Maybe just that females were doing so well anyway so more difficult to show large increases.

The relative increase in males is what strikes me the most.

Unable to count that high, Boris Johnson uses his hands to try and illustrate the volume of lies, he told each day as prime minister

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About Β£400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Margaret Thatcher said "Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money."

Then sold everything of yours because she was running out of money.

The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get Β£60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets Β£30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the Β£250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
