2/2 Because then you won’t notice Mr Bamford owes HMRC half a billion pounds in unpaid tax.
Yes Β£500,000,000.
But it’s the family from Syria that’s stopping you getting a doctor’s appointment.

1/2 This is Lord Bamford; he owns JCB. He is one of the very rich people who want you to focus on a refugee in a tiny boat; he is one of the driving forces behind whipping up people to keep you looking β€˜over there.’
Why?

The people who brought you Brexit on a promise of β€˜control’ now threaten civil unrest and frothing racism as govt policy…
For love of god can we just stop listening to anything they have to say. They represent nothing but inadequacy and failure. Surely our country can do better than this.

Tyler, a youth activist with @onepennsylvania.bsky.social, is furious that the rich are getting yet another tax cut at the expense of lifelines for working families like Medicaid and SNAP.

People are appallingly ignorant about immigration.

They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on.

It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.

Rachel Reeves needs to put up taxes to cover Β£40bn deficit, thinktank says NIESR suggests a rise of 5p in the pound on basic and higher rate of income tax would fill the budget gap

So, once again, it will be the people who can hardly afford a rise in taxes to foot the bill, rather than the super-rich who get away with paying very little?
No, no, no! This is NOT how a Labour Government should behave.

But those in Northern Ireland may be exempt thanks to it being in the single Market.
