Mostly here for the politics and football. Pretty woke, hate injustice and oppression. Still think Brexit was a stupid idea. #FBPE. #LFC and Eastleigh Spitfires. Season ticket holder at both.

Fair play to Henry Winter for citing Hillsborough as a bigger sporting injustice than the Man. City situation. As much as City have behaved appallingly, people lost their lives at Hillsborough and were then smeared by the authorities, to cover up their own incompetence.

Why can't we just skip to the bit where Trump hails a deal to end the war, which is worse than what the USA already had, but has his signature on it? It could be called Greenland 2.

I've always favoured abolition of the House of Lords. But appointing establishment worthies unelected lawmakers for life and then allowing corporations bidding for huge public contracts to hire them on telephone number salaries is obviously as bent as a nine-bob note.

Spot on from @johnharris1969.bsky.social - “comfy, cosy, simple two-party politics” is over. Trying to shoehorn the complexity of our society & economy into 2 parties through our ludicrous voting system simply won’t work. Burnham says he still supports PR - so where’s the action?

Our fragmented political model will endure for the foreseeable future – and Reform will benefit from it until Burnham learns that cooperation is key, says Guardian columnist John Harris

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Thank you, and yes, you're absolutely right: the whole system needs a shakeup. Someone earning £20k a year is almost certainly paying between 3% and 20% of their net worth a year in tax, just on £20k. Rishi Sunak paid a maximum of 0.096% of his net worth in tax in 2023. Pennies, by comparison.

Yes, fair point, it does assume the 40% band moves in the same way. You're right (and my assumption was wrong) as you could cap the benefit of the tax change by not moving the 40% band. My concern remains that the price of making the change shouldn't be borne by those most in need.

Roger Silson #FBPE @rogsilson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
To a degree, I don't mind what the mechanism is, but the 60% marginal tax rate is an issue. Personally I would favour a mechanism which caps the tax free allowance at 20% benefit, which wouldn't create the issue that tapering creates at the top end of the band.

In isolation this would disproportionately benefit high earners, who would get £1,200. It would be paid for by cutting benefits and services, disproportionately used by lower earners. It would only work if high earners benefit is capped, and it's paid for by taxing wealth.

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
