Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Labour's internal polling must be showing a flood of their voters going Green.

The normal thing to do (according to so-called political wisdom) would be to barely acknowledge the party exists while taking and neutering enough of their policies to peel away support.

They're absolutely freaking out.
Watch as Rachel Reeves brands Greens leader Zack Polanski a 'keen hypnotherapist'

Just heard Rachel Reeves have a pop at @zackpolanski.bsky.social thereby signifying that she is really quite alarmed by the rise in @greenparty.org.uk

And do she should be!

the arts employment landscape is vast and empty…
but the non-arts employment is absolutely barren unless you want to be a delivery driver, carer, AI trainer or work in hospitality. it’s bleak out there folks.

I don't think the government likes us. The contempt it has for people is evidenced by things like this

since when could that bastard orange wotsit just say shit and our country would bow to his will.

yes our media is bias but not in a “left leaning way” the media is inherently right wing and harmful and dangerous to vulnerable people

Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler.
