Inevitable that Rayner would have to go. Politicians always make the mistake of thinking that when caught in an error they can avoid a political penalty and ride out the inevitable storm of scandal.

What Kyle is saying is that he quite likes one rule for supposedly ‘rich’ Tory MPs and a different rule for ‘poor’ Angela. The left only really dislike double standards when they cannot benefit from them.

I’m not surprised the newly minted leader of the Green Party is supportive of the police being used like a latter day NKVD to repress unauthorised and unsanctioned thought processes.

It’s amazing how many people will fall for the “solutions not scapegoats” spiel when Corbyn isn’t offering any solutions just a different set of scapegoats.

The historic and constitutional illiteracy of thinking that rights in Britain only exist as a consequence of the ECHR from 1950 or the HRA from 1998.

The year zeroism around the Human Rights Act of 1998 is one of the most frustratingly idiotic things in modern political discourse. The idea that prior to that one piece of legislation passing the UK was some tyrannical hellhole of unending oppression is risible.

Prosperity won't come by inventing more and more lavish public expenditure programmes. You do not grow richer by ordering another cheque-book from the bank. No nation ever grew more prosperous by taxing its citizens beyond their capacity to pay.

It isn't capitalism vs socialism that makes the difference; it's market vs non-market, and Britain is drifting toward the latter. Industry is increasingly being forced to offer customers what bureaucrats think they ought to want. @worstall in The Critic.

When it comes to the rich it’s always more satisfying to join them than to beat them.

I think a person is more entitled to pass their money to their own offspring than have the government confiscate it to pass to strangers who may have shipped in on the last tide.

Reports suggest Labour may introduce capital gains tax on home sales in the Autumn Budget. It sounds like an easy revenue raiser - but the evidence shows it would slash transactions, gum up housing chains, and could even collect less tax overall. Thread:
