If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis.
Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews.

Having now mulled overnight, a few aspects of the Budget where the government deserves some credit:
1) Increasing fiscal headroom
2) A plan for how to tax electric cars, at last (even if imperfect)
3) A plan to gradually undo the "temporary" 5p cut in fuel duty

Some immediate Budget takes from @helenmiller.bsky.social and the IFS hive mind at the link below.
What's most striking, to me at least, is the decision to rely so much on tax rises that kick in at the back end of the parliament - just in time for the next election...

Amen, @zoegrunewald.bsky.social! Just like with planning law, which we have discussed before, the rights of those who do not *already own property* never, ever feature.
Some sympathy for this potentially made up woman but I wonder how the poster feels about the numerous people who would love to be able to call a house their own and form relationships with their neighbours but can't because of the housing market. Does their emotional plea count for anything?
Mumsnet is already on the case.

Looking after my one year old nephew. He took a nasty trip running around & started screaming. His ankle looked dislocated so I called an ambulance & held his leg still trying to keep him calm. Paramedics had to stop themselves laughing when they told me it was his sock twisted

That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.

My best guess regarding the Ukraine/Russia negotiations is that both sides fully realize there is simply no overlap in the Venn Diagram of what each could accept in terms of conditions and assurances.
None.
However neither can afford to alienate the US by not engaging in the pantomime of looking.

Maybe there’s an obvious reason for this but why do a lot of the tax increases/new taxes/reduction in allowances kick from April 2028 or some even in 2029. Why not implement them sooner and get some money rolling in with which to make improvements? 🤷♀️
