Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

The facts: almost £1 billion of bill payers' money spent just so that Thames Water can carry on ripping off its customers and polluting our rivers and streams. Water needs to be taken into public ownership. Ash Williams of @windrushwasp.bsky.social outside the High Court this morning.

⚖️If tomorrow's High Court ruling goes against Thames Water, and they are placed in special administration, then it's a pivotal moment for public ownership. 💧But it should just be the start. 🌊Water - ALL OF IT - should be in public hands, not just Thames Water.

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years. As an aide-mémoire for next time.

A tiny wealth tax on the super-rich would raise billions and boost the economy. Billions we could spend investing in our public services and reducing inequality. It really is that simple.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government. So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?

When is a fine not a fine? When it is levied on England's water companies. Aug 2024: OFWAT announced £168m fine on 3 companies. ZERO Paid. Dec 2024: £18m fine on Thames Water for paying unjustified dividends. ZERO Paid. Regulatory indulgence emboldens companies, encourages more abuses.

Personally, I think that Trump has already picked more battles (internal and external) than he can chew on. Letting Musk do as he pleases off any leash also makes this messier. It may take a little time, but America (and the world, unfortunately) has one hell of a headache incoming.
