Greens have stagnated and recent events won’t have helped them in votes to come but people expecting a Polanski win just weren’t paying attention.

Not as favourable as as others.

Hopefully he’ll stick to the Heard & McDonald Islands in that region.

Are you trying to piss off Faroese? /s

Precisely because of those things the threat is more clear, public support more robust and willingness/ability to inflict pain more present.

Carney is in a totally different situation.

Zelenskyy issues a statement responding to Trump’s deal with Putin to lift sanctions to purchase Russian oil and diesel.

What do you honestly expect as an alternative?

Yes, but utterly misleading portrayal of reporting. If they’d headlined that, far criticism but this is in a trail of live reporting. It’s worse than poor BBC reporting to portray this as poor BBC reporting. But I guess it gets engagement, the scourge of our current environment.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Still think that would be a catastrophic mistake that isn’t going to happen though there’s bound to be endless chatter as it’s ‘interesting’.

Is this, you have to laugh as the alternative is crying?

I’m happy for it to do so.

Because it’s better off if it does and the incentives at the moment are perverse. The state pays for all sorts of things for rich people.

It’s a mad policy (the current one) that desperately needs changing but their proposal would never get me voting Tory.

Which is why I just don’t see it ever changing regardless of how damaging it is. It’s 2nd on the Tax Policy Associates growth inducing tax changes.

So you understand how the childcare withdrawal operates and how it effectively brings in a stratospheric marginal rate just above £100k?

100

💯 so much derision around on the policy itself. I get that it’s coming from Kemi & the Tories so most people want to attack it because of that. People want good things to happen but I’m doubtful we’re capable.

Oh come on Tim, you’re better than that.

But it’s not good to have v high marginal rates at any level of the income scale and utterly perverse to have a marginal rate above 100%.

100

Which is why the mad system will stay.

There are v good arguments for getting rid of all the cliff edges and the ones at £100k are particularly perverse. Everyone would benefit but sadly I just don’t see it ever happening.

The pension conversation has turned, yet again, into Netflix and avocados. A quick thing though. Netflix: £20.99pm / £251.88pa Avo: 0.69p an avo - so £251pa if you had an avo every day. So, just over £500 a year Average 10% deposit? £27,300. So just 54 years to save there FFS.

Approaching Trump levels of BS.

The terminally “unwell”. Yes, the quote is a little out of context and was intended to be a little provocative, “ugly and pragmatic”.

And if long term wage growth isn’t at that level we’ll have bigger problems to deal with!

Yes, but he’s overtly awful and always has been.
