Turns out it’s a tad tough
Nigel Farage promised that Reform councils would cut local government "waste" in order to slash taxes.

Now the party's flagship Kent administration is set to actually raise taxes and has just started asking opposition parties for help after failing to identify the millions in savings they promised

Neoliberalism is dying. What comes next? youtu.be/VIdhnKskSh8?...

One of the biggest issues with current social ills is the move to massive corporate centralisation of all access to shopping.
The high street decline has been down to these decisions
Walk along any British high street now and the casualties are stark: shops that were once bustling and thriving now stand empty and boarded up, some for years.

Italy has fined Amazon $1.3bn for unfair business practices.

In the UK Amazon does not even pay the £3bn a year tax that it should.

It's time for us to fine and tax the hell out of Amazon.
