Yep - this the way of the Right - preservation of self. Society can take care of itself (unless they’re our workers in which case we just need to keep them ticking along).

Knowing they had next to no chance of winning the GE, the Tories went on a spending spree to leave Labour with tax bombs to deal with. The worst thing is it took Labour 18 months to face this. They should have blamed the Tories week one and swallowed the pill then. Now they own it!

Private equity wrecked UK high street, says Iceland Foods boss

PE model - low wages, cut staff/investment, high debt, profiteering, tax abuse.

PE devoured Debenhams, Maplin, Byron Burger, Cath Kidson, Comet, Flybe, Poundworld, Toys R Us.

Controls care homes, vets, supermarkets.

Farage/Reform and the Trump playbook.

Mass sackings of unsympathetic civil servants
Promise to reduce workers's rights
Inflict spending cuts - hit the poor, old, sick, disabled

Now claims teachers are “poisoning our kids” - just as Nazis did to control education.

Power grab by dividing society.

80% of men in the US are circumcised. 8% in the UK. Yet verified autism per capita is about the same. Go figure (but lads - on that note, leave it there, don’t cut it off please - evolution had its reasons!)

“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier”

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Trump won't be here next year anyway. His massive posthumous monument carved on the edge of a mountain in the Rocky's probably will be, so maybe they can slap one on that?

£12 billion when you factor in stamp duty.

Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

When any party says they are going to abolish a specific tax (eg Tory’s and Stamp Duty) - ask yourself what additional tax are they introducing (or existing increasing) to replace it with?

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?
