Well, that took less time to happen than I thought it would. If other polls start showing up like that, it could start to accelerate quite quickly if people see Green as the "sensible" vote to stop Reform.

It’s past time the lid was lifted on this fermenting turd. If jug ears is really sincere about addressing this, he will step up for the victims, including one who took her own life. What a cancer that family is on constructive discourse.

Hope this article is wrong and Reeves isn't insane enough to raise the basic rate of tax. It would not only hit almost all workers and hit the UK's economic brakes, but it would be brutally punished by voters. If there's one group Starmer's Labour love to claim to support, it's 'ordinary working families'.

Far better to raise taxes on unearned income (capital gains, dividends) to the rates incurred by earned income. And if that isn't enough, raise the top tax rate . . . broadest shoulders and all that.

Greens at 18% and 2nd place (again) in the latest poll. (Greens seem to score better with Findoutnow and Yougov).
