Time to post my biannual “how artificially compressed are British wages”.
Rising minimum wage and a 50k+ p/a tax bracket that runs to 40% of earnings, and hasn’t adjusted for inflation. This form of artificial wage compression has turned everyone in Britain into low productivity tax cattle - you have zero incentive to become anything other here.
This is also a form of ambition and productivity compression.

Artem was just 12. He was in the park in the Kharkiv region when russians hit it.
For an entire week, doctors at Kyiv’s Ohmatdyt Hospital fought to save his life. Yesterday, Artem died 🕯️

Wealth has to be created before it can be redistributed. Politics tends to skip that chapter.

How far is the "distance" ? Are they resigning from the Party, or merely calling for Polanski to either commit to a clear out or go himself ?
Dozens of Green councillors distance themselves from Zionism policy following Labour ultimatum

A local Gurkha family take over empty premises to open a shop and invite Shrewsbury's Mayor along to do the honours. The response from the local branch of the Reform Party? A slew of racial slurs. Excellent response from the local Lib Dems.

I feel like Jared Kushner being at the center of the plot that ultimately led to an American journalist being dismembered via bone saw while he was still alive should be a much bigger deal than our billionaire owned news media is making of it.

I do ponder what my former colleagues at the moderate end of Green Party are now thinking. I know some were far more left-wing than me but saw the sense in being pragmatic so as not to scare the public, others keep their heads down doing local stuff but surely some think WTF??!!!

Carer’s allowance cliff edge rule to be scrapped - this is welcome news and something the @LibDems have been pushing for in Parliament. Unpaid carers should never have been hounded over these overpayments and this scandal should never have been allowed to happen.

The most disturbing line in this apologism for the Zionism is Racism motion is when Green Party councillor @AlexiDimond speaks of "weaponisation of October the 7th".
The implication is that the atrocities committed by Hamas that day could somehow be justified. Otherwise, what would the "non-weaponised" version look like?
The Green Party has a fatal blind spot when it comes to recognising and acknowledging the magnitude of horror unleashed on 7 October. That is not to deny the war crimes subsequently committed by Israel and Netanyahu.
But the modern day Green Party seems to completely ignore the totalitarian character of Islamism and how, if Islamists had their way, Israel would simply cease to exist.
Do Greens have nothing to say about this existential threat to Jews and their homeland? Their Zionism is Racism motion helps to vindicate that extermination project. That's why I've called them the new useful idiots.
God forbid they are doing so knowingly instead. When they double down like this it's difficult for them to plead ignorance of antisemitic consequences.

Yet another @LibDems policy win. Great to see the lives of a really marginalised and isolated group get a little easier
