Council Tax has become increasingly regressive. It now takes nearly 5% of income from the poorest families but barely 1% from the richest. For many, it's become a grinding monthly obligation to rival the Poll Tax.

Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files more times than Jesus Christ is mentioned in the bible.

Corporate America is angry at Trump but still scared of the mob. They should be upping the bribes to bring him down; rather than fighting in the courts. More competent villainy than this mediocre middle management culture has shown so far.

Reform want ICE-style deportations in the UK — the kind that have wreaked havoc in the US. Instead of standing up to this Trump tribute act, Labour is echoing it. And it won’t fix what’s broken. Inequality is the problem — and only the Greens have a plan to confront it. @CarlaDenyer.bsky.social

Labour miss targets and then move the goalposts to hide their mismanagement.

The right wing press that was so enraged by “muslim” grooming hangs is suddenly uncomfortable when the real pedophile gang includes a lot of White Billionaires?

So-called 'crime predicting' tech automates racism in the criminal justice system. Even the police have admitted that it's biased, with it being based on flawed police data 🤷 We need to stop pouring in good money after bad. We need an outright ban on its use. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

So…. The compliance department at the bbc has apparently deemed that saying the N word is less offensive than saying ‘free Palestine’?

The way people talk about X versus Bluesky is so disconnected from reality. Do people remember Twitter as a place where the discourse was always good faith and productive? It was and still is the opposite. The primary difference between these sites is just that one is led by and crawling with Nazis

The upside of certain journalists whinging about not being welcomed on BlueSky, is that the entitled whinging shits will hopefully fuck off.

I have a quick query about education and the disability discrimination act. Do any of my followers with expertise have a minute for a quick question on email? Thank you!
