The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer.
FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?

Just in case you ever think The Times offers impartial reporting and responsibly informs its readership…
Have a word with yourself and delete that thought…
It is the voice of its rancid press baron owner and doesn’t care about anyone else’s interests or in telling you the truth.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?

Nigel Farage missed Keir Starmer's Commons statement on the UK-EU Summit earlier this week.
He's now missing today's Westminster Hall debate on the summit.
Because just a few days before parliamentary recess, he's on holiday.
(Which is his 10th trip abroad at least since the general election).

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

A photo of a sign telling people not to walk their dogs in an “Islamic area” has been shared online with claims such signs are becoming “more common”.
But the image is from 2014 and we’ve seen no reports of the same or similar signs appearing recently.

Sign telling people not to walk their dogs in an ‘Islamic area’ is not recent - Full Fact
A sign shared on Facebook appeared in Tower Hamlets in 2014—we’ve seen no recent reports of the same or similar signs appearing in London or elsewhere in the UK.

Excellent thread.
Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔
Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked…

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
