£72million can’t fix this. Nothing can fix this. This is Reform.

Trump is going to continue blaming Ukraine for skyrocketing energy prices, but all available evidence proves Trump caused this global energy crisis by launching his war against Iran.

Have the "libs" no compassion? I heard about a tech bro who wanted to buy a 450-ft. yacht, but thanks to that 3% tax, now he can only afford a 447-foot yacht. How do the "libs" sleep at night knowing the suffering they cause among people whose only crime was being better than everybody else?

Are the Tories making plans for the dead to keep working?
Helen Whately on Sky News: "We want to bring down the tax burden on working people. Kemi has asked her economic unit for a fiscally responsible way to bring down inheritance tax, another tax that hits hard working people hard."
One of the dumbest people in politics. Liz Truss levels of stupid.

This answer is interesting because it illustrates how little most people have thought about the effects of AI.

With Lucy Powell saying she wants to see GCSEs involve more coursework, where do Britons stand on how much final grades should be based on exams versus coursework?
Based entirely coursework: 4%
Mostly on coursework: 19%
About even split: 47%
Mostly on exams: 12%
Entirely on exams: 3%

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy.
I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long.
So how do we fix it?
