Freezing income tax thresholds is not taxing the wealthy. Putting a percent or 2 on the top income tax brackets and moving the thresholds would be far more progressive rather than bringing low earners into the bottom income tax threshold.
(Mansion tax is good, though, I’ll give them that.)

Sounds like a very useful course. I’m sure you learned a lot.

I think it’s because the books went into his character more and the obsession comes from that. But I haven’t read the books so that’s second hand information at best.

It has left me stumped since he did it. My only guess would be that he genuinely thought it would prove users *weren’t* bots and did the opposite but how would he be under that impression when he has access to all the data? Bewildering.

Does he also think you can’t drive sex work underground because the punters won’t be able to find the sex workers if they’re locked up in cellars?
Same energy, honestly.

Also Sarwar saying Labour won’t get a majority is hardly a revelation. Only one party has ever done that and only once. The electoral system is designed to prevent it. Even in June 2024 there is no way Labour had the backing for a majority.

It’s very strange watching so many people enthuse over something that… doesn’t work. At least not for what they insist on using it to do. Maybe one day it will but right now it doesn’t.

They gave For Women Scotland campaign of the year and Kate Forbes Green champion. I think it’s clear whoever was assigning these awards was either inebriated or engaging in some kind of devilment.

So she started with a £20b black hole and after a year as Chancellor it is a £40b black hole? That doesn’t bode well.

I dunno, if Trump made a come back I guess anything’s possible. I don’t find it likely, though. Farage is never giving up the Reform leadership for him.
