.@zarahsultana I assume this is a different Zarah Sultana MP to the one who was recently filmed clapping along to loudspeaker chants for intifada, on a street in Surrey.

A £9k tuition fee graduate excels in life and is on a salary of £100-125k. They start a family. Their marginal tax rate is… 85%

What social contract?

The smart response from Starmer is to start rebuilding our hard power capabilities now. That begins with a basic truth our political class keeps dodging: dense, reliable energy is the weapon.

That means backing the North Sea, lifting the shale moratorium, ending the taboo on coal, ditching Clean Power 2030, and scrapping the Climate Change Act. We cannot rebuild hard power while locking ourselves into expensive, intermittent power and deeper dependence on foreign supply chains.

We have had nearly 11 years to prepare for a world like this. Crimea was the first warning. 2022 should have been the final wake up call. Yet after each shock our leaders chose weakness and pretended like the old world would simply snap back into place.

They doubled down on Net Zero, declared war on domestic fossil fuels, and let more heavy industry die. Britain has less room to manoeuvre today than it had in 2022.

It does not matter whether the pressure comes from Russia, China or America. The lesson is the same: the first duty of any government is to keep its citizens safe and the country secure.

And it begins with what the post Cold War era encouraged us to forget: productive force, secure energy, industrial capacity.

I’m on a Plan 2 student loan and the repayment threshold has been frozen into oblivion, just like income tax. Every year, without a vote or a headline, more of my income is quietly taken through fiscal drag and student loan repayments.

At the same time, the government finds endless money to raise pensions above inflation and to uprate benefits, but nothing for the people actually working and paying for all of this. It is a joke.

I am sick of being treated as a walking cash machine for an ever-growing population of the economically inactive.

So after paying for my uni tuition that the boomers got for free, I now have to pay tax on my pension contributions when the boomers didn't, just to make sure that the boomers get an even more generous state pension with their final salary pensions, of which I will get neither.

[Steve Loftus @LoftusSteve]

This is an astoundingly bad idea. It will deter pension saving in a country reliant on private pensions.

The ultimate in short term thinking.

[Simon Hunt @SimonHuntCityAM]

Have said this before but these analyses always exclude tuition fees, which are a de facto income tax for everyone but the richest graduates. My top rate of income tax is 55%, not 40%, and it will continue to be until I turn 55.

Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dipshit!

Never Forget.

When the USA was attacked.

Europe stood up and fought for our friends.

When Europe was threatened.

America sided with the aggressor.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Donald Trump claims that Ukraine started the war, just like all those American ships at Pearl Harbour that got in the way of those Japanese bombs

This is as painfully dumb as that.

This is a huge diplomatic blunder, with very little practical or political upside for the Government. The worst kind of student politics.
