It's almost as if this was always the plan.

Banking giant threatened to leave UK over mooted tax hike JP Morgan Chase wrote to Rachel Reeves to lobby against rumoured banking surcharge rise ahead of autumn budget

Who Governs?

JP Morgan threatened to quit UK over mooted tax rise for banks.

CEO met Reeves/Starmer, tax didn't rise.

Govt cut benefits, dept budgets; real tax rises for others.

Corporations dodge taxes, bully govts and govern. Curbing their power is essential for any form of democracy.

Hypocrisy writ large!

Seriously?

I see your pinned tweet has at least one error, shall we call it a typo?

Naturally, almost organic!

Past perfect! 🤩

Whilst the MSM love a 'good' misleading headline and enough spin to keep their readers ,'wokeless', we need threads like this to give weight to the counter balance. Thank you Emma.

100%

The trouble with 'the truth' it is usually a typo. Insert 'ir' suffix to 'the'.

Britain should be a welcoming home for those who help us, not a hornet's nest of hate.The immigrant nurse is our sister. The immigrant delivery driver is our brother. Immigrants hold the fabric of our UK together. They're Britain's honorary children. They should be treated with respect!

Max Klinger, a blast from the past.

A genuine and much needed antidote to the attention seeking wrecking balls.

Creepy!

OMG!! Don't give them any ideas!

An abstracted landscape inspired by hikes in the Columbia River Gorge The gorge is moody, misty, windy, tempestuous. Landslides, rock fall, blowdown, fire. Tall cliffs and deep chasms. Waterfalls and boulders. It inspired an entire series of paintings some time back, and continues its influence in much if my abstract work today. And it is one of the most magical, mysterious and challenging places to hike.😁

This morning the world is made of wind,
nearly everything creaking or flying,
even the shingles vainly lifting
as if the house…
were drawing wind into its gills. - Ted Kooser.

Unlikely, but yes. The authorities might make that call should there be a threat to public order and Trump will be convicted over his security v the perceived adulation he craves.

Already we have factory farmed, free range and organic chicken. Cost to the consumer might be a side issue over nutritional aspects, but the ethics of animal husbandry becomes a side issue. Far more complex than single trade deal issues.

Papal politics may just tip the balance.
