Page 2 of today's (26/9/26) #FT follows up last week's article on #FredDone with an article on #Hargreaves. He warns against taxing the rich while saying that the UK is "slid". Hargreaves is another parasite living off others, so why is the FT giving him a platform for his self-serving views?

@skinnock.bsky.social As the Secretary of State for Wales will you talk to the Welsh Labour members of the Senedd to see why they blocked Plaid Cymru's budget and persuade them to support Plaid Cymru's actions wherever they reasonably can?

On Page Two of today's New York Times International Edition is an article headed "Six degrees of separation, live on the radio" about #ElisJames. It is a great profile of a Welsh National Treasure. Thursday, 2nd July 2026.

When will #Reeves take action to reduce inequality in the UK? Her first step should be to tax British citizens on World Wide Income and then use a wealth tax to raise funds to introduce a Universal Basic Income. What do you think?

Lots in news at the moment about #AI. It is mostly hype and bubble, isn't it?

Wow! Visa free travel to China! This is surely one of the most inconsequential gains that #Starmer could get out of the Chinese Government, isn't it?

How is keeping calm and kowtowing to #Trump going for you, #Starmer?

#BBC says it tries to be fair and balanced! But, #WOTO with #Sarah just had a segment discussing the #LibDem proposal to rejoin the EU's Custom Union and interviewed 3 people who were against the proposal. Where is the balance?

What do #Witkoff and #Trump get out of the Russian peace plan? Is there a side deal that benefits them personally?

The #BBC needs to recognise that it is giving air time and oxygen to #Farage and #Reform to attack democracy in the UK. #Farage is quick to criticise the #BBC and would destroy it if he could, so why does the #BBC keep seeking #Farage's opinion and inviting #Reform on to its programmes?

#UnitedNations recognises 21st September each year as the International Day of Peace. It encourages all nations to observe a day of non-violence and cease-fire.

@pjtheeconomist.bsky.social Thank you for an excellent article in today's (20th September 2025) edition of the FT. A long-term overhaul and simplification of the UK's tax system is badly needed. #Reeves' kite flying of possible actions is both unprofessional and dangerous, isn't it?

There is a good article in the #Observer dated 14/9/25 by #Malloch-Brown saying that the UN needs to get back in the ring and fight for what it believes in. That is fair comment, isn't it?

No, which is why I think we agreed to this bullshit deal. How I see this going is: Trump has fun saying how easy it was to get us, we carry on living as we always have, perhaps with a little more inflation, and then, as always, Trump caves and the deal falls through because of some TV bs.

observer.co.uk/news/politic... The article is worth reading but it is a whitewash. #Starmer needs to find his ideology and push for those things he knows are right.

I have just cancelled my subscription to the #SundayTimes. It used to be centrist, but has shifted right and populist. Did you see Rod Liddle's article about #Trump on 15th December? Are you appalled at the shift in editorial policy?

#RachelReeves was wrong to back off taxing #PrivateEquity companies to the fullest extent possible. Private Equity companies are not agents of Schumpeter's "Creative Destruction". They just destroy!

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social what do you think about "freebies"? Shouldn't "freebies" be severely limited? Should Yvette Cooper have accepted tickets to Taylor Swift's concert?

Shein. Do we really need Shein in the UK? There is far too much disposable consumerism, isn't there? "Fast Fashion" has reached the heart of the Labour Party through the influence of Lord Alli, hasn't it?
