The British "wealth exodus" is a big fat myth. Stories of the wealthy fleeing from potential wealth taxes have been pushed by consultancies who sells "golden passports" and residence visas to their wealthy clients. They have a direct stake in pushing this narrative. 1/3

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.
