Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.

Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.

This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

We are working with three teams of lawyers: (1) water companies can be sued but how do you protect yourself from huge costs risk (2) does polluting rivers and the sea breach the human rights of affected communities and (3) how should our interests be looked after as water companies are restructured?

Sky must stop funding hate speech CW: Homophobia, hate speech Sky launched its programme for Pride 2024 with a ringing declaration the company was โ€œproud to celebrate LGBTQ+ storiesโ€. But while it was posting shiny videos claiming to ...

If you think, as I do, that GB News' open hostility to the LGBT+ community and Black and Brown people tacitly encourages violence we've made it very easy for you to tell Sky, one of its biggest advertisers, to stop funding hate.

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy.

When they say โ€œdemocracyโ€, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all.

When Europe says โ€œdemocracyโ€, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesnโ€™t want to govern. He doesnโ€™t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says public want to leave the ECHR - letโ€™s put the record straight
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says public want to leave the ECHR - letโ€™s put the record straight

With Nigel Farage and Reform UK again calling for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights here is a reminder of why joining Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR is a very very very bad idea

Trump comes for the scientists It is widely known that right-wing people of a conservative disposition do not trust the government, however much they wish to control it. There is also a lot of evidence that they do not trust scien...

Trump comes for the scientists www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Trump has cancelled almost all US government medical research. He's also cancelled communication on current medical crises. Mistrust of science is a fascist trait. It looks like the people of the USA are going to suffer for it.

This is a person who Kemi Badenoch thinks should sit in the House of Lords.

The tweets start in 2009 - Young was 45 at the time.

This. This. This.

And that message carries across a huge range of circumstances.
