10,000 of 3,000,000 millionaires left the country last year - 0.33%. These people would rather leave than pay tax - good riddance I say. Let’s not change our approach to appease rich freeloaders.

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important.
As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.

Seems to me as though, as a quid pro quo for wealthy donors getting a public subsidy for their donations, they should declare who they are. No transparency - no subsidy. goodlawproject.org/end-charity-...
End charity tax breaks for dark money donations | Good Law Project
Charities get generous tax breaks – even for anonymous donations. But shouldn’t we know who they’re working for?

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families. She never once raised the issue of grooming gangs or met any survivors.
But now she implies that Labour MPs are complicit, refuses to defend Jess Phillips and hopes to wreck the child safety bill.
All to please Musk.
Utterly… unforgivably detestable.

How many times in the past week have you heard UK broadcasters say “Pakistani grooming gangs” despite 2% of Pakistanis being responsible for child sexual abuse?
88% are white British.
How many times has Musk or Farage been the headline?
They are openly normalising far right narratives.

The Brexit Curse:
Brexit cost UK £27bn in lost trade in first two years.
British exports fell by 6.4%, imports by 3.1%.
OBR forecast a 15% slump in trade, leading to a 4% reduction in national income, over the longer term.
Self-inflicted harm.
Rejoin the EU.

The facts are in: New stats show Crown Court backlogs have now broken all records. *73,105 cases now waiting for trial.* That’s almost double the delays before the pandemic (a level that had by then already been rising due to cuts to judges, courts and a loss of barristers over pay.)
