Farage is about to set out his “economic vision” in a speech, which Labour says would bring back austerity.. He’s a huge fan of Thatcher who implemented spending curbs and a focus on reducing Govt’s role in the economy, which has been described as an early form of austerity Only the rich benefit❗️

There is a £40bn tax hole and govt must hike taxes, say headlines. None said that HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn last yr. 40% (£18.6bn) relates to corporations. £500bn since 2010. NAO says wealthy are dodging taxes. Corporations shift profits to dodge taxes. Why hit the little people?

Trump hasn’t cut drug prices by even 1%, let alone “1500%”. He told drug companies on Truth Social to cut their prices. They didn’t. End of story. This was also his plan to end the war in Ukraine - by posting “Vladimir Stop!” on Truth Social. It’s also how he handles trade.

Oh yeah, because this won't in any way shape or form lead to people attacking delivery persons, Uber drivers etc. FFS, the image alone is meant to instil fear. That is guaranteed to lead to attacks. Labour's new pledge "actively inciting violence to gain votes"
Screenshot of an official Prime Minister post deliberately stoking fear and hate against migrants with a shadowy figure, reminiscent of old far right campaigns, and saying:
@10DowningStreet

We're taking action to stop migrants working illegally as food delivery drivers.

DELIVERED BY WHO?

Our new agreement means the government will share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats.

So they'll know if riders are staying there and can take action.

What's the deal with bonuses like Thames Water is trying to give? Why are people so keen to get them, and companies so keen to give them? It's because they are usually completely tax free, they are paid in shares to Tax Havens. They should be illegal or taxed at 47%.

Labour trying to cater to reform voters is a really dumb move. The majority of reform gains in the local elections came directly from the tories. Potentially, every right wing vote you gain you lose a left wing vote.
