Meet the non-doms fighting Rachel Reeves’s tax raid With chancellor planning tax shake-up in this month’s Budget, Foreign Investors for Britain is trying to affect debate

It's a tax "raid". When you or I pay our income tax it's just a tax. But when a fabulously wealthy millionaire who refuses to contribute to the country whose public services they use (and yes, they use roads, defence, police etc) it's a "raid".

WC will still be going on in September by the time ICE have scrolled through the socials of fans queuing to get into stadiums and they've waited for tornadoes to pass through before kick-off.

The word you're looking for is revolting.

Throw Cash Converters into the metaphor mix, because the players we add will probably be getting pawned back to their original owners at the end of the season.

Have to ask for haddock in an English chippy, like it was caviar or something. Would be SNP if anything.

Excited for the three-week mental decline news cycle to kick into gea—[touches earpiece]

Palestine Action protest arrests rise to more than 500 Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Government has got this spectacularly wrong.

If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it.

But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

The minimum qualifications for joining the MET need looking at…

Relevant to above. That BBC are denied entry is reported as fact of nature, rather than a condition of apartheid occupation. It's then used as an opportunity to call into question the integrity of local journalists on the ground, rather than of the authority denying access

The only reason to kill all of the journalists is that you have terrible crimes to hide

Like hyperventilating over the headlines on Clubcall on Teletext P141. No need.

A photograph of Suleiman al-Obeid, former captain of the Pakestinian national football team, killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food.

I admire Mo Salah's restraint.

"Farewell". Really?

Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

A gloat at the Huns' expense is never wasted.

Radioactive water from UK nuclear bomb base leaked into sea, files show Exclusive: Polluted water was released into loch near Glasgow because Royal Navy failed to maintain 1,500 water pipes, says watchdog

The reckless lack of care at what should be the most secure site in Britain is utterly jaw dropping. Never mind diplomatic talk of “suboptimal” plans & “shortfalls in asset management” - this is a story of unforgivable negligence & cover-up - just shameful

Stop the butts!

"To equivocate, inform and entertain."

Capital, even. You don't fuck with that shit. Hated Gary Lineker for years because of it.

I hope you weren't responsible for changing the default colours of salt'n'vinegar and cheese'n' onion around from green to blue and vice versa, thus challenging one of the immutable Laws of the Universe.

Hat GPT could solve that fecking bin fire of a barnet of his.

So, dressing up as an old-timey Muslim in public facilities - fine. Being an actual Muslim in public facilities - not fine.

I hear Everton got 50% off for Dewsbury Hall because they're a National Trust member.

Looks nose-to-tail out there.

Look on the bright side - you can check out Balder's Gait.

That pic of the sparrow in the fennel is a cracker.

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.
