A left-of-Labour splinter party, comprising two people, already at odds with each other about the launch, is just too perfect a metaphor. I hope they get it together. As longtime listeners know, I think lack of a socialist party is unhealhty and its presence is a good development for UK politics.

This was a relatively small sum of money from households that could mostly afford it ā Ā£200 a year vs up to Ā£10,000 a year from the welfare reforms as first proposed.
And we wonder why politicians wonāt dare ask the UK electorate to face up to any difficult decisions.

š Itās the anniversary of Labourās election win. The Government had some early stumbles, but what do the public think is their biggest mistake? Asked to say in their own words, itās one of the most stark word clouds weāve seen. Winter Fuel Allowance drowns everything else out.

āThis year, it will mark that day for the 249th time with a bill that essentially creates one anew ā and gives him his own private army, too. Happy āindependenceā day, America.ā

āICE has 21 times the funding available to the AFT to enforce the laws on firearms and arms smuggling. It has 13 times the funding available to the DEA, at a time when Trump has claimed the fentanyl crisis is one of his top priorities. It has eight times the total budget available to the FBI.ā

Have deleted my posts (inflation data isn't in the underlying spreadsheet, isn't linked and doesn't come from HMRC, so now I can't tell what he's done. But the methodology is also wrong...)

It's real terms - if you don't believe the data, take it up with HMRC, what are you using?
