HMRC says it failed to collect around £500bn in tax since 2010. Others says £1,400bn.

£570bn held by UK residents in financial accounts in tax havens. Tax dodged.

Companies dodge taxes by profit shifting to low/no tax havens. No HMRC estimates.

Govts hit the poor, don't upset corporations/rich.

"James Dyson owns 36,000 acres of agricultural land, estimated to be worth in excess of £550mn... Prior to Reeves’ new tax regulations there would have been no tax to pay if he had died and passed the land on to his successors."
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

I talk about this endlessly in my book....how our current electoral system is NOT fit for purpose

@petergeoghegan.bsky.social explains more re donations

Jeez Labour...tighten up these horrors....
NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing

Musk's proposed $100million donation to Nigel Farage shows we are on the cusp of a real crisis for British democracy

But it can be fixed. Here's how, by me

Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy
Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

BREAKING:

“That isn't how our system works”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer reacts to a petition calling for a general election which has over 2 million signatures

It is clear from the petition data that huge numbers of the signatures are not genuine

Allison Pearson claimed police accused her of a “non-crime hate incident” after a tweet misidentifying a protest photo. Essex Police say that never happened, releasing footage to prove it. Pearson now says she might have “misheard” – but not before the Telegraph ran three front pages on the claim.
