Feels like this FT article on UK tax is a bit too vibes-based. UK taxes are unremarkable in European context. Our tax wedge is in the lower third of OECD countries. Our 24% higher CGT rate is lower than many European countries. Where the UK does stand out is the cost of housing and childcare.

One thing us normal people are learning is how utterly fucking tedious it must have been from 19933-39. All the same fucking clowns with the same fucking lines "If you can't see he's a good communicator, I don't know what to say" "He has some good ideas" "You're overreacting" 1/2

The most remarkable film shot on one of the most remarkable days in history. It captures the North Shore Regiment on JUNO Beach near St. Aubin-sur-Mer on D-Day.

The governing party winning a by-election is *always* a win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election they were expected to lose is a *good* win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election in a seat *they didn't previously hold* is a great day for its leader.
