This crazy move, by Rachel from accounts(FAILED), means that someone NOT working, with 6 kids, gets an extra £14,000 per year!!, ABSOLUTE MADNESS!!!

The Chancellor did not mislead the public or markets when she warned of difficult decisions needed to fill a black hole in the public finances, Downing Street has said.

There were warnings ahead of the Budget that Rachel Reeves could face as much as a £20 billion gap in meeting her self-imposed fiscal rule of not borrowing for day-to-day spending.

But a letter from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) published on Friday revealed it told the Chancellor as early as September 17 that prevailing economic winds meant the gap would be much smaller.
It later informed her in October the spending gap had closed altogether.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the letter showed Ms Reeves had “lied to the public” and should be sacked.

The Budget on Wednesday followed weeks of warnings from Ms Reeves that she would need to make “hard choices”, including a period of time in which it seemed likely she would hike the headline rates of income tax to meet her tax and spending commitments.
The watchdog’s final forecast on October 31 then suggested that it had been eliminated altogether and that there was now a £4.2 billion net positive above the Chancellor’s day-to-day spending plans.

On Sunday 10th May 2026, I'll be taking part in the Marsden March, a 15 mile sponsored walk from near the Marsden Hospital in Chelsea to the Marsden Hospital in Sutton to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

The Marsden is a world-leading cancer centre. Their nurses, doctors and research teams provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and ground-breaking research to creating the very best patient environments, they will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Twenty years ago a good friend of mine was diagnosed with late stage cancer. The Marsden cured him with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Twenty years later he’s alive and well. I’ve lost a lot of other friends and relatives to various forms of cancer so I'd like to raise as much money as I can for the charity.

The website of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity gives a lot of detail about the March at https://march.royalmarsden.org

In the past many generous people on Scooploop have donated to my Marsden March fund so I'd like to ask for your support again this year.

If you'd like to donate you can do so at:

https://march.royalmarsden.org/fundraisers/tonylang/marsden-march-2026

Whether you donate £1 or £50. Every donation helps to make a difference.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers.

PLEASE NOTE....The program cost less than existing welfare bureaucracy while producing vastly better outcomes.

Sweden's universal basic income trial succeeded completely, but capitalist systems fear workforce control loss
Sweden's 3-year universal basic income experiment provided $1,800 monthly to 5,000 citizens with zero strings attached—no work requirements, no means testing, no bureaucratic monitoring. Results demolished conservative predictions: employment actually increased 12% as people used income security to start businesses, pursue education, or escape abusive jobs for better opportunities. Mental health hospitalizations dropped 34%, crime fell 41%, and children's educational performance improved dramatically. The program cost less than existing welfare bureaucracy while producing vastly better outcomes.
The economics worked because UBI eliminated poverty traps where welfare recipients lose benefits by working, creating rational incentives to stay unemployed. With guaranteed income, every dollar earned adds to total income instead of replacing lost benefits, making work always advantageous. People took entrepreneurial risks impossible when missing one paycheck means homelessness. Students could focus on education instead of survival jobs. Parents could afford childcare enabling employment. The freedom from desperation unleashed productivity that economic anxiety suppresses, with GDP growing 2.8% in UBI regions versus 1.9% in control areas.
However, corporate interests view UBI as existential threat to labor control. Employers benefit from desperate workers who accept low wages, poor conditions, and abusive treatment because refusing means starvation and homelessness. UBI gives workers power to say no, forcing companies to offer decent wages and conditions to attract employees who no longer face survival coercion. Leaked corporate lobbying documents reveal executives writing that "worker financial independence undermines leverage essential to labor cost optimization"—admitting that poverty is a feature, not bug, maintaining cheap, compliant workforces.
American workers remain trapped in coercive employment: Sweden proves UBI increases employment while improving wellbeing, yet US business lobbies fight it desperately because economic desperation is how capitalism extracts maximum labor at minimum cost. When workers can refuse exploitative jobs without starving, power dynamics shift toward labor—exactly what corporations fear. UBI isn't unaffordable or unworkable—it's threatening to those profiting from current desperation-based system. The technology of money distribution is trivial; the political will to empower workers versus employers is what's actually lacking.

I have no display for the smart meter they turned on remotely without informing me a couple of years ago. Nor do I have an app.

'I understand that you'd like a display to track your usage.

Unfortunately, not all working smart meters of the first generation are currently eligible for exchange.

However, we could switch your S1 meters to half-hourly readings, so at least you'd be able to see more accurate usage on the app.

Would that be an option for you?'

We all made mistakes at 13; we should focus on the mistakes Farage is continuing to make.

No matter who you are, no matter how progressive your politics, you have to concede - none of us were perfect at 13. Just imagine if every stupid, cruel, edgy or brainless thing we said at that age was dragged into daylight and thrown onto the front pages for davs on end, then analysed by your enemies.

Because as a teenager most of us are desperate to impress the wrong people, terrified of being at the bottom of whatever invisible hierarchv exists, and capable of saying things that would make present day you want to crawl inside a bin and quietly roll into the sea.

If you're claiming you've never said anything you'd be ashamed of now, I'm sorry, but you're either lying or you've edited your own memory like a dodgy Wikipedia entry.

That's been in my head a lot this week as further allegations emerged that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage had engaged in racism and antisemitism while at school.

