UK finance minister: EU trade relations are 'arguably' more important than US.

A day after the meeting between the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer, said that trade relations with the EU may take precedence over those with the US.

The Labour government is in office — but economically, it feels like the Tories never left.
Rachel Reeves is taxing ordinary people while protecting the wealth of landlords, investors, and rentiers.
Borrowing is soaring, inequality is deepening, and nothing has changed except the party in charge.

At Vox Political, we’ve already laid out a better path — one that could raise £50 billion a year by taxing wealth fairly:

✅ Equalising capital gains with income tax
✅ Surcharges on investment income
✅ Reforming pension relief
✅ VAT on financial services
✅ Progressive property tax

It’s time to stop punishing work while rewarding wealth

@RichardJMurphy explains here that Labour 's Rachel Reeves could save unnecessary interest payments of £20 billion per year, which makes Labour's choice to cut funding for the elderly and disabled people even more blatantly a choice for necropolitics, IMO.

The EU, China, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Vietnam and others, all hit back or at least done something. I defy you to find any semblance of meaning in this from Starmer. Any iota of an inkling of a plan. One sentence or even two words strung together that aren’t complete and utter political speak bullshit. The man utters a thousands words and never do they mean anything. Absolutely full of shit and I voted for him for context

If only there were some way for the government to have more money coming. If only our nation were able to raise more money to pay for things, like the living wage. If only they could find extra money to make other things cheaper and help people and businesses thrive - but alas I think that’s impossible- there simply isn’t another way ….. Hang on !!!!!
