Of course she has. The small matter of owing ยฃ122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.

NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." ๐Ÿงต

So Gary Neville is apparently a traitor despite employing 600 Mancunians, paying all his taxes and opening his hotel to front line workers during COVID lockdowns.

Sounds like much more of a patriot than those who criticising him who just spend their time talking the UK down.

You only have to look at how much Israeli money was given to Labour politicians in the run up to the last election, especially the front bench. Starmer and his cronies arenโ€™t just a disgrace to the Labour movement, theyโ€™re a disgrace to humanity.

The UK never expelled the Israeli soldiers it was training in Britain during a genocide. It just "paused" future training.

Now, even this decision is "under review".

We revealed the UK has trained Israeli soldiers fighting in Gaza

Corporate Welfare

A profitable pharmaceutical company received ยฃ3.4bn tax cut from a UK tax incentive scheme.

The drug wasn't available to the NHS for several years.

Big pharma wants to hike drug prices.

ยฃ3.4bn would drastically cut child poverty... but ... but ... there is no money for that.
