University and College Union general secretary Jo Grady popped up on Newsnight to back her fellow socialist, Rachel Reeves. When asked about the exodus of millionaires fleeing the UK—the equivalent to over half a million taxpayers—she gave a classic ‘eat the rich’ response:
“If the millionaires aren’t paying sufficient taxes, I don’t see what the problem is with them leaving.”
Never mind that their departure leaves a gap in the Treasury to invest in higher education without hiking tuition fees—something she’s spent the last two months wailing about. Meanwhile on the Southport attacks, she bizarrely suggested an “epidemic of misogyny” was partly to blame for the killings. Not the most convincing lecture…
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
