Developer of things. I did leave twitter because I am too good for twitter. Probably woke and probably don’t give a toss if that bothers you. Website: johnspurgin.com

5 (Realistic) Policy Suggestions:

1. Bring in a tiny 2% wealth tax (= £24bn) 
2. Invest that in NHS, Schools and Rewilding
3. And avoid welfare cuts for the worst off
4. Get growth via investing in green economy (grew 10% last year)
5. End arms sales to Israel - it’s immoral. 

What did I miss?

The surge in support for Reform is making Labour nervous. Now it needs a plan | Andrew Rawnsley It will take more than some sharper attack lines to beat back the growing threat posed by Nigel Farage

There is an obvious plan to beat reform, but Labour have been paid not to do it.

👉 Tax the wealthy
👉 Invest in public infrastructure
👉 Stop demonising migrants
👉 Renationalise utilities, travel and health
👉 Media reform
👉 Lobbying reform
👉 Voting system reform

Thames Water may need £10bn investment to repair finances, high court hears Struggling company may require significantly more resources than roughly £6.3bn it previously indicated

Enough is enough.

Time to stop rewarding failure.

Share holders have taken £2,800,000,000 in 11 years.

Now they ask for £10,000,000,000 from us?

No. Renationalise Thames water. Now.

U.S. Senate: Constitution of the United States Constitution of the United States

Go read the US Constitution it is only 4,543 words long.

In it you will see the President isn't meant to have any powers at all, he exists to direct Congress and the Senate.

Executive Orders are not in the Constitution because they shouldn't exist.

Earl Spencer's prep school becomes latest victim of Labour's VAT raid on fees as it announces it will close in July after being 'adversely affected by external factors

Charles Spencer detailed his abuse at his prep school Maidwell Hall in his recent book and that led to a police inquiry which has now caused the school - which was long operating at a loss - to close.

The Conservative press, naturally, blame it all on Starmer. And VAT.
