Jeremy Clarkson annihilates Zack Polanski about his teeth on gb news.

This is what GB News considers news.

Actual news: @greenparty.org.uk announced we have more members than the Conservatives, double the Lib Dems, making us the third largest party in Britain.

Now I wonder why GB News wouldn't want to report on that?

A graphic of the motion that reads

That this House welcomes the proposal from leading tax experts for the introduction of an annual wealth tax of 2% on individual assets over Β£10 million, which could raise an estimated Β£24 billion each year; believes that such a measure would represent a fairer alternative to cuts and could provide urgently needed resources to tackle the poverty and inequality that blights our society; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals for such a tax on extreme wealth ahead of the next Budget.

BREAKING: Over 40 MPs now back my Parliamentary Motion for a Wealth Tax!

UK billionaire wealth has more than doubled since 2010:

β–ͺ️2010: Β£250 Billion
β–ͺ️2025: Β£620 Billion

You're getting poorer because they're taking more and more.

Ask your MP to back my Wealth Tax Motion ahead of the Budget.
