Tides turn

Poorest fifth in England pay 4.8% of income in council tax; richest fifth 1.5%. 27% real term cut in council funding since 2010, govt hand tax cuts to corporations/rich. Poor hit with regressive taxes VAT Fuel duty Wages taxed at higher rates than dividends, capital gains. Need tax justice.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

There are many revealing gems in Simon Hart's memoirs of being a Tory Chief Whip, but this one is my favourite: - Andrew "utter knob" Bridgen gets the boot. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Young people are being set up to fail financially. They don’t understand credit, tax, or even how to run a bank account. This has to change.
