The Daily Mail, Express, Sun, Telegraph say they disagree

wise words................ "don't let perfection be the enemy of good"

Unfortunately you arent looking at this in the correct way: the wealthiest people have large disposable incomes, after paying their housing costs and essentials they have a large headroom those living on low and middle incomes dont have much, often no money left after housing costs and...

Conservatives have cancelled their digital campaign, So all those ads pushing the "labour will cost you £2000 tax" have been pulled...although I suspect they might be changing their strategy as a result of Farage standing, maybe we shall see Conservatives going further right of Reform!! "The...

Rishi Sunak seems to be hiding, there are rumours he has cancelled public engagements Is he about to resign Nadine Dorries tweeted as such……so it’s probably not true

U.K. has high levels of inequality and lower standard of living for the lower and middle incomes compared to lots of similar economies. No need for a revolution we just need to end our weak parliamentary system and voting system. It

Concrete screws are very fussy on drill bit size, I seem to remover I used 5.5mm and 6.0mm or could’ve been 6.5mm The screws are 7mm diameter and the pilot hole size depends on the material hard brick or concrete go a 0.5mm bigger. If they are too tight you can end up with three quarters of...

U.K. society is way more unequal than most similar Western economies, the fundamental problem is the wealthy have increased their assets and thus capital growth whilst those at the lower end have seen shrinking assets. UK govt has flogged loads of its public services and infrastructure so we...

If it was that easy we wouldn’t be in this mess

What political parties do is offer lower taxes as a bribe to win power, then the raise taxes. Or in case of current govt; Its put £80b of tax rises in place since 2019 and now in 2024 just before election lower NI and claim they are the party of low taxes. Sunak literally said “we will keep on...

That perpetuates a system where workers pass wages to landlords who turn it into capital. The result is that all the wealth ends up in the hands of the few locking out workers from access to assets. People who bought houses 20+ years ago haven’t earnt the increase in value, they have just...

Agreed Home ownership rates are falling because affordability ratios have dropped so much. More people get lock out of rent and that means the workers have less assets and the wealthy gain assets. I know landlords don’t earn much from rentals but there renters pay rent forever while the...

There is an increasing interest in tactical voting in this election. It’s possible that combined with Reform, Conservatives could potentially end up not being the official opposition, which would be a historic end to 2 party system. That could open the path to political reform, that would be...

U.K. has serious wealth inequality Our living standards are lower than many equivalent economies It’s the fault of the wealthy because they give money to political parties to influence policy for their benefit The problems in the U.K. are due to the wealthy accumulating more and more assets...

it is the age old problem we know we need higher taxes but the public vote for lower taxes The Conservatives have been promising freebies for decades, during the 80s and 90s the Tories lowered taxes as a bribe using North Sea oil revenue as the funding source so squandering it unlike Norway...

Since 2019 there have been £80b of taxes rises put in place mostly stealth taxes by freezing personal allowance and tax bands. Tories are lying when they say they cutting taxes Labour are being dishonest by not addressing it

this point: "Also more actual bands because 20% & 40% are now hitting the lower earners hardest" I would say that those tax bands are where we see people struggling, but I wonder if the problem is that wages are too low and cost too high rather than taxation Property costs and childcare costs...

I defend the opportunity for the rights of the mega rich to have much more than they need I dont care how much people can earn I do care that our political system is rigged so the wealthy can give money to government in exchange for political influence specifically so that the rich can...

Do you think the typical British worker should be able to earn enough in a full time job to afford to live and have a secure home? We currently have 4.8m people in food insecurity, 6 million people in fuel poverty and 8 million people waiting for NHS treatment the UK has far worse levels of...
