If Vladimir Putin changed the voting system days before an election to stop his opponents winning, every British journalist would call it what it is: rigging the rules.

Tonight, Labour rammed through a last‑minute switch in the Lords so that if Andy Burnham wins Makerfield and quits as Greater Manchester Mayor, his replacement won’t be chosen on a simple first‑past‑the‑post ballot, but on the supplementary vote system instead.

Why now?

Because Labour knows the race to replace Burnham would be a straight two‑horse fight with Reform UK – and under FPTP, the candidate with the most votes wins, no second chances, no back‑room redistributions, no “stop Reform” stitch‑ups.

Under SV, Labour gets a second bite of the cherry: if their candidate can limp into the top two, they can hoover up second preferences from every other party and magic a “majority” on the second count, even if Reform tops the poll on first preferences.

This isn’t “modernising democracy”. It’s the governing party using its Commons majority and the unelected Lords to hurriedly doctor the rules of one specific contest because it’s terrified the voters might choose someone else.

When the establishment preached to the world about “rules‑based order”, they forgot to mention one thing: in Britain, the rules are “based” on whether Labour thinks it might lose.

Keir Starmer: “there is no such thing as two-tier policing”.

Police chiefs today: “we will review controversial guidance advising officers to treat ethnic minorities differently”.

The absurdity of modern Britain.

Tax the rich more they say, well here's the NEW Sunday Times list of the top 10 UK taxpayers:

(And do you know what SIX of them have in common? See below, but I think you can guess)

1: Fred and Peter Done and family - Betfred - £400.1m
2: Alex Gerko - trader - £331.4m
3: Chris Rokos - bond trader - £330m
4: Stephen Rubin and family - Chair of Pentland Group - £325.6m
5: Denise, John, and Peter Coates - Bet365 - £227.1m
6: Peter Hargreaves - Hargreaves Lansdown Co-founder - £210m
7: Tom Morris and family - Home Bargains - £209.1m
8: Sir Tim Martin - JD Wetherspoon pubs - £199.7m
9: Mike Ashley - retail - £175.9m
10: Dame Mary, Douglas Perkins and family - Specsavers - £121.7m

So that’s £2.5 Billion from just 10 businesses/owners

So we do, in fact, tax the rich more. And more. And even more. In fact, they are SMUG about it:

"This year there's been a big jump in the amount of tax we've identified - largely because of higher corporation tax rates."

But do you know what SIX of the top 10 have in common? Can you guess?

They all LEFT the U.K.

It takes 562,00 lower rate tax payers to pay the same as these SIX people who’ve left! Read that again!

When will the U.K. wake up to what’s really going on?

How it started How it’s going

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

44.7% of the U.K population do not contribute any income tax at all

Yet the top 1% pay 33% of the tax

And the top 10% pay 69% of the total tax revenue 

A £25,000 earner pays £2,486 but a £150,000 earner pays £53,460 in tax 

So no, we should NOT tax the rich more. They are ALREADY taxed more. 

No wonder all the millionaires are leaving the U.K. 

And how is this ‘fair’?

I'm catching up on what fans have been saying since yesterday's game, and, like clockwork, I've found some who are still complaining.

Apparently, we haven't scored enough goals this season, despite scoring more than any other team in the league and having the best goal difference. Honestly, what more do you want?

I used to moan a lot, but it was justified because, as a club, we were in a mess, and so were the results. However, our fans have now become increasingly entitled. So needy. If you want guaranteed entertainment, consider spending your weekends at Butlins.

Prepare yourselves.... PGMOL wont let us win tomorrow after their favourite child Liverpool managed to lose today.

Away to Newcastle, we are in for the worst refereeing performance we've seen in weeks.

[EPL Bible @EPLBible]

So VAR and the referee just overturned this penalty for Arsenal…

Right decision? 🫣

If we allow Afghan “asylum seekers” into our country, costing billions, they must not be allowed to HOLIDAY in the country they claim poses a threat to them.
Anyone who went back to Afghanistan must be deported immediately.

So tedious, predictable, and embarrassing for the Mayor of London to do this every time President Trump comes to town. He may get the ‘likes’ he craves from the woke brigade, but I suspect a lot of Londoners would much prefer Trump to Khan tackling issues like crime in London.

Wow. It’s almost like they’re not a bunch of racist, bigoted extremists and most are actually just…
