Pete left a comment.
He thinks there are only two options ... tax the rich or cut benefits.
I think he's missing the third camp entirely.
And it's the one that actually solves the problem.

Margaret Thatcher died on this day in 2013. She's seen as someone who transformed Britain according to her vision.
Did she? Or was that vision always too flawed?
I wrote this two days after she died. I wouldn't change it.

Good morning Leg’ends,
I’m on to my third cup of tea and, judging by the ashtray, my third rollie as well, which feels about right for a Wednesday morning in Britain.

Operation SPAN was sold as a success. But if Amber was treated as a victim, then allegedly used as a co-conspirator to force testimony, that is not justice.
How can this be called a win if the victim became a legal tool?

"One senior African negotiator, speaking on condition of anonymity, reacted furiously to the suggestion the UK could open new fields. Africa would “reject any proposal for the UK to expand oil drilling” as such a move would be “fundamentally inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the […]
It seems to me the Green Party are the big winners in the Iranian fiasco
As the key political supporters of renewables they can say clearly:
'We are different to the others. With us energy prices will be in our hands - not trump's'

It’s all connected. Blair, billionaire money, Big Tech and lobby power keep circling Starmer. He looks less like he serves Britain, more like elite interests.
Who is he serving?

Dithering in a crisis again....
"“Britain cannot have any credibility in the world stage if it allows Donald Trump to use UK military bases for what is very clearly a threat of war crimes.” The MP added that many other MPs were nervous about the UK’s position." […]
hago 1816 85T Early evening summary Keir Starmer has been urged to stop allowing the US to use British military bases in the light of Donald Trump’s threat to attack power stations and bridges and to destroy Iranian civilisation. No 10 has said the the UK is only allowing American bombers to set off from British soil for missions with a “defensive” purpose, targeting missile sites. (See 1.07pm.) But the Liberal Democrats and the Greens have have said that Starmer needs to go much further. (See 2.22pm and 2.29pm.) Even Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, who has said he would allow UK bases to be used for US attacks provided Trump could explain the strategy (see 2.55pm), has said that Trump’s most recent anti-Iran diatribe went too far (see 4.24pm). Trump is now being reviled by his opponents in the US for his threats, which are sounding at once grotesque, unhinged and absurd.
Starmer is a weak man who is not rising to the moment.
"grotesque, unhinged and absurd."

RE: mastodon.scot/@ScottishGreens/11636485...
Has Labour called out Trump's genocide rhetoric yet?
Even Farage has managed a squeak of disapproval.
Where is the leadership? Are we to believe he's been on the phone to Washington all day talking the Paedo out of it?
#UKPol […]
Trump’s attack on Starmer is landing because it sounds like more than a swipe it sounds like a deliberate attempt to brand the British PM as weak at a moment of war tension and alliance stress.

2hago 15.4385T US lawmakers slam Trump social media post saying that a ‘whole civilization will die tonight’ Reporter Shrai Popat Chuck Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, has called Donald Trump an “extremely sick person” in response to the president’s recent post on Truth Social - in which he said “a whole civilization will tonight” if Iran fails to meet his 8pm ET deadline to reopen the strait of Hormuz. “Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is,” Schumer added. Other Democrats have slammed Trump’s most recent comments, hours before he promises to follow through on his threat to target civilian infrastructure and power plants in Iran. Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator who sits on the foreign relations committee, said that Trump’s plan is to “murder thousands of innocent Iranians and hope for a civil war that somehow ends up with the strait of Hormuz reopening”. Murphy also highlighted the global energy crisis that has spiralled since the war began and oil prices spiked. For more live coverage of US politics, follow along here.
It's 17:33 BST and the British Prime Minister still has not condemned the insane words of the Mad King in Washington. Even Nigel Farage has said his buddy has "gone too far"
What's the delay?
