This is Milo. He is a late cat. He was properly scared of fireworks, but he could be comforted by a cuddle.
Don’t be silly. If there’s one thing you already know about all politicians in power, it is that they’re very polite to their predecessors and they take absolutely no notice at all of whatever they’re blathering on about. A bit like journalists when a former editor comes into the office for a chat?

Yes, but it’s a very big list and Reform voters are notoriously bad at reading. And immigration has four syllables which just wrecks them completely.

I asked an expat in their 40s if Dubai felt like the future, as so many of the AI-written LinkedIn profiles claim.
“Fuck, no. It feels like the past, due to the regressive attitudes, the anachronistic theocratic monarchs, the abundant racism, the homophobia, and the sexism.”

Triple-8 borrowed a couple of billion to buy William Hill and it’s 1400 betting shops. It thought it would generate enough profit to pay it back, but it didn’t. (Or maybe it didn’t care as long as it could take out a couple of billion in dividends?)

If we’re being honest, then - yeah - it is. No-one else has anything like the amount of skin in the game that the Conservatives and Reform do. They’re just businesses that derive their income from running down anything that might be of value to the bottom (financial) quartile of society.

This suits Farage and the Conservatives as they can then say that the NHS is failing and push for more privatisation - which suits their donors, who then donate more money to the Conservatives and Reform, providing funding for more racism and hatred.

Because they think that gives Reform a better chance of winning the next election, presumably.

Seems reasonable - they soaked the country for 14 years under the conservatives.

The solution is the raising of taxes itself. You can’t fix 14 years of economic abuse and neglect overnight.

Presumably the FT would like to be “low tax, low welfare”? Like privatising the NHS (a stealth tax on the poor if ever there was one), for example?
