Anyway the basic gist is that this government have decided businesses, universities and immigrants should pay the taxes that the median voter doesn’t want to pay. I’m sure that will have no worrying incidence effects or counteract ‘the singleminded focus on growth’.

This government has done little or nothing to act on the unlawful protection of this racist slur online. Senior ministers are arguing that changing settlement timelines will reduce the use of racist slurs, but failing to actually act on racial slurs

Have we entered a racism timewarp?
Why does X routinely defend the racist abuse that it has a legal duty to remove?
A binary choice: must we tolerate the use of "paki" as a racist slur in the Britain of 2025 - or will government act to Make Twitter Lawful Again?
