ealth Taxes introduced by Labour to date 1. Companies House confirms identity verification rollout from 18 Nov 2025. 2. Changes to make Land Registry transparent on land/property ownership 3. Increase stamp duty on purchases of 2nd homes up to 5% from 3% in total 4. Abolishing Non Dom status 5. VAT on private school fees 6. Changes to pension inheritance tax 7. Increase to Capital Gains tax 8. Discussions with Isle of Man and HMRC to stop tax avoidance and loopholes 9. New HMRC team focused on ensuring the wealthy pay the correct amount of tax 24/25 yields additional c£1.5bn 10. New powers in Companies tackling economic crime and improving data 11. Air passenger duty on private jets up 50% 12. Changes to IHT on agricultural estates

Some quiet changes that are targeting the wealthy and creating lots of angst in the media. Labour are focused on equality and moving the benefits to ordinary people. What’s not to like?

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Threads is becoming just as bad unfortunately.

I didn’t like Rishi Sunak as PM, but these comments are absolutely disgusting.
The racists are far too emboldened at the moment and the online rhetoric that’s rife means that people are now making these sort of comments offline too. It’s utterly vile.

Tommy Robinson joins Ben Habib's Advance UK, cementing its position as a party slightly to the right of Hitler and strictly for thugs, grifters, cokeheads and criminals.

This is seriously impressive (and impressive that Warren keeps such a detailed track of it all!)

From what I can gather, a wealth tax would take years to get through, as it would have to be written into law.
I do agree they should at least be starting that process as a longer term thing, but we also need to raise money in the short term.

I heard a clip from the same interview where she was outraged that a quarter of rapes are committed by ‘those of an ethnic minority’, but didn’t seem to be upset about white people committing the same crime..

I’ll also add that they once also took us to Dungeness power station- and we all decided it was the most boring day out ever 🤣

I vividly remember my parents taking us to a wind farm in the mid-90s when there were less of them around, and us all being amazed at how elegant they are. Also remember jumping over the shadows that the sails made on the floor. Can’t have that kind of fun in more traditional power stations.

Extraordinary how much of the media is essentially trying to incite rioting now. Not just legitimise or normalise but actively encourage. It is, of course, unlikely to kick off anywhere near them.

Israel is starving the Palestinians to death.

We need to starve the Israelis.

We need to lobby the British government to withdraw all trade with Israel.

We need to lobby the government to apply extreme sanctions to Israel.

When we go shopping, we need to boycott all Israel goods.

Farage,Tice and Lee Anderson, should be arrested for inciting race violence.

Truly. The distinction between the treatment of elderly Gaza demonstrators and far-right protestors suggests a complete breakdown in our moral compass.

The James O'Brien 'controversy' shows that you are allowed to air all sides of the debate.

Except those that criticise Israel.

The BBC constantly challenge and report this Labour government negatively.
The BBC constantly support and report Farage positively.

Does anyone see the agenda?

I agree. They probably should have let this one go. Unless there is more to it than we know, which let’s face it, there probably is.

"Who is the one to do these tweets for Larry?"

"Nobody knows."

Rare moment where you actually see Starmer's sense of humour.

Northern Ireland politicians condemn migrants effigy on loyalist bonfire Plan to burn depiction of boat carrying migrants in Moygashel denounced as disgusting and hateful

The Loyalist bonfire featuring an effigy of a migrant boat is disgusting and hateful.

The dehumanisation of refugees and asylum seekers must stop.

The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.

I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.

In one year, Nigel Farage received the most amount of ‘gifts’ of any MP in Westminster, just short of £100,000.

Where’s the outrage from our media?

Matt Hancock says care home plans 'as good as useless' as chilling texts emerge Appearing before the Covid Inquiry, former Health Secretary Matt Hancock lashed out at local authorities and Public Health England as messages between him and minister Helen Whately were revealed

AKA not a protective ring.
If only he’d spent a bit less time handing out millions to his mates and not having an affair at work.

Starmer had been secretly visiting his dying brother for months before he passed away. It was only announced because it would have been in the papers and they would have had to have a funeral. They don’t have to disclose their whole personal lives. Leave Reeves alone.

I keep thinking about when Liz Truss looked like she was having a nervous breakdown at PMQs after the mini budget, and Starmer was nowhere near as harsh with her as he could have been due to her condition.
Compare that with how Badenoch is treating Reeves…
Hideous is the right word.

I’m not watching, but James O’brien just said on LBC. I feel really sorry for her 😔

Peter Thiel built ICE’s deportation machine.

Now Palantir is processing 400M+ data points inside Iran—from satellite images to social media—for the nuclear deal.

War with Iran wouldn’t just be catastrophic. It would mean billions in profits for Thiel and Palantir.
