The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

Realize there might be other things on sale today...but I'd really appreciate it if you considered buying a physical print of your favorite piece of painfully detailed pixel art instead 😅🙏

That will show Jeff Bezos and the rest!

As my painting skills are so comically diabolical, I bought myself a 'lucky dip' of practice figures.

No idea how much of a horrible mess I can make of these, but there's only one way to find out :)

If I was implementing changes to immigration and asylum systems guaranteed to increase Home Office costs, as well as financial burdens on individuals, businesses, higher ed etc, decreasing spending in communities and risking increased costs for everyone, I'd simply not boast about it in my budget.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Tax breaks for UK company cars cost the exchequer £3.27 billion a year

Motability costs £1 billion

Both are valuable to the folk who get them, and yet we save our pitchforks and torches for disabled people
