While Jeremy Hunt was keen to portray an optimistic picture of his autumn statement, bragging about tax cuts and how he was ‘growing the economy’, even though the facts show otherwise, new analysis has revealed just how bad it’s got for households under the Tories.

Analysis by the Resolution Foundation has revealed that this Parliament is set to be the worst on record for household income growth. The think tank found that incomes are projected to fall by 3.1 per cent from December 2019 to January 2025.

It said in its report: “That makes this the only Parliament that has seen an overall decline in real household incomes (the next worse being that of 2015-17, which saw growth of 1.0 per cent).”

The below chart illustrates just how bad this Parliament is for household income growth. So much for the Tories being the party of sound finances.

Max is not someone I follow a lot. I find he has some strange ideas on trying to prove his point, but this is gold imo. ~~Becker~~ Guto Harri claims literally had me chuckling. A good start to the day:)

Sounds like a very generous thing to do for the public good except Welcome to Gresham’s

If you want to attend the same school as James Dyson then this is the cost.

Meanwhile state funded schools are falling down around us. This is why we need better tax laws than we have now.

I took a 2 month ban from worldnews@lemmy.ml

There was no message to say a ban had been applied. I messaged a mod to say I had trouble posting and asked if there was a ban applied. I got no response.

I eventually spotted there is a modlog, and low and behold it mentions I was banned for 2 months for antisemitism. I have to say I found this appalling.

When I dug further it turns out that I gave a reply to someone asking why the phrase "from the river to the sea" is considered antisemitic. I replied that is considered as referring to the genocide of the Jews in Israel. I gave a newspaper article link that showed a Labour MP who was removed from the party for using the quote.

The comment has been deleted, there was no information given regarding the ban, there is no point of reference to contest the ban. It is crass beyond belief. I am extremely insulted that someone gets to label me antisemitic for something that is very evidently not, and then hide behind an unbreakable barrier.

Edited to remove one sentence. It stated I would leave all Lemmy instances. Context in comments below.

Second edit: I finally got a moderator to respond to this.

from @OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml

You reported antizionism as antisemitism. You did an antisemitism.

Your source to support your claim also relies on antisemitism and the conflating of Jews and Israel.

I guess this is a community to ignore. Thank you for the responses. I will not respond to anymore here.

My response was:

Thank you for your response. Your community your rules. I made a post to try and get my head around this idiocy last night.

I will not use your community again.

EDIT: please update the ban log to reflect this. There is a huge difference between your reasoning and antisemitism.

Life is cheap it seems.

I am not sure if this is meant to be a triple A title or not, but you cannot knock it imho. A game with no cash shops or loot boxes. The only DLC are expansions to the original game. One of the few games where I would say the expansion are worth the cash. Many games release pitiful expansions with very meagre content.

I will be looking forward to this one when it arrives.
