  • Rishi Sunak launched the Conservative manifesto today at Silverstone. We’ve been trying to swerve the racing metaphors but the odd one crept in. He talked a LOT about tax cuts - doubling down on his disproven claim of Labour tax rises, but offered few new policies.
    The performance was polished. But has the public stopped listening? We talk to Home Secretary James cleverly and Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell.
    Later WE HAVE THE QUIZ RESULTS. And A WINNER is crowned.

      The tories love sacking civil servants because of their small state= low taxes mindset. They failed to realise that these civil servants do stuff, and sacking them is often a false economy. The asylum backlog wasn't a £6 million per day problem under Labour because claims were dealt with in a timely way.

Also, the idea that the Tories are trying to get everyone to do more unpaid work is right up there with food banks are "uplifting". Squeeze the population for more work whilst paying them nothing in a cost of living crisis. Awesome.

    A word on the creative industries - following Emily's enthusiasm to RS rhetoric on this matter. When the pandemic hit many of us had micro ltd companies, and got zero support. We kept eeking a living because furlough happened to everyone else. What we did get was targeted ads suggesting we retrain as a 'coder' or similar. The film industry is a £6bn service industry which funnels money out to largely US financiers, thanks to 14 years and more of poor tax incentives and low government support or interest in supporting British talent. The industry hasn't recovered from combination of pandemic and US strikes.... and I can confidently predict that most of us will be making a point of thanking the incumbent government, at the ballot box, personally.

    They keep repeating that claim of “the best readers in the western world”, and that’s also a lie. The PISA 2022 report (page 6) shows the UK is performing “above the OECD average” in reading, with a score of 494.
    But this is still behind Ireland, Estonia, Canada, the US, New Zealand and Australia, if you go by “Western”. But also behind Singapore, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Macau and Hong Kong. That’s a rank of #13. Incidentally, the score of 494 is 10 points lower than the previous report of 2018.
