🧵Kemi Badenoch's comments that people earning over £100,000 a year are somehow “punished” for working harder is deeply troubling when discussing free childcare provision. It risks implying that higher earners work harder than people on much lower salaries, many of whom work incredibly

A sad, lonely woman jilted by her brash lover is left to wile away the empty hours in an isolated flat in Dubai.
After consuming yet another vodka her mind wanders & she types out far fetched fantasies desperately seeking attention & solace.
Please could someone call a doctor.😬

Andy Burnham's speech to Labour conference was excellent. Passionate, principled & explicitly putting the blame for the state of a stagnant, broken Britain on Thatcher's deindustrialisation, privatisation & the dismantling of the post-war consensus to put profit before people.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen.

In 2021, income tax personal allowance was frozen at £12,570.

If aligned with inflation, it would now be £16,070.

A minimum wage earner in England will pay extra £980 in income tax & NIC in 2026-27.

Govt can easily increase personal allowance by £3,000, worth £600 to basic rate taxpayer.
This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population
