I know it's a very minor fact that the names of the male children of Reese-Mogg are :

Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher Rees-Mogg.
Peter Theodore Alphege Rees-Mogg.
Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan Rees-Mogg.
Alfred Wulfric Leyson Opus Reese-Mogg.
Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam Reese-Mogg.

But you know that he feels above the general populace, has absolutely certainty that he knows best, will brook no argument, a visceral hatred of any government intervention that might actually help people - a reactionary of the worst kind.

They sound like characters in a Harry Potter novel my son.

God bless.

What a huge surprise. Honestly these creatures make me sick. Doesn't help that the picture they chose makes him look like more of a smug helmet than usual.

Bonuses in themselves aren't a bad thing, even for the wealthy. I mean I doubt people grumble that Premier League footballers probably get bonuses for scoring goals or winning trophies. The problem is how they're assigned and the behaviours that are encouraged, and a cap wouldn't influence that either way.

True, incentive is critical for good performance but its the tone deafness of it all that's the big issue, and lets be honest this isn't really about growth as a national benefit, its about allowing bankers to give themselves bonuses greater than 2x salary.

It plays into exactly the narrative Truss was peddling a few weeks ago - to hell with redistribution of wealth.

They don't want to lose the banking sector to Germany. They are scared out of their minds of that possibility.

Oh for sure, it's hard to imagine it's a priority, and I kind of suspect that bonuses are less of an issue for the competitiveness of British finance as Brexit is, but I suppose they can't ever really challenge that.

Just watched this concerning education, I dread to think what schools/colleges/uni will look like come the next GE.
