    Kamala Harris

    Wow. A bit of an overreaction. You're having a go af people who can scarcely believe that your homeland may re-elect Trump with all the implications for the rest of the world. I don't know about deserving it, but the US may be about to elect a fascist. "There is an ongoing threat to America...

    Budget 2024

    Councils still own farms, though many have been sold off to plug the austerity financial gap. https://www.cpre.org.uk/explainer/county-farms-explainer/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_ZzxxuG5iQMVIpdQBh0gDw3CEAAYASAAEgIOH_D_BwE

    Budget 2024

    Even so, it's disappointing that a measure can't be devised to distinguish between long-held family farms and recent purchases for tax avoidance. And some "family farms" are big businesses, and you'd need some mechanism to prevent a "family" inheriting the farm then immediately selling it (or...

    Budget 2024

    Given the longer life expectancy of people in their own home with a good occupational pension, a lot of this inherited wealth will be going to people in their own home and already drawing their own occupational pension.

    Which general is a weirdo CCP plant? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/30/us/politics/trump-administration-criticism.html Is this Trump or Hitler? "This poison was allowed to enter the national bloodstream"

    Budget 2024

    See the edited version above. Telegraph's headline says a lot. Grieving families face £65,000 blow in Reeves’s inheritance tax grab

    Budget 2024

    But it's supposed to be a pension, not an investment for your family. Leave the surplus pension to charity. "1.4. In recent years, pension schemes have been increasingly used and marketed as a tax planning tool to transfer wealth without an Inheritance Tax charge, rather than for their intended...

    The Conservative Party

    So it's either the guy with a whiff of impropriety about him, or the woman getting that right then denying she'd said it.

    And they made him buy Twitter when he wanted to pull out of the deal!

    Funny how other countries seem to have high speed trains all over the place.

    The Labour Government

    That's why they've agreed to explore a modified (slower) version of the bit from Birmingham to Crewe, because putting HS2 trains via Birmingham onto the West Coast Main Line near Lichfield made no more sense than when the last government agreed to extend that phase to Crewe (then scrapped it)...

    The Labour Government

    I'm sorry for imagining you were a Tory. "Cretin" is the sort of language I expect from Tories. Inflation has obviously been more than 3% since the £2 fare was increased. Bus driver wages have gone up by more than 50%.

    The Labour Government

    And what option would you have recommended? How much would that cost in subsidy compared to other options? Would you have said anything at all if the Tories had just let the whole scheme expire?

    US Politics Thread

    What is an "improperly cast" ballot? How would they know who cast it? In the UK, the only intervention is that if someone gets their identification wrong (mistake on date of birth or a signature that looks way off the one on the application for a postal vote) they can now be told, but no-one...

    See? One plays MLK, commemorated with his own day in the USA, and one imitates Hitler. This is the ultimate Allthesamery.
