Enough with the outrage theatre. If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill? You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record. #VoteGreen

This was the moment when Trump's political career should have ended. He was never suitable for public office but when he stood up on stage and mocked Serge Kovaleski, that was the moment when he showed the public exactly who he is. #NeverTrump

Those "concerned parents" outside "migrant hotels" remind me a lot of the paedophile mob panic created by the News of the World's "name and shame" campaign in 2000. Same idiots. Same press. Same mentality. Yes - the News of the World. Remember why they shut down?

Don't you just love misleading statistics? The Torygraph announces that 12% of prisoners are foreign born, ignoring the fact that 16% of the UK population is foreign born. The conclusion here is that foreign born people are less likely to be criminals in jail, the opposite of what they're reporting

No work should be unpaid. If a criminal isn't a danger to society, why imprison them at all? Fines and community service are surely sufficient? Community service isn't work and this article confuses the two and makes it sound like work is a punishment rather than something satisfying and worthwhile.

Worth noting that MSM targeting Reeves is because she is a creative Chancellor. She has implemented ways to tax the wealthy that are felt by the rich but not by the rest of us. That means the rest of us are unaware in many cases. So here’s a reminder
Wealth Taxes introduced by Labour to date

1.HMRC to introduce major suite of anti-tax avoidance proposals
a)plan to tackle those using contrived insolvencies to evade tax and write off debts owed to others.
b)directors personally liable for co taxes
c)HMRC overhauling offshore tax non‑compliance by the wealthy, deploying AI to identify those who hide their wealth
2.Increase business/property tax on large, particularly online businesses to reinvest in small high street and hospitality businesses
3.Air passenger duty on private jets up 50%
4.Increase stamp duty on purchases of second homes up to 5% from 3% in total 
5.Changes to IHT on agricultural estates
6.Abolishing Non Dom status
7.VAT on private school fees
8.Changes to make Land Registry transparent on land/property ownership 
9.Changes to pension inheritance tax
10.Increase to Capital Gains tax

Governments don't have many powers really. They can create legislation. They can set tax policies. They can wage war. They can fund public works. That's about it. Closing tax loopholes is the obvious option. Not some of them. All of them. If you earn anything by any means, it should be taxed.

The reason Labour won't rejoin the EU is that it goes against the manifesto promise that explicitly says we won't rejoin, the EU, the Single Market, or the Customs Union. They did this to stop the right wing press from attacking them and stopping them winning the election.
