6. So the overall story is that high skilled/high paid workers are strongly fiscally positive, while medium/lower paid workers are (very broadly) fiscally neutral in the long run (although positive in the short run). This is no great surprise to those of us who've looked at the data..

Even as a Tory I must admit Reform MPs are devoted to serving their constituencies. For example Lee Anderson selling his ‘funny’ 30p football shirts in Ashdown & Nigel Farage’s outstanding work in Clacton.
Oh & here is Richard Tice working hard in his constituency of Skegness.

2.Angela Rayner was hounded out of office for one offence by a united media effort, led by the BBC. Yet multiple allegations against Reform and Farage are quickly forgotten.

If just one of the mounting allegations against Farage and Reform had been levelled at a Labour politician, we would never hear the end of it from our media. Instead, virtual silence. 1/2

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

It’s funny how the Daily Mail don’t seem at all interested in anti-semitism in Reform. They were greatly exercised about the issue in Labour. Day after day of it. Now? Zilch. Wonder why?

You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not.

Radio 6 is a tribute to all that is best at the BBC. It is inform, educate and entertain in musical form: Utter loveliness. And then they periodically allow the news department to mutilate it with these context-free anti-asylum bulletins, reminding you of all that's worst about the BBC.
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper
