Disturbing overtones here from the Mail on Sunday, telling its readers that "Globalism" (along with something it calls "warmism") has "made us a weakling"...

Meanwhile today's Sunday Telegraph picks up the theme about national "strength" - and throws in a claim that climate policy has "emasculated" Britain...

Here we go again.

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏

Let's keep this going!

"They are going to tax me, and all the people pretending to be farmers like me, then their children will inherit slightly fewer millions/billions."

"Noooooooo it is so unfair."

In Denmark apparently..

Thought for the day.

UK Still Taxes the Poorest More Than the Richest - Equality Trust New data from the Office for National Statistics shows that the poorest 10% of households in the UK are still paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the richest.

UK's regressive tax system.
Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%.

Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%.

Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%.

No govt plans to end inequity.

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Nigel Farrage.

Nick Candy boasted to a FT journalist in 2010 "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco)

He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax.

Patriotic? Anti-Establishment?

It's a con.

I think that ship has sailed! Should feature in most LBC ‘best of 2024’s though…

Brexit: What will next chapter of UK-EU relations bring for NI? BBC News NI's business and economics editor looks back at the impact of Brexit in 2024.

“Two-thirds of working private renters, 4,450,000 people, are falling behind or struggling to pay their rent, showing the housing emergency the government inherited is only getting worse.”

Andrew and Tristan Tate lose £2m court case over unpaid tax Police can seize money from frozen accounts after ‘straightforward cheat of the revenue’, London magistrate rules

Schadenfreude central as dim-witted Andrew Tate who boasted ONLINE about not paying his taxes in the UK and how they eventually give up... if you ignore them gets a £2 million tax bill as a reward for his raging idiocy

One bollock always hangs lower than the other.

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

Too shite for GBnews, shouldn't laugh

@ballysboots.bsky.social I'm pretty sure this is one of yours mate...

I've just ordered those new festive sausages that Elvis Costello has launched this Christmas. I can't see them being any good, but apparently olive salami is here to stay...
