Still trying to work out what kind of brain haemorrhage would induce me to tax electric vehicles based on distance travelled.
Does Rachel Reeves understand the point of cars? Or the point of taxing stuff? Who knows.

Rachel Reeves shouts beligerently like someone had to teach her how to. Kemi Badenoch, on the other hand, shouts beligerentely like it's her preferred mode of discourse: which makes her more honest than Rachel. Even though she's a Tory and I despise Tories.
That's it. That's my budget commentary.

Just curious, but does anyone believe this is even vaguely true? I don't.

Europe needs to stand on its own. It's clear that the USA and the aging shit-gibbon leading it have chosen to become the proxy for Russian imperial aspirations. We need to tell them both to GTF. #SlavaUkraini

In another astounding ruling, the Israeli supreme court orders the eviction of Beduin Palestinian Ras Jaraba village to make way for the expansion of the city of Dimona. 500 residents, whose ancestors have lived on the land since Ottoman time, will be expelled to establish a Jewish neighbourhood.

If Rachel Reeves needs to raise some money and take a bite out of the Greens, she "could" introduce a Horse Power tax. Any car above 200bhp - £10 per extra bhp : above 300 - £100 per extra bhp. Super Green, super re-distributive. Includes EV's. If you can afford the car.. you can afford the tax.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.
It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Starmer just said that the £250 billion "investment" he claims he's achieved from the US will create 15,000 jobs. That's £16.6666667 million per job. Seems a bit pricey to me (although I've never sold my soul to the Devil so what do I know).

There were more cramps. So far it appears to be amazingly square (I whacked it with a mallet just to make it absolutely* clear there were to be no shenanigans). I'm not using blocks because they're just scaffold access steps.
