It’s a special episode of More Rosebud for New Year’s Eve … as well as meeting the #Rosebud team, we’re offering you a practical guide to how to secure a truly happy new year with a talk about the 7 secrets of happiness - they work & could change your life … @therosebudpod
So a tax that no school has ever paid is now being described as a tax break, which nobody ever has before. As opposed to a new tax on education, which is what it is. It’s an impressively Orwellian use of nomenclature. And it will pay for a third of an extra teacher in every state school. Well done. Revolutionary.
The festive season is a time for celebration, joy and spending time with loved ones.
It is also a time for reflection, and keeping in our thoughts those who may find this time of year difficult or lonely, and those who are sacrificing their Christmas to look after others.
However this period may look for you, I’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the very best as we move into 2025🎄
The DRAMA of this! Archbishop of Paris SINGING to the organ of Notre Dame to ‘waken up, you sacred instrument’, after 5 years of sleep. The organ answers him with a fanfare!
Once you compress incentives from the top-down and say, "It doesn't matter how much you earn I'm going to take the lion's share away," they say, "Alright, I'm no longer going to do the lion's part." Then they stop creating the extra wealth which would benefit both themselves and society as a whole.
This is utterly superb. Tom Hunter gives Labour MP Darren Jones a simple and well needed lesson in economic growth.
Labour are full of career politicians who've never had a job. It's terrifying this even needs to be explained!
Worth a watch 🔥

So now we know:
Winter Fuel Payment - won’t raise any money
Schools Tax - won’t raise any money
Private Equity & Nom Doms Tax - won’t raise any money
Turns out Rachel’s politics of envy doesn’t pay and it’ll be the public who are stuck with the bill.
OUR POST OF STARMER IN MAY 2024 ATTACKING THE TORIES FOR CONSIDERING THE CANCELLING OF WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONERS HAS BEEN REMOVED.
CLEARLY SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THIS, EVEN THOUGH STARMER'S CHANCELLOR ACTUALLY DID THIS 60 DAYS LATER! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).
Hopefully whoever becomes the MP can help make this happen. Many LD Cllrs clearly support the school but decision not to defend JR taken by officers. Court yet to quash original approval? May though need different leadership in MVDC Cabinet @cllrhunt@marisaheath06@ChrisCoghlan
