You can see it on normal, non-politicos insta feeds-particularly driven by the Greens. It's hugely damaging to the leigitimacy of actual progressive tax

Tax policy on the British left is pure "anti-bedtime left". Bizarre idea that you can have a big social democratic welfare state without everyone contributing properly www.economist.com/britain/2025...

After lying about our taxes, Rachel Reeves can now save Labour
After years of political cowardice maybe we're finally ready for an honest debate about taxation

Guy Fawkes took the brilliantly original pseudonym “John Johnson” for his attempt to blow up Parliament today in 1605
We should make sure that anyone of that surname should not be allowed within a mile of the building.

Okay, I’m amused, but for goodness’ sake I’m sick of hearing about a local election in another country and would really like them to bring in a ‘mute America’ button every October/November.

New York elects a socialist mayor… therefore the whole USA is going to boot out Trump, elect a socialist president and become a left-wing progressive beacon. - I don’t quite see it.

Andrew Tate says London is too dangerous to go out at night in.
He wouldn't know much about that because since May 28th 2025 he has an arrest warrant pending for Rape and Human Trafficking.
So he hasn't been in the UK never mind London.
