A tweet from Conor Rogers reads: “I mean this nicely: 75% of people have no idea what this says.” Below it, a retweeted post from Mark D. Levine says: “Every person in American politics should be forced to look at this map.” The image shows a U.S. map titled “The US Economy Split In Two.” Most of the country is shaded red, with small blue areas around major cities, and a circular key showing GDP split 50/50 between the red and blue regions, illustrating that half of the U.S. economy comes from a few dense metro areas.

I fear he’s correct.

If the ‘atmosphere’ in betting shops is its main benefit its not a reason not to tax it! its like saying opium dens made people feel better! So does cocaine/cannabis/ etc. apparently. Staff will get jobs elsewhere

and which other party leader has a gap in their teeth 🤔

also if we are talking about looks Clarkson needs to take a look in the mirror…

This is what the 25th Amendment is for.

and we thought this wasn’t going to happen?

yep

they probably ‘get more from the state’ because they don’t earn enough to pay tax - which is a reflection of both low wages and a misunderstanding about how the economy works. But there you go - don’t worry about the vulnerable - until something happens to you

I've decided to stop trusting experts.

Really looking forward to my forthcoming surgery being carried out by my mate Dave.
He's not an expert surgeon, but he is quite good with a chainsaw and has watched several series of House.

Who needs experts?

Number crunching: council tax hikes

From the new Private Eye, out now.

lobbying really should be illegal

what an awful human being carole malone is 🙁

Thank you to @scotnational.bsky.social for picking this up and putting it on their front page

Kinnock is one of the finest proponents of progressive thought in this country and the best prime minister we never had.

we seem to learn nothing from these bubbles - mysterious financial ‘products/currencies’ that offer unbelievable wealth opportunities - but carry on putting money into things we don’t understand. greed persists while everything else burns…

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

exactly - sadly because of the power of US whoever is president could have used that financial power to end it. Similarly - they could give Ukraine the means to repel Putin.

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well."
An estimated 20,000 children have died in the war in Gaza.

A huge relief to see the Israeli hostages released and the joy on family faces. But the fact that Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of their relatives, posting on social media or giving interviews - most held without charge - tells us how much there is to go.

it really is - can’t bear to watch it - it’s like some kind of show - wonder if we’ll know what the deal between them was🤔

Photo saying: Nigel Farage has raked in over £1 MILLION from outside “work” since the General Election. That’s way more than any other MP - and twice as much as the next highest, the super-rich Rishi Sunak. So much for being a man of the people. As I’ve long said: ban ALL MPs’ second jobs.

what has happened in Gaza was always (and only) in the hands of the US govt (Biden and Trump). It could and should have been ended much sooner and avoided the loss of countless thousands of mostly Palestinians. Meanwhile in Sudan…

THE LONDON ECONOMIC "We should all be angry that we had 14 years of Tory austerity. They shut our libraries, they shut our community centres. And then to say integration is a problem - how do you expect people to integrate if you've taken away their services?" -ZACK POLANSKI, GREEN PARTY LEADER

Quote: I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember this too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick. Stewart Lee

because there will be no consequences for him

listening to Radical on R4 which sounded radical when explaining why we need to embrace immigration because of climate change but not discussing over all world population which has increased in proportion to the decline in wildlife and biodiversity 🤦🏼‍♀️ - I am not the only one who is saying this

it makes him ignorant!!
