The most elegant distillation of the rot at the heart of British society is the comments section of an article about the £2 bus fare cap being full of pensioners (who already get free bus travel) asking ‘anything for pensioners?’
Right wingers are the most traumatically stupid people in existence. You voted for and enthusiastically campaigned for all of this Allison! For decades!

Farage is desperately trying to sabotage Britain's recovery.
Reform tried to block some genuinely transformative laws. The polls would look very different if we talked about this more.
5 examples:
A lot of countries basically are caught in a trap from which there is no escape.
1) They have a lot of old people. They need healthcare, pensions, etc. This is *incredibly* expensive.
2) More old people means less tax money, more tax burden on the increasingly few working people and families.
3) You either a) sacrifice all other public services to keep the old person money pipe flowing, b) cut benefits to old people, or c) increase immigration.
4) You get voted out because all of these are immensely unpopular.
You can try to increase productivity or growth... by this is hard, and many of the ways it can be done (like deregulation, building liberalization, and capital investment) are also expensive and politically unpopular.

Reading into the anticipation around Naples ahead of Napoli’s first title in 33 years has reminded me of this video featuring Diego Maradona and his teammates singing perhaps the most catchy football song of all-time when he won it with them in 1987.
Southgate saying Abraham has missed out purely because he lost form at the wrong time is pretty laughable really, considering he's taking Maguire over Tomori.
This is Tory MP, David Davis…
One of the bastions of Brexit

Our NHS that he now says can only be saved by privatisation.
Johnson completely destroyed any claim the Conservatives could lay to probity, ‘family values’ or law & order.
Truss & Kwarteng have torched any claim to fiscal responsibility.
It’s hard to see what’s left.
EXCL: Liz Truss chief of staff is being paid his salary via his lobbying firm and is only "seconded" to No10 in arrangement he won't explain
