I've got no sympathy for the WASPI demands, but these women have been led up the path with ridiculous expectations (£50,000 anybody?) while being fleeced to pay for failed legal actions. And still it goes on with Lib Dems, SNP and the 100 Labour MPs who signed that letter. It's cruel.

I've been thinkingabout why people seem to be so adamant in believing Labour haven't raised taxes since they got into power. It's because for you and me, we don't feel it. We aren't affected. Because the tax rises are almost exclusively on the richest in society. 1/2

The opposite is the case. In 1978/79, top 1% paid 11% of all income tax. In 2024/25, the top 1% will pay about 29% of all income tax. The trend is extraordinary:

I run a digital twin of the GB electricity system on my website. Oh, it would have reduced carbon by 77% over the last 4 weeks. You can see this working in real time at www.mygridgb.co.uk/2030grid. The 'how' is detailed in my book, Decarbonising Electricity: Made Simple

Yet another universities article that completely misses the point. The question is not 'fees or no fees?' in Scotland, it's twofold: 'are you gonna fund Higher Ed the same as England does' and 'what are you gonna do about your numbers cap'. www.bbc.com/news/article...
