No, the previous policy was cuts to public services paired with attacks on welfare recipients to supposedly pay for those tax cuts. It wasn't the tax cuts alone that led to everything being so underfunded and broken.
For me at least, most of that was just identifying rhetorical devices used by the writer and summarising what they wrote, not looking at the legitimacy of what's being said (it'd be hard to do that in an exam context anyway).
“The Labour government will have to take difficult decisions about where to spend money because of the state of the public finances left by the Conservatives,” claimed a Whitehall source. “We are taking the tough decisions now so we can fix the foundations and deliver on the mandate of change we were elected on to rebuild Britain.”
Fixing the foundations by doubling down on the policies that broke it in the first place, just without the tax cuts to (mostly) the wealthy.
here are many reasons set out in the article describing possible positives for the EU and the UK. But why would the EU want to be closer with the UK when the UK has literally decided to go its own way, and then waddles back with its tail between its legs
So your entire position is that the EU is bitter over a bad relationship and is willing to hurt themselves to spite the UK? Are you sure you're not the Brexiteer?
A spokesperson for the party said any issues with the Meta pixel appeared to be “cock-up rather than conspiracy”
This might as well be the party motto at this point.
Apparently, as the Telegraph decided to give this nothingburger of a paragraph its own heading
Ms Tweedale previously prompted controversy in the department after she was singled out by civil servants who accused her of furthering the “chilling effect” of gender ideology.
This is such a concerning president, hopefully the ECHR overturns this. The government shouldn't have the power to make you stateless.
For anyone else annoyed by this, I've created a userscipt to auto expand the textarea. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

function updateHeight(textarea) {
var text = textarea.target.value;
var lineHeight = 1.25 * parseFloat(getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).fontSize);
var taHeight = textarea.target.scrollHeight - 16 * 2;
var lines = Math.max(Math.ceil(taHeight / lineHeight), 8);
textarea.target.rows = lines;
}
setInterval((function () {
let textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (let textarea of textareas) {
textarea.addEventListener("input", updateHeight);
}
}), 2000);
Yeah, the text box getting its own scroll window instead of expanding is annoying. It can be expanded, but I imagine that's a pain to do on mobile.
Absolutely get that, I've been doing some stuff with markdown lately and I didn't realise I could hate a file format so much. Best of luck, friend.
I presume you're referring to Samuel Melia, who was just anti-semitic.
