Either Reform UK knew councils would need tax rises and promised cuts anyway, or they just didn’t understand how local government finances work. Neither explanation fits the image of a party Nigel Farage says will run things better than everyone else.

Rishi Sunak urging Keir Starmer to use AI to fix Britain’s low productivity is ironic, given 14 years of Tory austerity caused the low productivity. Austerity weakened human capital through education cuts, and the same people hit hardest by austerity will be hit hardest by AI.
The rise of the far right isn’t happening in a vacuum, it’s being fuelled by the very technologies controlled by a handful of billionaires. Elon Musk has updated the formula on Twitter: viral outrage travels faster than facts, meaning this formula will fuel extremism.
People like Charlie Mullins think taxes don’t benefit them. But in reality they do, because STABILITY, the very thing that protects their wealth, is paid for through taxes. Taxes fund our institutions, public services & reduce inequality, keeping the country STABLE. #r4today
We monetise water, energy, housing, education, transport. Healthcare next. Even patriotism gets monetised. Now they want to monetise you, reduced to data points, sold for profit. This isn’t a country. It’s a marketplace run by corporations. #r4today #BBCBreakfast #GMB #Skynews
So, wealthy British tax avoiders are fleeing Dubai. Money saved on taxes is useless in a place without stability. In the UK, taxes are high, but they fund the nation’s stability. They pay for our institutions, public services, & infrastructure, & help reduce inequality. #r4today
Nigel Farage wants to end working from home & work–life balance, but who benefits? When you add more hours at the office, you don’t magically create more time. Something has to give: sleep gets cut, household chores get delayed, family time disappears. #r4today #BBCBreakfast
So Trump starts a war with Iran, then lifts sanctions on Russian oil to calm prices, handing Putin more money to attack Ukraine, giving Europe an even bigger headache. Trump doesn’t get why Europe has to focus on the Ukraine war, especially after he’s the one who made it worse. #r4today
Money saved on taxes is useless in a place without stability. Why don’t tax dodgers get it? The UK’s high taxes fund its stability. These taxes pay for the institutions, public services and infrastructure that keep the country running and help reduce inequality. #r4today
Trump’s war on Iran has no legal justification, no clear objectives, and no credible post-war strategy. In fact, it could accelerate Iran’s nuclear ambitions and inflame regional tensions. Above all, Trump’s unpredictability makes him unreliable for this war. #PoliticsLive
If ordinary people don’t pay their taxes, no mercy. They’re punished immediately. The real scandal is not that one politician underpaid council tax on a houseboat. It is that big corporations avoid tax all the time but face no punishment. #r4today #BBCBreakfast #GMB #skynews

Q: What was it that made you break with Trump? Trump voter: Just seeing the lies. He put us in a war. He's putting up gold statues of himself. When are people going to wake up? All those stupid rallies I went to... I got rid of my Make America Great Again hat. I can't even believe I wore that hat.

The most troubling aspect of this is that you’re learning about it here on social media - and NOT in the “news.” Please folks, spread this FAR & WIDE. EVERY THINKING AMERICAN should B OUTRAGED at this INSANITY. The integration of our military in this way, with ANY foreign nation is simply WRONG.
Budgets reveal values. Mark Carney's budget demands sacrifices from working families—by slashing services and cutting frontline jobs—while giving the ultra-wealthy a tax break on luxury yachts and private jets. What value(s) does that represent?
