donβt mention this to modern Thatcherites but the tax rises at the start of the Thatcher period were bigger - proportionately - than Labourβs October 2024 Budget
yes Mrs T cut taxes but only after increasing them massively

Itβs so good. And if you have more time for reading, then Gareth Brown (SG civil servant and brilliant bloke) has written a stunning debut novel - the Book of Doors. My top book of 2024.

@bbclaurak.bsky.social come on! How could you let that lying, dishonest, corrupt, disingenuous self-serving Farage go unchallenged? And why even have him on? Youβre a disgrace to journalism and should be sacked and off to GB News where your loyalties clearly lie. Appalling.

This is important & necessary. Iβd add only that a) Itβs clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssbergβs failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.

Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country
