@thefabians.bsky.social why are your default 'share' settings only X and Facebook?

"The real question is no longer whether Britain could recover its old opt-outs and budget rebates, but whether it is prepared to join a union that is more fiscally integrated, more interventionist, more geopolitical and...markedly less British than the one it left." @mijrahman.bsky.social

But before politicians ask taxpayers for more, they should find out why so much tax already owed is vanishing.

Why Labour MPs are still on X

I will be blunt, at the point you are asking “but why should Labour MPs stop using a product owned by someone who endorses their own murders?”…you’d think “self-respect” would be on there.

Reddit, Snapchat and TikTok users are disproportionately likely to back the Greens, reflecting those platforms younger age profile, while being a user of X is one of the strongest indicators of being likely to support Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, which has been endorsed by Elon Musk

Qu’est-ce que c’est un ´think tank’ - équipe caché des projets idéologiques ?

Venue tout droit des États-Unis, l'appellation "think tank" désigne tantôt un "groupe de réflexion", tantôt un "laboratoire d'idées". Dans les coulisses de la politique parlementaire, on revendique penser. Reste à savoir à quoi et pour le compte de qui.

‘The press has been like a dog with a bone, chasing down bond market analysts for apocalyptic visions of Burnhamism, treating vox pops conducted within the Square Mile as the expression of pure economic reason.’ @will-davies.bsky.social, online now from the next issue. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

So either more local taxation (capacity dependent) or more central allocation ( reducing local input) + stronger distribution criteria