Farage, a former pupil of Dulwich College, denied some of the claims in the Guardian investiaation. but his defence was curious, and in my view, telling.
Because if he had come out this week to say, 'Look, I was a horrible little git. I said awful things. I regret it. I'm sorry,' he'd probably have got a surprising amount of sympathy from those of us who realise we weren't exactlv our best selves during those formative school years.

That is how human beings are supposed to talk about their worst moments.
We're supposed to show a bit of humility, a bit of reflection maybe even a bit of embarrassment about the person we used to be.

But that is not the defence the Reform UK leader chose Instead, he went for the slippery half denial, straight from the Trump playbook, in which nothing is ever quite admitted everything is blurred

'No, I have never directly, really tried to go and hurt anybody', he told broadcasters, responding to the Guardian accusations directly for the first time.
A sentence so carefully crafted it almost collapses under the weight of its own cowardice
Without insult or intent, he told broadcasters, seemingly trying to make racism claims sound technical rather than moral.

However, here's the real problem Niael Farage faces: this isn't about what he did when he was 13.
It's about what he did when he was 30, and 40, and 50 and now, at 61 with a straight face and a political ambition he plans from the playaround all the way to 10 Downing Street.

Because to me, this isn't some bloke who, when he was a youngster said few stupid things and grew up to learn his lessons.

In my view. he has built his entire adult life around a politics of division by leading not one but several political parties whose central operating system appeared to be suspicion of immigrants, hostility to difference, and the careful stoking of fear aimed squarely at the most convenient targets of the day. You don't lead multiple anti-immigrant parties by accident.

You don't spend decades talkinq about migrants as threats to the fabric of the country if, deep down, you're just a misunderstood thinker who might have unintentionally upset people at school.

This is a grown man making deliberate choices again and again with both eyes wide open.

Which is why the whole 'well, we all said silly stuff as kids' argument doesn't quite work with me.

It would require you to believe that the young Nigel who is accused of racist behaviour and the adult Nigel who says he didn't directly hurt people, are two completely separate characters.

But they aren't.

The answer is simple. It's because he doesn't like it!

There have been plenty of people complaining about how he reacted to them when at school. However, he doesn't like them reacting to him now.It's in the adult world. He states that it was 50 years ago, and he implies that their memory may not be accurate. Furthermore, he now brings in the fact that he considers it could be a political move on their part. 🤣🤣🤣🤡

Strangely enough , none of his followers like being called racist 😢. They enjoy being racist, just not being called out for it.

Not only that, but when Nigel Farage is called a supporter of Putin and of Russia , he objects. It would appear that on LBC yesterday, they covered quite a few of his statements, made in various places, but demonstrating his support of Putin and of the recently imprisoned Nathan Gill, the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, who was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison for accepting bribes to promote pro-Russian statements while serving as a Member of the European Parliament. Gill received around £40,000 to support pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine, which has raised serious concerns about foreign influence in British politics.

So whatever you do, don't call Nigel a racist, nor pro Russian!

Imagine if the richest said "Please tax us more to help the poor. Tax wealth, not work".

Well, that DOES happen. I saw and heard it, with my own eyes and ears again today.

It's time to combat widening inequality. The Chancellor must listen. She must not be bullied by the loudest voices.

The "Tax Us, the Super-Rich" Campaign Bus arrived in Westminster this morning. The final stop on its national tour. Through chilly snow & rain flurries I met them. Thanks to Patriotic Millionaires for organising.

I'd already tabled a raft of parliamentary motions, urging the Chancellor to use her Budget next week to combat widening inequality, choose tax justice, reward work and enterprise, close tax loop-holes, lift those struggling to make ends meet. It can be done.

Millionaire YouTuber and economist, Gary Stevenson, said: "People like me, the super-rich, must start paying what they should. Working people are being squeezed out because our country’s wealth is being concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer people. The Chancellor has an opportunity to change that in this Budget, to tax wealth, not work. Millionaires support it, the public supports it. It’s time to get on with it.".

Example: First of 3 Parliamentary Motions [EDM 2162]:
Matters for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider prior to the Autumn Budget 2025

That this House notes the extent of widening inequality in the UK and that the top 50 richest families now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population and there has been nearly 1000% increase in the wealth of UK billionaires since 1990; further notes that a dynamic study conducted by Patriotic Millionaires UK on the Sunday Times Rich List reported that £160 billion could have been raised for the UK's public finances over the past three decades if those with assets over £10 million were annually taxed at 2%, whilst their wealth would still have increased at between 1.7% and 2.7%; believes that moderate taxes would not provoke capital flight as lobbyists assert and is repeated by some media and commentators; considers that just 0.01% of the richest households relocated after wealth tax reforms were introduced in Norway, Sweden and Denmark; highlights that the considerable evidence that low taxes on wealth can be counterproductive for growth and productivity and that research by tax policy experts at CenTax and the IFS shows that equalising capital gains and income tax rates alongside introducing an investment allowance supports productivity and growth, as does taxing share buybacks; also notes UK's tax-to- GDP ratio is around 35% according to OECD data (2024), lower than comparable G7 economies France (44%), Italy (43%), Nordic countries (41-43%); and calls on the Chancellor to reflect on these factors as she considers her options for the forthcoming Budget.
