Trafford would never

If only I could live with a fraction of the freedom of Curtis Jones playing at right back in a suffocatingly tight away derby #LFC

This is what worries me too. Can't take a step back.

Yeah in part he's been bodied by the headline writers' need for rage bait, and the classic 'two things can be true' problem with social media.

To clarify: you'd be stunned at how little most ntl tax authorities, all over the world, understand about the methods rich people use to avoid taxation (without breaking the law) or to evade taxation (breaking the law, but in ways that are very costly to prove).
It's a real David & Goliath sitch.

Me and Milly agree on this one - Yorkshire Tea. But pricey though 😬

Decaf for the win 💪🏻

Revenge is an understandable impulse that we must never give in to and act upon. Accountability, justice, a reckoning even: yes. Revenge: never

I'm a bit worried about the captain. Will he return to his best with a better structure in front of him? Given his tendency to drop 5-10yds back when facing pace, how do we defend attacking pace now in a way that doesn't create holes in midfield?

Yeah I'd like to think it's 50-50

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

So you'd tax poor workers to give them money? How much is that rigmarole gonna cost? What a waste of resources. May as well just tax excessive wealth

The reason you don't do this is because loads of working people are poor. Most working people do not have a lot of disposable income right now. You focus on the 1% who derive most of their wealth from assets, not earned income.

Totally agree

It's gone wild because Liverpool reacted extremely badly to adversity (as ever this season) and then started thinking about Wednesday.

It's the resignation from the team this season once we hit a bit of adversity that's hard to stomach

Did Semenyo not just decide to sign for City?

I think the left haven't won more elections mainly due to media regulation failure and the voting system. Somehow the greens are cutting through, despite this!

I think perhaps the population are tiring of being told they are centre right. They are increasingly voting for an alternative to the centre

The pragmatism of successive governments has meant only one thing: greater inequality. So I'm so tired of being urged to be pragmatic while a whopping 23% of the wealth goes to 1% of the population, whilst the poorest have to depend on food banks and ask for energy subsidies to survive.

I get that you (and the OP, in his way) are urging the left to be pragmatic. But my entire adult life, wealth inequality has only ever grown. The absurdity - of talking about whether the UK can afford to save lives, when 23% of its wealth is hoarded by 1% of its population - is overwhelming.

There is a group of people who hold 1% of the UK's potential votes and 23% of the UK's wealth. If you believe that people's policy preferences reflect self interest, a redistributive wealth tax on that 1% should be popular with the other 99%

The top 1% own 23% of the UK's wealth. You can tell me what is happening with that 23% but I'd bet that almost none of it is spent on subsistence food, heat, electricity, etc. for its owners. The gov should redistribute that wealth, even more urgently in crisis times.

Not sure how much I care about it. Obvs would like Curtis to get the recognition, but England has become a loveless relationship for me. I watch out of some weird sense of obligation, but not because I enjoy them as a team

this platform was built by trans people and for all its flaws I am very glad that it’s one of the few places left that is still willing to tell the world to fuck off when it tries to destroy them

let’s keep it that way

Does it work properly? No.
Are the people making it acting in good faith? No.
Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No.
Does it make people's lives better? No.
Will it make people's lives better? No.
Is it profitable? No.
Is it popular? No.
Is it harmless? No.

How to counter the far right's constant fire hose of lies with impeccably reasoned argument

Well the academics thought that was a dumb PR move to 'sell' the project to the public, so *shrug*

I know some academics who specialise in assessing this kind of project and years ago they told me the exact same thing. HS2 makes sense because it adds capacity, not speed. Like motorways have 3 lanes, not just a higher speed limit?
