💷 | NEW REPORT: Nearly 80% of Britain’s rising fiscal costs will come from an ageing population by 2075, but our tax system still piles more of the burden onto work & younger earners. In this report, @benansell.bsky.social argues for a new fiscal settlement 👇 www.ippr.org/articles/tax...

For all of the whining about the triple lock the reality remains that British state pensions are both less generous and accordingly more ’affordable’ than most peer nations. Which is why the triple lock was brought in in the first place.

Fascinating piece, check it out. The materialist in me is a little bummed that easing resource competition does not seem to help (the results are interesting to read in tandem with my paper on Austria with J. Ferwerda). On the other hand, suggests a fascinating research agenda on welfare chauvinism.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

The abolition of the two-child benefit cap, which punishes children for their parents' circumstances, is the best part of the budget, potentially lifting almost half a million children out of poverty. It may also be the part that comes under fiercest attack. So it needs celebrating and defending.

Fully repealing the two-child limit is by far the best way to ensure fewer children are growing up in poverty. Half measures have been mooted, but our modelling reveals that they would all still lead to an increase in child poverty by the end of the decade. Learn more ⤵️ buff.ly/qVc9CWs

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

In addition, I think also: politics is about argument! When I say 'the free movement of services, goods, capital and people is good for growth', I am not saying it because it is popular, but because it is true. It is in fact racist to say that mixed-race people should be deported!
