Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm in the 'some of those people' age bracket of which you speak and I can say from personal experience you're talking horseshit, while you're use of the phrase 'native majority' speaks volumes 🙄 030
Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Can we get them to enter Reform next? They seem adept at wrecking electoral prospects wherever they bob to the surface 0160
Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's very depressing, particularly when Reform is wobbling and Cons have decided anything that might hint at an environmentally friendly policy is 'woke' and must be crushed. The goal was wide open and they just hoofed the ball up the other end of the pitch. 130

They broadly understand that sometimes one has a cultural link to people with bad views. 12569100

Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 29/09/2026distribution requires a fundamental restructuring of tax system, & no pols give the slightest impression they've even considered the notion, least of all the populist fantasists who apparently want us to elect them without the hint of any kind of plan they might have in mind. 100
Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 29/09/2026No. I also don't think that increasing personal tax rates on a small number of extortionately rich UK taxpayers will have much impact on those struggling; they have the resources to make tax reduction simple, or not base themselves in UK (why do you think they have yachts😉?) a more equitable wealth 210
Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Which would be a start, but increased general tax rates will have to come at some point. None of which is covered by meaningless BS like 'tax the rich'. I've had enough of pols pretending that 'tax cuts for all' or 'tax the rich' are realistic solutions. 200
Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think we might agree that universal 'triple lock' state pension is unaffordable long-term & disproportionately increases tax burden on waged/young. So means test pension & new social care package & do away with high tax relief on pension contributions, maybe all tax relief. 110

Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Because the triple lock weights social benefit in favour of old v young, has no bearing on desperately needed social for same pensioners, many of whom are the rich you want to tax. But hey, why bother with actual sums when a catchy 1 liner serves your populist quest for power better. 121
Mark Greig @wrdface.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Sounded to me like tentatively introducing the idea of the inevitable, ie. rejoining in some form in the medium to long-term when a meaningful proportion of Brexit voters have shuffled off, so for that at least colour me heartened. 000
