Got to stick with the Fiscal Rules. Hearing Raynor say she's happy with the amount the rich pay was a surprise.

If they ditch the digital services tax in a trade off with the US it'll be disappointing. Potentialy letting X off the hook whilst kids are in poverty sticks in the throat some what. Still it's weighed up with what do we get in return I guess.

Labour haven't been left enough to tax the rich for a long time. They're just more to the left than the tories.

Why the **** are they wearing masks? Have they got FSB advisors now?

Oooh look, the land of free speech does have "hate speech" laws after all. So much freedumb

It’s Now a Hate Crime to Vandalize Teslas in DC

A splashy manhunt over anti-Musk graffiti shows just how far the capital will go to placate the Trump administration.

Of course, vandalism is a crime - but... it's vandalism, not a hate crime... and Tesla ownership isn't a protected characteristic...

But I'm sure the Trump defenders have excuses lined up and will happily defend the lies, criminality, incompetence and complete lack of any sort of shame or accountability.

The news cycle will just move on. It's now cars and 25% tariffs. Most likely they are going to shaft Reeves plans.

They simply don't care and half of the American public don't either. They can eat themselves as far as I care, you reap what you sow.

Yes the Dems are trying to make a bit of a fuss but that's it. Accountability is great, if there was anyone left to hold them to account.

it's not like anyone here is falling over themselves to criticsie Erdoğan let alone Trump.

Also at this stage, who is going to lead the prosecution? Who has responsibility for this, the Attorney General? I know in theory either house could investigate if they wanted to, but they are Republican controlled.

That's probably why strumpet moved his tariff announcement forward. It was all supposed to come to a head next week.
