For the guardian, this headline is bollox. They added a mansion tax, but froze the tax threshold again, pushing more low-income households into paying tax and increasing hardship. Plus, they keep the housing benefit frozen, forcing more homelessness and poverty.

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed

🚨 BREAKING: Chancellor continues freeze on housing benefit – missing a crucial opportunity to prevent homelessness.

As rents continue to rise, this will directly lead to homelessness for many of us. #Budget2025

The removal of the two-child benefit cap is welcome.

But the continued freeze on housing benefit means thousands of low income households will be unable to afford their rents and be pushed into homelessness.

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

It may or may not be a large amount but it is by definition a small proportion. Strange that people who obviously think about money all day long can't grasp this.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye

Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it.

Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?
