Everyone, Kier? Really? I don't remember the budget mentioning those with extreme wealth. You remember them? The ones that can actually afford to be taxed more? The ones lining MPs pockets? You remember them?
Starmer says Budget ‘asked everybody to contribute’ to protect public services

I'm gonna miss #Rogue. They did things right and were a proper community focused brewery with a global outlook too.
And any brewer with a bar on the literal Goon Docks is good by me.
I wrote this piece on Dead Guy Ale 8 years ago.

Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

ME: What time's it?

ME: Why would you do that?
M: Well, I thought you'd like to know.
ME: No, why would you vomit on my laptop?
M: You complain if I do it in hidden places. Wanted to make sure you found this one.

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.

Per mile EV tax is ridiculous. It can't be easily implemented, undermines other policies, is sold as a "fairness exercise" but it's actually just a cash grab, and ignores many ways to manage the transport debate yet still encourage EV adoption!

#Boro 's season in a nutshell Held our own against the best side in the league, but our very obvious problems let us down. Hellberg must be happy. We're very close to a cracking side, but lots for him to work on.
Currently we're doing OK despite some of our players, not because of them.

It's been a good while since I've had the opportunity to watch an entire day's test cricket from first ball to last.
Really couldn't have picked a better day to do it again.
This will almost certainly be the only chance I get in this series. 🤣

Ah, the joys of host nation cricket commentary.
"I think England looked soft. They didn't look like they were even trying.
At least we (Aus) look like we're trying."
Note: it took them 5 overs to score a run and they're currently 4/41

What happened between 2013 and 2023 to cause such horrific levels of poverty 🤔
🚨 NEW: The UK saw the largest increase in relative child income poverty of 37 high-income countries between 2013 and 2023, an increase of 34%, new research from UNICEF UK shows.
If the two-child limit stays in place, child poverty will continue to rise. Is this really a record we want?
