Just seen online that Spain has extended free travel schemes for the whole of 2023 and put pensions up just over 8%. Because they are charging the rich extra tax, the money goes back in the pot. Why can't UK do this?
Full marks for the tax U-turn! No marks for the lack of empathy with the ordinary working people!
Why? Because, in the climb-down Kwasi Kwarteng said it was clear the 45p tax rate had become a ‘distraction’! That’s the problem. It was never a ‘distraction’, it was a disgrace.
The judge who green-lighted Assange's extradition to US is a 40-year 'good friend' of the minister who orchestrated his arrest.
Imagine effect if this revelation had appeared in the Guardian or the Times. Mainstream media is complicit in his torture.

12 years of Tory government has left us with low wages, a cost-of-living emergency and an NHS crisis.
Changing one Tory PM for another isn't the change people need.
Let's fight for:
◾ A Wealth Tax on the super-rich
◾ Energy under public ownership
◾ £15 per hour minimum wage
Tonight I'm delivering a petition in Parliament signed by over 65,000 people. It is based on this key principle: energy giants should not be allowed to make a single penny in excess profits off the back of higher energy bills for millions of ordinary people.
Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 74% of the new cabinet are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society. We'll hear a lot about diversity over the coming few days but diversity which doesn't account for social class is meaningless
The first act of Liz Truss’ premiership should be taking immediate action to tackle the cost of living crisis that is pushing millions into poverty — this must be a wealth tax and bringing energy companies, water, mail and rail into public ownership.
When you live in a country where the six richest people control as much wealth as poorest 13 million, but you choose to be angry at workers striking because they’re living costs are higher than their wages, you’re thinking in interests of those six, not the 13 million.
This week in @UKParliament I spoke about
bringing the headquarters of Great British Railways to
our city.
