Stamp duty revenue is expected to rise steadily to Β£26.5billion by 2029-30. Abolition, as proposed by the Tories, would take those funds away from public services - probably without saving house buyers any money as house prices rise.

I've always been glued to the window, trying to identify which part of the planet is unfurling below, transfixed by the beauty of clouds, or simply thrilled to be flying. I pity anyone for whom flight has become a dull, everyday experience. (I used to earn a living as a balloon pilot).

The police don't need *more* powers to make peaceful
protest criminal. They need *sensible* lawmaking - laws that are actually enforceable without regular mass arrest. There is a currently a crisis of legitimacy in policing, and mass arrest of grannies and vicars for holding placards isn't helping.

I'm so relieved to see these people arrested for malicious communication.
The photo of Trump with Epstein projected on to Windsor Castle was indecent and grossly offensive.
It was clearly displayed in order to cause me anxiety and distress. I can only hope no one else suffered harm like this.

Heβs told Starmer not to rejoin anything. He hasnβt.
He advised Starmer to grovel to Trump. He did.
Heβs a friend of Putinβs tame oligarchs. He advised Ukraine should commit to ceasefire before Russia
He took Starmer to visit Palantir clients of his company Global Counsel.

βWorse than the Toriesβ: cultural figures question Labour plans for arts in schools
Government must scrap English baccalaureate to make arts more accessible to working-class children, critics say
When the imagination is discarded the results are people like dead-eyed Keir Starmer and robotic Rachel Reeves.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has Β£3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of Β£10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.

Our children and grandchildren need to be back in the EU. I hate the tories, they trashed the UK. The NHS needs us to help save it. LGBT+ Friendly. Trump and musk are a world problem and must be defeated.
