Hopeless Healey: my SKETCH of a Chancellor who's rather better at despair. thecritic.co.uk/the-...

“I’m a proud optimist,” John Healey told the Labour Party conference, unconvincingly. Perhaps he is. Let’s imagine that, away from the cameras, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is known as the cheeriest chap in the office, spotting the silver lining on every cloud and for ever detecting blessings beneath their disguises. Unfortunately, the Almighty, displaying once again the sense of humour that holds the universe together, has bestowed upon Healey the demeanour of an undertaker who’s just learned his business has burned down.

Yet US are inviting Russia to the G20 for other leaders to 'engage'? I hope none of them do except to say 'get the fuck out of Ukraine' and maybe we'll talk.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Putin has been invited to the G20 summit in Miami in December. “We think it’s an opportunity for him to engage not just with the President, but with other world leaders.” The Trump team is working so hard for Putin they deserve a medal.

Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

One of the most underreported stories is how Ukraine over months has managed to retake this vital Donbas sector. Russia is now losing 40,000 soldiers per month, while ALSO losing ground (and burning up the economy). After the fake elections it's time for the Russian people to speak out about Putin.

Abolishing inheritance tax would be a mistake. There are better taxes to cut. Evidence that IHT significantly discourages saving is limited; there's stronger evidence of an effect the other way - large inheritances lead heirs to work less. And it's right we tax wealth.

Ben Delo isn't just a "billionaire expat" with a soft spot for Farage. In 2022 he was found guilty of serious criminal charges in the United States. American prosecutors said he deliberately built a dodgy crypto platform designed to help people hide dirty money. He admitted as much in court.

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

Reform UK has been removed from the Alliance for Proportional Representation. It comes after a Q&A at conference where Reform MP Danny Kruger said: “On PR there is a significant danger [Lab.] will try to introduce it...Reform’s position is we support First Past the Post.” Reform's 2024 manifesto:

Proportional Representation Voting for the
House of Commons
Large numbers of voters have no representation
in parliament and new parties are shut out of the
political system. Voter turnout could be some 10%
higher with PR. A referendum is needed.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

One easy way to tell they're not actually "the most transparent administration in history" is that this is the first time in five decades that the president and vice president didn't have their taxes audited and released to the public.
