"There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."
This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the £10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs 🤷🏻♀️

Britain has a secrecy problem.
In 2024, the govt answered just 29% of Freedom of Information requests - the lowest rate since FOI began.
Secrecy fuels corruption, bad governance, scandals covered-up to protect elites. Ministers don't answer questions in parliament.

I'm not sure a squeezed middle isn't an almost inevitable consequence of demographics. There are 13 million pensioners in the UK. Compared to 25 million full time workers. Do the maths, it won't be pretty however you cut it.
