"The UK’s experiment with almost-progressive taxation has run its course. The almost-rich have been squeezed enough. The actually rich have been insulated enough." -- Dan Neidle

What happens when a law firm acts for a business widely suspected of fraud — run by a convicted fraudster, owned by unknown parties, and unable to answer fraud allegations?

When populist parties dictate the immigration narrative & the current incumbent jump to their narrative, it emboldens & supports the radical right. In turn, they lose voters to the populist party; this happened after Sir Keir Starmer gave his island of strangers speech.

I'm reading Andrew Lownie's Entitled, the very drab but oddly compelling story of Prince Andrew and that awful lot.

So far, he's cited two astrologers and one clairvoyant as sources.
