When British economist @garyseconomics.bsky.social speaks for #wealthTax, elites dismiss him for his working-class accent. A linguist revoiced him upper-class—same words, new sound. Suddenly “reasonable.” In the US, swap accents for race or region: bias doesn’t change truth, only perception.

Looks like a swathe of Labour figures have been sent out to claim that the freeze on rail ticket prices will save travellers hundreds of pounds a year.
But if something costs £10 today and will cost £10 tomorrow, your actual saving is £0.
