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..

Oh, look. Brexit just cost us another £370,000,000! (The Trader Support Service system is only required because it's now MUCH harder to trade goods back and forth between GB and NI. It owes its existence exclusively to Brexit.) www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/00547...

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)

A great summary of reality for British farming and rural communities from Agromenes in Country Life Mag 👏 There is only one sensible option, the U.K. needs to recalibrate its relationship with Europe, with which we share standards and where our largest export market lies. ❌ No to USA trade deal

Every. Single. Bloody. Thing. They. Promised. About. Brexit. Was. A. Lie. And on they go demanding it be protected as if it’s something precious rather than the stupidest thing a country could have done to itself. Here’s what prejudice delivers… A barrelling shitshow of failure. 👇

Cut red tape, they said. Frictionless trade, they said. Exact same benefits, they said. Reality: delays & obscene price rises for consumers due to additional Brexit border checks. Brexit is a failure & we are all paying for the madness. www.fpcfreshtalkdaily.co.uk/post/jenney-...

Despite endless stories that suggest the opposite, unemployment has stayed steady - & historically low at 4.4% The panic about too many people & too many of them being on benefits is misplaced. The problem is the wealth we all create goes only to the rich #r4today

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

“Europe will not be part of Ukraine-Russia peace talks, US envoy says” Shocking, but the bigger question is - what does it have to do with the US? If they are not actively there to help Europe & Ukraine… then they are in these talks on the side of themselves and Russia. That’s the reality now.

Rachel Reeves looks to have been a bit silly but for journalists of a certain age to profess outrage at creative expenses claims turns hypocrisy in to an art form. When I started out, one legendary character was reputed to have put a son through Eton via bogus receipts. But my favourite story...
