Everyone does pay for the NHS but the idea that NI funds Welfare, pensions and the NHS as it is sometimes implied is obviously nonsense. It's essentially just another income tax now. I think the whole tax system needs to be simplified massively in the UK (especially in scotland)
Getting cheap Foo Fighters and Wet Leg tickets on Twickets for Thursday as the prices seem to be coming down with so many on there, then its Liam Gallagher Sunday and Green Day next Friday. Just warming up for Glastonbury...
The message from the debate is that you don't do that by 'stealing' the centre right ground unless you're ready for the pendulum to swing even stronger in the other direction. They were using Scholz as the example with what's now happened in germany with the rise of AFD and the large proportion of 18-24s voting for them.
Can easily see something similar happening here during the next parliament life span if the Labour landslide is as large as predicted and if Starmer/Reeves sticks to austerity 2.0 and if Farage gets his seat and then has a daily platform to stir things up in a populist style. Lots of ifs though in that sentence.
