The House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life.
Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

That's because most wealth in this country is hidden from view, which makes it hard to tax the wealthiest properly.
But we all need to contribute our fair share to pay for the things we value, like health and education.

This government needs to get better at taxing the wealthy - that starts with getting a proper view on who owns what.

We are meant to be a modern democracy. How are we reduced to a Prime Minister pleading with a collection of unelected, unaccountable remnants of feudalism to expel one of their members from power?
It's past time for this entire relic of our past to be put behind us.

The massive financial crimes are what's being protected, first and foremost. These monsters literally don't care that people know about them hurting children, but they do care about keeping their tax-free dark money.

'When asked about whether Spain would support the UK rejoining the EU, given polling in both countries favours such an outcome, Sánchez is resolute. “Absolutely,” he says. “We miss the UK within the European Union. I think there is a clear need to have the UK on board again, especially nowadays.”'

In Sicily we have a devastated eastern coastline and an entire town sliding into oblivion. Minimum €2bn damage to fix. Salvini refuses to use any of the €13.5bn set aside for the Messina Strait bridge. Tomorrow he is coming to view the devastation. Will be interesting to see the reception he gets.

Huh, UK eh? you've probably done so already but perhaps check with p/port office to see if there is a way with married name. I had to print &post 48 coloured blank pages of Italian p/port to them to renew!. Don't quote me but also think you need to PAY for privilege to relinquish UK citizenship!🤦♀️
