That video just cuts out what he's talking about (illegal expense claims) to make it about a different subject. Beyond stupid.

Thought this looked interesting so had a google and it's on their website https://quadrature.ai/corporate-social-responsibility/ Also https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/30/climate-groups-accept-millions-from-charity-linked-to-fossil-fuel-investments-quadrature-climate-foundation

I'd imagine Gordon Brown isn't happy. The one ex-chancellor who is a huge fan of Reeves is George Osborne, labelling her as a 'mini-me' https://www.thenational.scot/news/24495275.george-osborne-rachel-reeves-mini-me/

Sorry for repeating this point again but I believe this cut is ideological for Reeves, as shown in this House of Commons clip from 2014:

Yep.

Starmer is either serially dishonest or unprincipled so this is no surprise. My fear has always been that a Labour government under Starmer will lead to a lurch even further right next election.

Giving Prescott the keys was the break in tradition, only on that occasion has Labour given the deputy PM residence. Either The Telegraph is very sloppy or deliberately riling up people who won't ever bother to check.

Looks like the Residence Nil-Rate Band was introduced in 2015 at the height of austerity, not really the right priority for the country at that time., makes sense to scrap it.

Reeves has wanted to cut the payment for at least a decade so that maybe explains why she was so quick to get it done.

Awareness, complexity and stigma are the most common reasons. It seems you're blaming the most vulnerable for not claiming, can you not empathise with the vulnerable people affected?

How many of these policies will Labour adopt before being 'forced' to make cuts? https://taxjustice.uk/blog/six-wealth-tax-policies-that-could-raise-50-billion/

That'd then be an argument of the state dictating how any benefits are spent. Which would be wrong imo.

If they're eligible for assistance then it's right they're able to claim.

No-one forced them to do this, it was their decision to adopt the policy. Tbh I don't think promising to raise taxes for the highest earners would've changed the winner of the election, the Tories were done.

Agree with the first part, what are you referring to with the second?

TBF it is galling to see someone who never criticised the last lot and supported polices that got us in this mess popping up to have a go at any opportunity. Maupay's message on humility should be a lesson.

I don't agree with the cut but your characterisation of what Streeting had said was nonsense as usual.

He said it was needed but wasn't happy about it and apologised to those affected. Do you think MPs should be saying they're delighted to be cutting WFA?

Doesn't appear that hopeful according to this: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/02/labour-plans-britain-private-finance-blackrock
