Gullis has joined the Farage party. Now I know why they’re called Reform. It’s a party reformed with all the former Tory rejects, has-beens, and old bits of offal; the party’s the culinary equivalent of a doner kebab. Looks appealing 6 🥴pints later, but the next morning, a deeply regrettable idea🤢.

‘We need to speak collectively’: can parliament solve the problem of ‘deprivation bingo’ in the UK’s seaside towns?
Labour knows it needs to win over the ‘sea wall’ cohort of coastal voters in the next election. But as anger over inequality grows, time is running out

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.
That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.
Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.
All because UK govts oppose public ownership
