By 2042 there will be roughly 2 workers for every pensioner in this country. Those 2 workers also have to fund the NHS, schools, police, defence, infrastructure, and their own lives. There is no tax rate, no policy, no political party that makes those numbers work without

🚨BREAKING: Keir Starmer jets off to Europe this morning to discuss the Treaty of Versailles 🚨

Jonathan Karl What could possibly go wrong ?

Next week, Keir Starmer is off to Wembley Stadium to help England win the 1966 World Cup.

I would implore people to subscribe and read the full piece. This graph is just the tip of the iceberg in how the British state has been rewired (by successive governments) to squeeze the working poor. spectator.com/article/benefi…

The welfare state isn’t a safety net anymore, it’s a parallel system with better perks. When dependency is consistently cheaper than self-reliance, the system doesn’t support people - it locks them in.

Is the state pension really so 'meagre'? Let's take a look... The basic state pension is just £12,547 a year. But... Only around 15% of pensioners rely on the state pension alone. The vast majority have other income from private pensions etc., which is exactly how our system is

This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it. The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed.

Again, who is the running the Government's political and communication's strategy. What genius decided to send out Rachel Reeves to boast about how much we're spending on defending Ukraine at precisely the moment she's rejecting calls to spend more on defending the UK.

Up there as one of the most marvellous TV political news interviews of all time...

Everyone says that we have a politician problem, but our politician problem is a manifestation of our electorate problem. As long as voters demand free stuff, MPs will try to give them what they want. Paywall down. telegraph.co.uk/gift/c7cd29980…

Rent controls. What could possibly go wrong.....

This is the single most genius diplomatic gesture I have ever seen.
