There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Our undercover reporter @scatatkins.bsky.social posed as a far right journalist at the Reform Conference, and got thrown out for asking difficult questions about Farage's corruption scandal.

It’s a crowded field, but the jaw-dropping moment for me is when Orr reels off all the other illicit donors who have illicitly donated one to Reform via illicit means, like this is helpful

As someone else has pointed out, Professor James Orr spent 4 years at Oxford's McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics & Public Life as a postdoc fellow. Of the Ten Commandments, I think the 8th - "thou shalt not bear false witness" - is broken here, but also 1, 7, 9 and 10 are in play

I get why Matt posts this nonsense every day, outrage pays. None of this is on the current government. Open borders? Brexit. Soft-on-crime chaos? Tories. Highest taxes since the 1940s? Tories. Shafted pensioners? Tories. Farmers driven to despair? Brexit. Hotels for migrants? Brexit + Tory failure.

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism. Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

And yet the opposite is true. Only a quarter of tax is income tax. The majority is taxes poor people cannot avoid such as VAT. The upshot is that, as a percentage of income, the poorest pay the most tax & the richest the least, and that does not consider the ability of the rich to hide income abroad
