Mocktails are great but now expensive. If home nothing can beat a chai.

"Simply put, Israel exists as it does today because of the repeated choices made by societies to reject their Jews. Had these societies made different choices, Jews would still live in them, and Israel likely would not exist—certainly not in its present form."

Sorry I am tweeting after a long set of on calls. I of course know tax is levied on goods/services rather than financial transactions - was just trying to say it’s pointless to talk about other things we levy taxes on right now. May I ask why you think private education shouldn’t be taxed?

For what it’s worth I’d want to overhaul the whole VAT regimen but you don’t know my personal political views because you made a judgement based on a post.

But we’re talking about VAT which is a tax on financial transactions. My starting point is that if we are going to impose VAT on the clothes that I wear then a luxury good like private education (which pricing has markedly outstripped inflation) should be taxed too.

This is particularly given that private education is a high end/luxury good. Unlike books or food.

Taxing posts on Bluesky is of course nonsense as there is no financial transaction of a good/service. Fair enough it’s not a “subsidy” in the conventional sense. You haven’t answered my point: if a company needs a special carve out to exist it’s not a good company.

Sorry if a business needs a special tax break to exist, it’s not a very good business.

If a business needs a subsidy to exist it’s not an effective business. I find it very odd that those on the political right find it hard to acknowledge this when it comes to private schools.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social’s common sense democrat manifesto is one that they should endorse. However trying to team up with an oncredibly unpopular figure, who clearly has far right sympathies and wants to destroy the democratic party suggests a lack of common sense by him

The Economist trolling Truss with the comparisons to a lettuce and the FT goading Trump with TACO. Neoliberal fight back is on 🌐👊🏻

I will say there are about 150,000 job vacancies within the social care system. I am sure if Mr Baker would like he could apply for a job and also help support the public he wants to serve.
