really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Itโs not just charlatans like Farage, deliberately spreading misinformation to inflame tensions
Itโs Starmerโs โisland of strangersโ speech. Theresa Mayโs โgo homeโ vans
Itโs every politician who has taken up โstop the boatsโ as a campaign slogan
This is where itโs led us. And it has to end here.

The Great VAT Panic
Or how not to run a campaign
"The number of private schools [in the UK] has actually increased from 2,421 to 2,456" since VAT was put on their fees.
No calamitous shift of pupils from private schools to state schools, either. In other words, the scare mongering from vested interests was wrong

Brexit has been a success. Labour are slowly killing it
During the long years of EU membership, our political establishment forgot how to run the country
This is absolutely bonkers from Frost. Absolutely no one believes this. Brexit has been a complete disaster for our economy, for business and for our global standing.
It's about time we reversed the whole thing.

The U.S. Census Bureau is mandated by the Constitution to count every person living in the USA every ten years, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status.
No President has the power to change who is counted, or when, nor to substitute an alternative count for apportionment.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.
