Mogg attacks Lady Hale and calls for neutering of Supreme Court.
MP for North Somerset demanded that the court’s powers be circumscribed so it is no longer the ‘final arbiter of the law’.
So who? The government?
Mogg really is a disgusting fascist.

Saw someone use the phrase "modern waterfall". A more accurate adjective is "revanchist waterfall", entrenched power structures trying to get revenge for the XP attempt to delegate power & align authority with responsibility.

I remember in the 80s a boss asked my team how long it would take to do a thing.

Boss "Okay, let's do it. And then, in the meantime, we can do these other things..."

In 2014 flanked on-stage by Ruth Davidson, Brown promoted the UK as a land of milk & honey citing the minimum wage, pensions, the NHS, the welfare state and in a moment of supreme irony accused the Yes campaign of, "Leading us into a trap". Now it's lots of foodbanks and poverty.
"I'm seeing poverty I never thought I would see in my lifetime again"
Gordon Brown says the goal is to abolish food banks but we have to deal with the "here and now" as "2024 could be a worse year for poverty" and we need to do "far more".

Brexit has allowed Energy Ratings to be regulated, do you think your A* rating is good?
Well it's an F in the EU.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The labels are the same in both the UK and the EU. The ratings have now been simplified to show A to G and appliances must now be more efficient to achieve an A grade than under the old system.

Judge the Tories on their record: Brexit, Windrush, food banks, Universal Credit, bedroom tax, hungry children, Grenfell, Rwanda, partygate, the mini budget, double-digit inflation, rocketing mortgages, the cost of living crisis, sewage in the seas and record NHS waiting lists
