Alongside declining polls for Reform, the good news about the Telegraph’s volte face on Brexit is that it gives Labour political cover from the far right to reapply to rejoin the EU.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

If Musk put his money into a basic UK savings account paying 4%, this is the interest he would earn: Per year: £14.4 billion Per day: £39.45 million Per hour: £1.64 million Just the interest = 370,000 average UK earners. And he doesn't work interest. And he wants to pay less tax.

It's a story as old as time itself. People with a £2 million house complaining they can't afford an extra £5k a year. And then you read down the article and they're also whinging that their *second property* that they rent out, might be due for extra tax too! Cry me a river.

This is how it works: after lobbying Richard Tice with a trip to the French Riviera (to discuss "gas power" without having any expertise in the industry), the wife of a former Putin minister now attacks Labour and Conservatives. You don't need Specsavers to see what is going on.

It'd be cool if the "increasing the cost of motoring hurts poor people" people cared anything like as much about cost to people who rely on public transport - who are disproportionately likely to be poor and disabled, and who consistently face far greater increases in cost.

Absolutely this. Why does aviation get a free pass? It's very polluting and is a major contributor to the climate emergency. I also hope that Reeves will raise fuel duty on ice vehicles, but I fear it won't happen.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests. Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch. We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms).
