I had some hopes. John Healey has shattered them www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/07... John Healey outlined what he saw as the role of the Treasury in a speech yesterday. It was pure George Osborne. There is no hope for Burnham with Healey in No. 11.

John Healey’s appointment as Chancellor surprised many people, me included. The biggest reason for surprise was that he has no record as an economic thinker. As I noted on Monday evening, he might ha...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

In 1776 Thomas Paine published the political pamphlet "Common Sense". His description of the ignorance and unfitness of out-of-touch elitists who consider themselves 'born to rule' stands as true today as it did over 200 years ago.

"The moment has come to give fascism a usable short handle, even though we know that it encompasses its subject no better than a snapshot encompasses a person. Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion."

Trigger warning: This story about Caroll Spinney, the man inside Big Bird, might make the room dusty
Caroll Spinney inside his Big Bird costume operating the beak with his outstretched arm. When asked about his most meaningful interaction with a fan, Spinney had this say:
"I got a letter from a fan who said his little boy, who was 5 years old, his name was Joey, he was dying of cancer. And he was so ill, the little boy knew he was dying.
So the man, in his letter, asked if I would call the little boy. He said the only thing that cheered him at all in his fading state was to see Big Bird on television.
So once in a while, he wouldn't see Big Bird on some days, because he wasn't necessarily in every show.
So he asked could I telephone him, and talk to the boy, tell him what a good boy he's been. So I took a while to look up a phone, because this was before cell phones. And they got a long cord to bring a phone to the boy.
And I had Big Bird say 'Hello! Hello Joey! It's me, Big Bird!'
So he said 'Is it really you, Big Bird?'
'Yes, it is!'I chatted a while with him, about ten minutes, and he said 'I'm glad you're my friend Big Bird.'
And I said 'I'd better let you go now.'
He said 'Thank you for calling me Big Bird. You're my friend. You make me happy!
And it turns out that his father and mother were sitting with him when the phone call came. And he parents in, be il that day were t sure lew tong he id last.
And so his father wrote to me right away, and said
'Thank you, thank you' - he hadn't seen him smile since October, and this was in March - and when the phone was hung up, he said 'Big Bird called me! He's my friend.'
And he closed his eyes. And he passed away.
And I could see that what I say to children can be very important.
And he said 'We haven't seen our little boy smile in
MONTHS. He smiled, as he passed away. It was a gift to us. Thank you.'"
