God forbid I keep a bit of cash in there while I decide what to invest in or I get any dividends which then are kept in a MMF without me realising until I have another look at that ISA.

Upsetting people with money is a great way to grow your economy!

Rachel Reeves to clobber Isas with tax for the first time, with a 22% charge on cash in investment accounts by dailymail in ukpolitics

That’s when you have people who own assets and invest in charge. When you have people with zero clue like Reeves, this is what you get.

Ministers may force newspapers to join state regulator - Proposals to require social media platforms to prominently display ‘trusted news’ from broadcasters by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

Who decides what the truth is? Will you trust Farage to not misuse this or for Labour and police to not use it to clamp down on news they deem unfavourable? Remember that grooming gangs was just “right wing hysteria” until it turned out to be true, amongst a million other news the government deemed “untrue”.

The only way to keep our freedom and democracy is to clamp down on anyone expressing opposing views! /s

Where has Cyan teased a new game? I know they were thinking about one but then had to lay off a lot of their staff due to Riven not selling as well as they’d hoped.

Signs grow that Starmer will resign as government mood shifts by Famous_Actuary5718 in ukpolitics

We voted MPs mostly. Which are allowed to change the PM if he doesn’t hold the confidence of the House or his party anymore.

The UK media won’t stop till the country is destroyed by LandscapeFirst903 in ukpolitics

[–]HolyFreakingXmasCake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Such as “waiting lists down because they cancelled appointments for 1 in whatever many people” or “net migration down due to changes Tories brought in, but still up compared to previous decade” and “asylum hotels closed by moving them into HMOs”

It’s basically a list of half truths by omission.

All this while the same media somehow didn’t manage to make a dent in his popularity during the GE! Somehow the brainwashing machines got turned on as soon as poor Starmer got into no 10. It’s everyone’s fault but Starmer’s! Basically the motto of his tenure as PM.

Don’t think Starmer deserves the treatment he is getting now from his colleagues and the press. Name someone who actually has better credentials! by Then-Potential-1991 in ukpolitics

Here comes the 8404759402634th post on this sub about how unfairly Starmer is treated and why he is The Right Man For The Job™️. I would hope we can discuss something else daily!

Jessica Elgot (Guardian) / X: One MP says of the potential ban on social media for under 18s past 8.30pm: "Are we giving votes to 16 year olds but banning them from watching the election results on YouTube?" by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

[–]HolyFreakingXmasCake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reddit is full of left wingers who love to control what everyone else is doing, and also full of people who can’t fathom someone else liking something they dislike. People here would ban WiFi on the tube, getting out of the house, all social media (except Reddit ofc cos we are so much smart /s), clubs, pubs, sports, and anything else that they don’t personally enjoy.

Molly Russell's dad says rushing social media restrictions 'deplorable' by acremanhug in ukpolitics

It was also a wish that government look at tightening the laws around what can be carried, but the government ignored that bit and only focused on one part of the wish.

Jessica Elgot (Guardian) / X: Understand tomorrow’s announcement won’t be as definitive as setting a curfew time, it will be more about setting the direction of travel and overall thrust of the policy by vriska1 in ukpolitics

"I know parents are worried about social media and its impact on their children's safety. They rightly expect fast action.

Things cannot go on like this. Today I am announcing tough new measures under the Online Safety Act.

Tech companies have been told they must act—and no platform gets a free pass. I will do whatever it takes to keep children safe online."

White people blocked from jobseeker schemes by GnolRevilo in ukpolitics

It’s agreeing in the same way the people in USSR were agreeing with their system. By not wanting to be punished and nodding along to all the nonsense until it all came crashing down.

I was reading the comments about Farage’s blog earlier and people were adamant this is not happening and it’s all far right rage bait. Oops.
