Victoria Derbyshire, "One of your policies that wouldn't hit most people is a wealth tax, 1% on those with £10m+"
Zack Polanski, "Patriotic Millionaires say between £15-25 billion a year"
Victoria Derbyshire, "Wealth taxes have happened in other countries.. Spain have raised £2.5 billion, that's such a long way away from your £25 billion"
Zack Polanski, "It's about getting the thresholds right and making sure it's done right"
Victoria Derbyshire, "Spain's is similar to yours"
Zack Polanski, "Sure, but we're a different country with an incredible amount of wealth in the city of London"
Victoria Derbyshire, "Switzerland raised €9.5 billion, Norway €2.7 billion. Paul Johnson formerly IFS said no country has ever had a wealth tax that raised serious money"
Zack Polanski, "Those are legitimate questions, and those aren't tiny sums of money"
"It's ultimately about reducing inequality, we can do that anyway"
"This isn't about creating public investment it's about reducing inequality"
"In terms of Paul Johnson and the IFS, they're working to maintain the status quo. And the status quo economy is not working for almost anyone unless you're in the top 1%"
Victoria Derbyshire, "Don't you think the IFS are independent?"
Zack Polanski, "They are independent, some reports this week about their connection with Barclays. I think it's legitimate to question any economist"

The UK has one of the highest retirement ages in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, some of the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest.
It all needs to change.

Absolutely love that people are kicking off that Keir Starmer’s gone in a box at Arsenal - as if the Tories weren’t shagging each other at Christmas parties whilst our Grandparents died alone in hospitals during Covid.
"For security reasons I can't go in the stands... it's as simple as that"
PM Keir Starmer defends his decision to accept corporate hospitality at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium

1. He’s Irish.
2. Even if he was English, not everyone is a royalist.
3. Patriotism is not defined on whether you sing a national anthem.
4. The Daily Mail, supporters of Hitler & Mussolini in the 1930s, really ought to sit this one out.
5. Only results will judge Carlsey
Lee Carsley should be sacked by the FA today. His refusal to sing the national anthem is a betrayal and he's not fit to be England manager, writes JEFF POWELL trib.al/63JPxbp

Tolkien SPECIFICALLY wrote the orcs to be irredeemably evil, they are born from evil to serve evil. Trying to make them out to be a marginalized group is beyond stupid
This is like spitting on Tolkien's writing and legacy
Orcs just want a safe place to raise their kids, be evil, and practice their corrupted form of life in peace.

Lady with wavy hair, "I'm sat here and I'm baffled that you (Andrew Mitchell) can talk about serious youth violence as if your party is not directly responsible for services being stripped to their bones"
"Grassroots organisations are on their knees. They're supporting vulnerable young people"
"Until you acknowledge that we need proper intervention into early intervention services, police need a working definition of child criminal exploitation, young people need to be treated as the victims that they are; not further criminalised, further harmed and pushed to the edges of society"
"At best your party has been incompetent. At worst you have been negligent"
"You are directly responsible for the increase in youth violence, loss of life and liberty, that we are seeing in our communities"
