HMRC pays debt collectors hundred of pounds to chase people who owe as little as ยฃ89, losing hundreds of pounds on each case.

But it has let a ยฃ500,000,000 debt from Lord Bamford build up over more than 10 years.

HMRC isn't about collecting money.

Prison bosses make room for possible influx before planned protests across England Exclusive: Possible arrests at protests against Palestine Action ban and asylum hotels likely to stretch prisons

Let's empty the jails so we can fill them with octogenarians who care about genocide.
Because that's the real threat to society.

Ex-Scotland captain Colin Hendry admits harassing ex-partner The former Premier League star sent repeated messages to his ex and turned up at her home uninvited.

Photo of the year: British police arrest an 83-year-old priest for holding up a sign that says, โ€œI oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action,โ€ under the statue of Gandhi.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

'Ed Miliband has been accused of "breath-taking hypocrisy" as the UK Government confirmed it is working to rescue an English oil refinery with hundreds of jobs at risk.'
Breath-taking hypocrisy? Par for the course for this sorry UK Government...

Israel kills 59 Palestinians in Gaza, many while trying to get aid Thirteen starving Palestinians killed while trying to get food near the Netzarim Corridor and in Rafahโ€™s al-Mawasi area.

Israel has killed more Palestinians in Gaza in the last 24 hours than the combined death toll of the Israel-Iran conflict

This impunity, enabled by global moral failure, will echo through history www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

We're heading back to Victorian levels of poverty, nobody owns their own homes, you work for a lifetime to retire at 70 into a life where you can barely survive.

While the millionaire Workhouse owners are now billionaires, soon to be trillionaires, but they won't pay any tax.

Israel just killed 300 Palestinians in Gaza
Not 1 word of condemnation from the Western media.
Israel are desperate to provoke a return to the genocide.
The UK Government will back Israel, utterly shameful.
Did the RAF fly over the area prior to the attack? If they did then they're banged to rights

Commonwealth infrastructure: Scotland and Canada must lead Scotland and Canada can spearhead a revitalised Commonwealth, leveraging their strengths to shape a future rooted in trade, energy, and innovation

"Scotlandโ€™s ports (Aberdeen, Greenock, and Glasgow) operate at just 70% capacity according to Transport Scotland, representing significant underutilised potential, and an 18% drop just in the last decade. This inefficiency must change to capitalise on Scotlandโ€™s strategic North Atlantic position."
