So odd how we're not calling years of below-inflation pay rises "quiet paycutting"
'Quiet quitting' could be hitting the economy - here's why bbc.in/4ijTORZ

Leek and Potato soup Β£1.50? no not a tin, freshly prepared in the House of Commons!
Baked jacket potato Β£1.50 with cheese an extra Β£1.
Why don't they cut their own benefits? they are quick enough to try and target the sick, disabled and elderly.

At the Budget, the Government introduced a higher tax on bank mega-profits to help fund support for people's energy bills.
Last night, Reform MPs voted AGAINST it.
Remember that the next time they claim to be on the side of ordinary people.

The fact that Liz Truss was at Mar a Largo last night when the midterm results started coming in rather poetic. Literally everything she attaches herself to turns to absolute shite almost immediately.πππ

Imagine if Elon's $500 million had been spent on education or healthcare. Or the arts. Anything.

If like to hear less about cutting benefits and much more about PPE fraud and tax evasion please.

Perhaps β and hear me out here β if you can afford to lose $474 million while trying to buy the midterm elections, you can afford to pay your fair share in taxes.

Wait, let me make sure I've got this right. NYC Mayor Mamdani taxed wealthy people on second homes they don't live in, the city's budget got balanced, the rich are still rich, and ordinary New Yorkers didn't get hit with a broad tax increase? That's really all it took?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NYC FY2027 budget balance used agency savings, $4B+ state aid/authorizations (incl. pension restructuring saving $1.64B), and $500M projected from pied-Γ -terre tax on luxury second homesβnot primarily that tax.
