This is essentially cosplay isn't it? Three people cosplaying 1930s British Union of Fascists members, their dads, and their mate who got his dates mixed up and thought it was the weekend they dressed up as The Stranglers.
Question for political gamblers... Is there any platform where I can place a bet on which Cabinet Member(s) Kier Starmer throws under the bus first in a desperate attempt to cling on to his job for a few more months? #labourarefucked
I have a BA and an MA in Politics, I've taught it for more than a decade & I'm obsessively interested in it.
After almost two years of Labour government, I have absolutely no idea what their pitch to the electorate is.
@JamesEvansMS It is not broken, and it is so deeply insulting to all of us who go out to work, who set up and run businesses, who help out at charities to say that it is.
Politics is broken and Farage is helping to break it.
@DHucks6 20% of the cost of cigarettes, if that, kids don't have twenty quid for a packet of fags. Ten to fifteen years ago they'd have been puffing a Mayfair Gold behind the bike sheds.
I can't remember a time a budget has made me progressively more grumpy day-on-day over a period of several days like this one. How can you increase the tax burden on normal working people so substantially without committing to anything which can be classed as reformative or having any sort of coherent plan for growth beyond (paraphrased) "I'm crossing my fingers that the OBR growth forecasts are wrong"
'Median income' is a little misleading as it excludes dividend income so is essentially 'median PAYE salary'. Most business owners will pay themselves primarily with dividends. And this includes landlords who purchase property though a Ltd company. Triple lock is the ticking time bomb.

Thrilled to have published my first book 'Old Pontefract' through Stenlake, this project has been a labour of love for the past few years and utilises some of my many hundreds of Pontefract postcards.
I've developed a newfound appreciation for the time, energy and patience required when publishing traditionally!
The book will, at some stage, be stocked by a retailer in #Pontefract, and a couple of copies are on the way to to Ponte library, at the moment the most efficient way of obtaining a copy is via the Waterstones website or direct from the publisher at https://t.co/bSlcoYFtz6 (Amazon don't have their stock yet)
