This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

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

If IHT is taxing twice, then so is VAT, so is pretty much every non-income tax... it's a ridiculous argument from the right and wish people would point this out more...

Idiocy from Badenoch on inheritance tax. We need people to be spending money, not hoarding it. There are too many people living in houses totally inappropriate for them in old age...sometimes asset rich cash poor and claiming pension credit. We should incentivise downsizing. Absolutely hopeless.

Its weird,politics isnt it? Lab conf was about giving hope to working classes. Conservatives shaping up to support policies that they hope will appeal to middle classes eg £100k childcare cap removal. AfAIK its not 1966. Lab is the party of graduates and professionals. Tory = blue collar support.

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

On the triple lock. The courageous and correct thing to do. Will be bloody hard to get consensus. Rich pensioner: why should i give up triple lock, as extra £ pays for meals out etc? Poor pensioner: why should i give up some pension so a rich pensioner can have free care?
