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.

But the problem here is that this is a false information shared on purpose by Jair/Flávio Bolsonaro's allies and BBC didn't check before publishing it.

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

You could also add in people like Owen Hargreaves, Declan Rice, Matt Le Tissier etc. etc. Braverman is an idiot, trying to pander to bigots, whilst trying to unwind decades of social and cultural progress.

New GB News accounts are out. Here are their losses to date. Or "spent political donations" if you prefer
Line chart titled 'GB News has lost £142m to date', showing cumulative losses in pounds rising steadily from around £3m in 2020/1 to £142m by 2025. The red line climbs most steeply between 2021/2 and 2023/4, reaching roughly £110m, then flattens as growth slows towards £142m. A note states the latest figures cover the seven-month period to 31 December 2025. Chart by Press Gazette, source: Companies House

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.

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?

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.

I agree with everything you say, but I have to retain some hope, for my children. Whilst it's clear that the ultra wealthy are buying political power, to divide our society, and distract people from the real issues, we can't entirely excuse the voters who are seduced by the hateful rhetoric.

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.

Roger Silson #FBPE @rogsilson.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
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.
