    BBC News - Reeves suggests benefit limits on larger families to be lifted https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70j7dxjp5wo It isn't fair that those with larger families are penalised "through no fault of their own". Didn't realise kids were randomly bestoed on people by chance. I suppose its...

    regardless of the motivation no doubt police stopping and searching the two black men boarding the train with knives woild have been deemed racist

    On EU referendum actually the campaign in my view was about the opposite. The EU was essentially a post-war concept - integration of European economies and politics to end conflict in Europe via interdependence. However, its no longer fit for purpose. E.g. in the 1970s when we entered we did...

    2p on basic rate of income tax in the budget being speculated. Apparently its the only move that raises near the amount needed without threatening a destruction of the economy (VAT rise would heap on inflation while tinkering around margins of tax policy with capital gaind etc will end up...

    Putin & Russia

    while Trump says a lot of crazy sh*t he has explicitly stated that one of the reasons the Ukraine war needs to stop is that the longer it goes on the greater chance there is of unintended and irretrievable escalation

    Not seen anything on this but if true i wonder if Labour are considering dropping the high income tax threshold to £45K? Could imagine spin that its not technically a tax increase just a change in the threshold at which you pay more tax.....

    Putin & Russia

    This is an excellent yet chilling book on the scenario of a modern nuclear war that accidentally escalates in about an hour to end human civilisation and it features the scenario where Russia's EKS/Tundra early warning system mistakenly interprets a US missile attack fired across its airspace...

    Putin & Russia

    China likely views the war as one it really can't afford Russia to lose. If Russia loses, Putin's grip losens and the liklihood of a pro-democracy, pro-west takeover occurring in Russia. That would leave China isolated geopolitically and with what it would view as a major threat all along its...

    Putin & Russia

    Russia isn't using its airpower though. It isn't actually committing all of its military to this conflict. It has never committed its most modern hardware or provided serious air support to its forces. The reason support for Ukraine has been drip fed is to prevent escalation. As much as we...

    They are mostly not using them, nor other similar platforms like Paypal, Stripe as a bank. They are using them to move money rapidly. Open banking environments mean you can have your bank, savings accounts and credit cards liked to your Revolut or Paypal apps and if you want to transfer money...

    Putin & Russia

    Depends. If you took away the western military support Kyiv would likely have fallen within months if not weeks. When the US briefly halted military aid not so long ago a whole section of the Ukrainian front collapsed and the Russians gained hundreds of miles in the space of a week. I don't...

    They are not. They are in the process of obtaining one. They were granted a provisional license in July and are working through the process to become a bank in the UK. Most people have their salary paid into a bank account which soon dissappears. I only have a couple of hundred quid left...
