Description

As the UK transitioned from pomp to politics, the Tories prioritised some of - you guessed it! - the richest in society.In this week’s trawl, Marina & Jemma crawl through the debris of The Queue, struggle to side-step the national debate surrounding the privilege of queue-jumping, and then focus on chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s gift to bankers during a cost of living crisis… he even reduced benefits for the poorest in society to, whattaguy!Hang on, did anyone see banker’s bonuses written on the side of the bus as a Brexit benefit? Of course not... On Twitter, there were some quite visceral reactions to the rich getting richer (and a reminder that not all of them are awful), our political pair ponder the myths of growth, and we’re reminded why the unlimited bonuses cap was introduced.Plus… this week’s pudding is from The Exploding Heads.Seen a great tweet?
