@grahamdavid.bsky.socialThe Renters’ Rights Act has made the best move for every landlord, even the decent ones, the worst outcome for tenants.
Not greed but business reaction to ill-balanced law.

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialDiesel hits £2 a litre.
The government’s answer: compare prices on Google Maps. Their estimated saving: £40 a year.
The tax on a £100 fill-up: about £43.
Fair play, they’ve delivered.

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialLabour: "free personal care".
Paid for by taxpayers, by slowing pension rises, from a Parliament not yet elected, with no published costings.
Free is doing a lot of work there. What did I miss?

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialLabour says unearned wealth is unfair.
Apply that test to Labour's own funding and see how it holds up.

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialBurnham's favourite word right now is "consensus".
But there is no agreement at all .. this is the Hard Left doing what it wants to the UK

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialA backbench MP needs just five years to build a pension nearly as big as the state pension pays out after a lifetime of work.
And now Burnham is going to scrap the triple lock.

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialGovernment Complacency is at record levels!
James Murray announced the policy ...fine.
Ask him what it costs, and watch him fall apart on camera, four times.

@grahamdavid.bsky.social500 jobs going at Admiral, and a government minister is "deeply disappointed."
What did he think would happen when Labour made employing people this expensive?

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialTax Wealth not Income!
If rates for Capital Gains are raised HMRC's own modelling suggest they will take LESS money!
For Labour, ideology is more important than practical measures.

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialDoes Andrew Burnham genuinely believe the people of the UK want him?
@grahamdavid.bsky.socialDoes Britain need a Ministry of Truth?
Our (unelected) PM just announced a new agency to manage "disinformation" ...
...this should worry anyone who can think for themselves.

@grahamdavid.bsky.social"Dark blizzard of disinformation."
Sadiq Khan's words.
But what's the actual difference between disinformation and just... disagreeing with him?

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialONS says wages are up 3.5%.
After inflation it's 0.6%.

@grahamdavid.bsky.socialLot's of Extra cash borrowed.
Lot's of Extra cash confiscated in tax.
And what have we got for that money?
Now they're briefing us that they might need to raise taxes AGAIN.
What if instead we ...spend less?
@grahamdavid.bsky.socialTaxpayers get threats described as "contribution".
Benefit recipients get to wonder what's in the stocking this year.
Cannot wait for Budget Day...
