Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Excellent work, hope the treasury give it a read.
Switching 2p from National Insurance to Income Tax could raise £6 billion, while protecting workers’ pay packets.
This would mean that landlords pay a similar rate of tax on their rental income as their tenants do on their employment income.

Your weekly reminder that voter "concern" with immigration doesn't correspond to actual immigration levels.
It corresponds to the amount of coverage the media gives immigration.
This an entirely self-fulfilling mess, and it is entirely pointless.

A UK wealth tax sounds simple: "tax the super‑rich, fund public services"
But it's not.
Our 16,000 word deep‑dive shows revenues are fragile, it puts growth, investment and jobs at risk, and there's no revenue before 2029.
Here’s the evidence:

Imagine starving to death, but to be giving a life line - get to the aid centre by walking miles and scramble for food. But only to be shot at and killed. This is what has happened to hundreds according to sources, verified by the Red Cross. Israel disputes the numbers. Should there by more outcry?

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house
Without this access my company will not be profitable
Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree
