Absolutely mental policy. £400 for every household.
We had some of the highest savings ratios ever during the pandemic. Should've gone on those who actually need the cash ffs.
As an aside, should've abolished standard charges to reward those not burning loads of energy. Can dress it up as a green policy while reducing demand.
And pensioners will get upto £600 in December from their winter fuel allowance, so effectively giving some pensioners £1,000
It won't happen for defence, they don't like spending even borrowed money on that. The tories cut the attack submarine fleet from 7 to 5 this week retiring Trenchant and Talent.
100% true.
The Tories have long since stopped spending on Defence and Education. They have more or less given up on Pensions. I think this is interesting, because it has become increasingly hard to see what their (positive) distinctive economic policies might be.
The needs of the old vs the needs of the young. Certainly distinctive.
I haven't seen so much anger for a long time. I don't get usually get texts about politics. But today they're coming thick and fast. Has anyone seen this months Private Eye cover? Possibly the rudest ever. I have it on my mobile but I don't know how to show it here......
Clearly you have to live 5000 miles away under the absolute rule of of a Sheikh before this stuff rolls over you.
Tory MP John Baron who already withdrew support from Boris Johnson this morning is now calling on Rishi Sunak to increase the minimum wage ahead of inflation ⬆️ and scrap corporation tax rises to pay for it 💷
The council tax energy rebate of £150 did not go to 2nd home owners. Not sure how they are going to stop the grant through energy bills going to 2nd home owners though. Much as I would like it clearly isn't fair I should get it. Will be interesting to see if there is a plan for this.
Rishi gets very popular when he gives away lots of free money. The brief period where he stopped political gravity caught up with them. As a fiscal conservative I think this is a very bad idea in the long run.

Reddit is seething about this. Apparently some of the cops ran in, grabbed their own kids, and ran off. There is also an awful video of some parents getting together to rush the guy and the police stop them.
They claimed they successfully "contained" the suspect in a classroom. Well yeah - he then proceeded to shoot everyone in the room while they waited outside. DNA tests being done on the kids because the damage was so extensive.
American police are very quick to shoot you if you're a defenceless black man. Ongoing mass murder? Nah, health and safety checklist first.

A Tory government: printing trillions, borrowing 100s of billions, taxing at random, increasing taxes on employment, dishing devalued money at random out of helicopters, closing down the car industry, stealing from savers by -zero interest rates, stealing from the young by inflating asset prices, 42% marginal tax rate on graduate earners, no support for third children while birth rates plummet.

If there is anyone these days, American police generally are not quick to shoot, it is a black man. It's a sure way in many cities and states to losing your job and / or a criminal prosecution.
In this case, the actions of Police look appalling.

There another story going round that one of the cops called out for the kids to shout if they needed help - before they’d dealt with the shooter. One did, and was shot. Haven’t been able to check its veracity yet.
Note 40% of the town’s budget went on policing, including a 14 person SWAT team…

As we all know thanks to many Republicans whenever there is a mass shooting “if there was someone there with a gun this massacre wouldn’t have happened”. Shame the US police aren’t armed isn’t it.

There was a shooting in the UK a few years back, IIRC, in a tiny village/hamlet. The police stopped the ambulance/first aiders entering while people bled to to death, because the area wasn't "secure". Anyone remember the incident?

When the bus/underground bombings occurred in London, who was holding back who in the underground stations is somewhat... hazy. Even after the enquiries. But it happened there as well.

You do need some heavy duty transport for such. Used to be this sort of thing in general - see pics in this link - but the rules got changed to armoured wheeled vehicles.

Certainly distinctive.
Highly unlikely, but it’s Monaco. Worth a couple of quid.
edit
Everyone get £400 rebate against energy bills. If you're 'in need' then upto £650 extra too. Plus some extra bits and bobs.
Does the £650 go to everyone on UC etc or is it just some people who are?

According to officials:
- the shooter went in a classroom and locked the door
- police on scene left him in there
- when border patrol showed up they couldn’t break down the door
- after 40-60m they got a member of the school staff to unlock it with a key https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-44a7cfb990feaa6ffe482483df6e4683

Let’s be clear about what has just happened in Edinburgh:
Labour has seized control of the council with 13 of 63 councillors.
Only 11 of their own councillors voted in favour of this + 12 Lib Dems.
Why could this happen anyway?
Because Labour chose to give positions to Tories.

Things I have learned today... It is illegal to own more than six dildos in Texas. Guns though - buy as many as you want...
