- This VE Day is not a reason to celebrate. It should all be about noting lessons not learned. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

- If he broke the stupid link that means that electricity prices are set on the price of gas generation instead of the actual price of sustainable electrical energy, then everyone would see bills go down. No postcode lottery.

- Has the myth of Trump been shattered? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...
- Seems that all Farage’s trips to US had an actual purpose. Clacton to all intents and purposes is - in the words of one local "about to become the 51st state" of America. Incredible story bylinetimes.com/2025/04/01/f...

- It even looks fairly easy to do immediately, no messing around trying to value their hidden assets.
- Good alternative to raise money without actually trying to measure someone's wealth. youtu.be/a62d-hA5cCE?...

- The result of the Government investigation into the Heathrow shutdown is now out. I would like to thank this MP for saving us the costs and time for a lengthy investigation, particularly as he is so busy with his duties in Clacton.

- I don’t know how you manage to keep a straight face on BBC Politics Live. Keep fighting the good fight 😁.

- Is the state really as inefficient as people claim? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...
- Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
- One is a TV star-turned-hero of the free world. One is a Putin-appeasing orange shitclown who should be in prison. #TeamZelensky
- It looked like a used car dealer and a double glazing salesman from the 1970s intimidating a customer for an order. Worst episode of The Apprentice ever.

- I wonder what Liz Truss would have replied with if asked during her short time as PM. Would crashing the economy be one of her bullet points?

- Apart from the Tartan Tories does anyone in Scotland listen to him or support him? I sincerely hope not.
- So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.
- Why is an anti EU, anti-immigration, English National Party gaining any traction in Scotland? Is it just the tartan Tories who are turning to him?
- Badenoch’s views are poisonous www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

- They are her own made up fiscal rules, meaningless and pointless. It's painful watching her ignore the obvious answers to improving the economy. Others in the cabinet must know this. Time for a cabinet revolt.

- Balance the books!! There are no books, the UK is not a household economy!! You have the levers of financial power to improve the economy, use them FFS. Try a wealth tax, try reading up MMT.

- So glad dry January is over. Good luck.
- I'd love to see a proper analysis of how we're going to find the people to build the third runway at Heathrow, several new reservoirs, 1.5 million houses and various other new infrastructure without mass imigration.

- Perhaps that £100m can now be used to buy the Reform UK Ltd company and President Musk can install whoever he wants as CEO/MD. Yaxley/Lennon/Robinson?
- PMQs, is there any point to this televised theater or is it just to feed the media circus? I have asked questions of a PM via writing to my MP and a few weeks later I get a written answer. The ‘serious’ stuff is at the Select Committees. Should we ditch PMQs? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

- Not my usual topic and a bit of a punt. I am trying to find the name of the pub my aunt, Carrie Bentley, and her husband owned in Leigh-on Sea in the late 1960s and early 1970s. None of my relatives can remember. karinavadioandhertz.blogspot.com/2024/12/tryi...
