There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging £8000 a month.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

House builders say rent controls would 'make housing more expensive'. Water companies say their industry is 'too expensive to nationalise'. Billionaires say wealth tax would 'force them to leave the country'. But as Mandy Rice-Davies observed, they would say that, wouldn't they?

Sorry but the doom I feel with the AI race is somewhat similar to what I felt at the start of the pandemic. Many voices raising the alarm & urging action before it’s too late but they’re being labelled as alarmists while most people are oblivious & governments are too slow to pay attention & act.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

So if King Charles is claiming 'grief can colour memory' and Earl Spencer is lying (gaslighting, much?) is he saying his own memory is clear and thus admitting he had no grief over Diana?

Quite. Today’s Inside Politics newsletter by @stephenkb.bsky.social

As of this year, it is illegal to use a mask to hide your identity at a protest. It has been illegal for a lot longer than that to blockade critical infrastructure - like a port, say. — and it is corrosive to the foundations of liberal democracy to turn up in masks outside a newspaper's HQ because of a legitimate story you don't like.
Tackling this stuff is the bare minimum of what we should expect of any government. An administration that appears incapable of arresting the ringleaders or the attendees of such a protest is one that is visibly failing to do the basics of being a government. It feeds into a general narrative of malaise - that whether it is bike theft or responding to tricky geopolitical issues, Labour cannot govern. Taken together with Reform's difficulties, it is a gift for the Conservatives - if Kemi Badenoch can seize it.

Would they have 'both sided' the Blackshirts and Hitler in the 30s and said they had legitimate concerns? Please wake up & act,Burnham.
