OK, so that's going to mean some employment and income tax losses to the UK (and other economies.) And unemployment misery for some.
But don't worry Jim Ratbag will never pay tax in the UK

It all smacks of 'The Manager has the complete confidence of the Board.'
So the options are:-
- McSweeney doesn't know what's going on, things are done behind his back, and thus he's not running the No.10 show
-or-
- He's lying, or lies are being told on his behalf.
Either way, he's far past his sell-by date.

I believe in the right to ask fair and legitimate questions. Unless those questions are “did you pay for that house in Clacton?”, “how could your girlfriend afford to buy it?”, “is it just a tax scam?” or “are you a lying sack of shit?”

There’s nothing complex about Farage. He peddles hate because if he didn’t he would have nothing to say. He’s made a career out of sowing division and he continues to enrich himself while he’s doing it.
A vile excuse for a human being.

Many thanks to JCB’s Lord Bamford for donating £200,000 to Reform. HMRC seem to think he owes them up to £500m from money hidden in offshore accounts, but why pay tax when you can give it to a bunch of racists instead?

Every journalist briefed by No 10 re Streeting knows who did it but now maintains the fiction it’s not clear who did. Treating government as a political campaign feeds journalists but it is bad government eg the huge number of leaks re Budget options has chilled the economy.
