2024-25: the richest fifth paid 30% of gross household income in direct taxes, poorest fifth 16%. The richest fifth paid 11% of disposable income in indirect taxes, poorest fifth 27%. The poorest pay higher proportion of income in taxes. Can't revive economy on that. Must redistribute.

Walz: If trade is so bad with Canada. He was the guy who signed the deal. I think this is how he ran business.The one thing is his claim that he's the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed

Always confused when UK commentators seek to understand what Farage says and does purely on the basis of domestic political tactics. Perhaps the man just means what he says? As in, he sympathizes with Russia, resents Zelensky, loathes the EU, &thinks of Trump as a kindred spirit?

Nigel Farage triggered a backlash today after he suggested Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with US President Donald Trump would have gone better if the Ukrainian president had worn a suit to the White House.

New law to ban bonuses for polluting water bosses in England, says UK govt. Unenforceable, as I said in parliament. Thames Water has said that it will circumvent by increasing base pay of bosses. Best options are customer-elected directors on company boards, customer vote on exec pay.

A former Soviet spy says that Trump was indeed recruited to the KGB 38 years ago by his department. He was given a codename, 'Krasnov'. We checked, and the source was indeed a KBG intelligence officer at the time. Read about it in my @bylinetimes.bsky.social report: bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Worst performance I've ever seen in the CL ever. Defeats to Spurs and Monaco were painful but at least they gave everything and could be proud. That was nothing short of a disgrace. If Silva or Gundo play Sunday, I'm walking out the ground.

And that's why it's not going to happen. No one is carrying out those orders. If China get those semiconductor fabrication plants is game over. So yes, we'd have to, or say goodbye to any technological advantage and a microchip choke on the West. Clearly very uneducated on geopolitics.

Nuclear war, oh I get it you're scared. Give in to the bullies and appease them. Wonder what you'd have said in 1939.

Ohh dear people actually use phrases like "proper country" bless you, ignorance off the scale. It's a sovereign nation the same as any other, the fact you have a hierarchy is shameful and shows basically the shame attitude as any imperialist. Trust Putin to stop there, once taken would you?

Didn't hear him suggesting they'd be fighting Russians like you did but peacekeeping, so completely disingenuous statement at best. Russia isn't doing great either, economy in the bin and having to use donkeys to move equipment. You always have diplomacy but UA wants to be UA not 3/4s of Ukraine.

The rocks at the very top of Mount Everest, almost nine kilometres above sea level, are fossil-rich limestones deposited in a shallow marine sea 450 million years ago. That's what plate tectonics can do.
