UK public services could face 11% cuts to fund defence spending. This to appease Trump, will hurt the less well-off. How about cutting corporate subsidies, taxing the rich, creating new money, chasing tax dodgers, ending profiteering, windfall taxes? archive.ph/wr0zC

UK Supreme Court judges reject Reeves’ motor finance intervention. Banks face a possible £44bn compensation bill for mis-selling car loans. Govt sought to scupper it claiming this would disrupt markets and its growth strategy. Misguided intervention. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

HMRC ditches crackdown on private equity tax. Who will bear the cost of appeasing PE. Govts listen to donors, finance industry, developers and the rich. The rest got two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment, frozen personal allowance. archive.ph/BjU9b

NET ZERO - oh look another energy bill rise! Instead of burning £22 BILLION on carbon capture bollocks, we could have built enough gas storage to take the UK through the entire winter at summer price lows! We didn’t. Now we have the most expensive energy in the world 🤡
