Smaller retailers shouldn’t shoulder the cost of age-verification tech — but the tobacco giants making £900m a year with 50% profit margins certainly should. The merchants of death must pay for the harm they cause.

The public nature of these enemies lists also encourages harassment. Some federal employees were fired, some resigned, but even those who stayed faced a stream of threats. One left the country.

Pro-Trump group wages campaign to purge “subversive” federal workers
Some have been fired. Two have moved abroad, fearing for their safety. Yet free-speech experts say the group's websites remain just outside the boundaries of violating personal privacy.

Spot on. The terms of the plan 2 loan are utterly usurious. Notably the budget has not frozen just the threshold for repayments at a marginal rate of 9%, dragging more and more graduates into it, but it also freezes the interest of those loans which is as much as 6.2%! Which is ridiculous!!
I'm constantly shocked (but not surprised) by how little we discuss the additional financial burden placed on young people by the Clegg-Cameron student loan regime.

I’m guessing these people had nothing to say about the bedroom tax when that caused people to need to leave homes they’d been in for years or have to pay to stay.

Doing nothing to help those on the lowest incomes is criminal
3 year tax freeze is a year longer than had been anticipated - a year beyond the current fiscal rule. But helps Chancellor not to have to come back again. In 29-30 will mean typical pensioners pay an extra £100 and basic rate taxpayers £140.
