Anyone in the UK watch LWT with John Oliver and know which day of the week it airs on Sky?

Have Sky shown/are they showing last week’s episode on the British monarchy, or have they bottled it?

Monday at 9ish on sky. Not sure how much they’ve cut though, it’s hard to tell.

He’s actually right about hotel owners though.

I don’t see how that’s relevant.

He’s not though about referring to people seeking asylum as economic migrants. He’s a dog-whistling racist.

Surely the root cause isn't the hotel owners though. Its the reliance of the government on hotels. Once again the Tories are blaming a symptom of a problem they have created themselves in an attempt to dog whistle to the extreme elements of their support.

Shame they cannot blame the EU any more.

Those bloody dictators.

Gonna be a painful statement from Hunt

Taxes go up “substantially”

* Cut threshold 45p income tax from 150k to 125k
* freezing tax free thresholds until April 2028
* Dividend allowance cut from £2k to £1k and then £500
* electric cars have to pay VED
* stamp duty cuts lifted March 2025

Half of these measures won't even come into play until 2025 onwards.

Not sure that's going to fix anything.

Hunt finally admits we are in recession then

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed that the energy industry will be hit with an expanded windfall tax of 35% up from 25% from 1 January until March 2028.

From what I can find the NHS budget is £136b, so a £3.3b rise is 2.5%.

Absolutely nothing when inflation is currently at 11%

Hunt keeps making these dogs as Labour like his party hasn't stagnated and then diminished this country over the last 12 years

Yep

Cap on social rent at 7% when most people's wages won't even go up half of that

Rachel Reeve doing well here.
