included? It is straightforwardly wicked.

I cannot see why private jets should in any circumstances be permitted. If people consider themselves too grand to travel otherwise, we have no need of them in this country. There is no excuse for such wanton. environmentally catastrophic selfishness, none whatsoever.

Covid inquiry live updates: UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
The inquiry says an earlier lockdown could have saved 23,000 lives in the first wave in England - and lockdown could have been avoided altogether with earlier interventions.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

If you actually want to stop people seeking asylum, you must end the war, oppression, and terror that have them seek asylum. As principal sponsors of those and other horrors, up to and including genocide, all the while savagely cutting international development, you are doing the very opposite.

I cannot imagine anything easier than recognising Jeffrey Epstein was an evil person, to be avoided at all costs. Anyone who did not must have, at very best, the most appalling judgement, quite unfit for public life. Not difficult, not at all.
