It feels like more than half in the UK are below average right now!

I think some other countries must be taking all the above average people!

Labour are going after that tax, they have been recruiting thousands more staff at HMRC to go after it and collect billions more of the unpaid tax each year.

The wealthy are paying more of their share under Labour. Through a range of measures, tax receipts are probably going up by £60bn a year - heavily skewed towards the richest, especially the very wealthy.

If anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying to you.

Labour's policies were devised for a country we were in 2024 when they came into power, where net migration was not just record levels, but 3 or 4 times HIGH than usual levels.

Something needed to be done.

Expect quiet softening now it's come down - plenty of options built in to do that.

Says who? The same lying media which produces these fake headlines?

You realise those headlines are all lies? Labour is not and never had abandoned net zero..they remain committed to it and are by far the greenest government the UK has ever seen.

Yet people will believe all this as true...made all the worse as it's not an opinion piece. Not even a news story, but is dishonest and blatant misinformation shared by a once trusted news source.

Another lying article from the Guardian with not a single bit of evidence produced to back up its fake headline.

Labour are the greenest government the UK has ever seen. But a long, long way.

Labour are doing more for the environment than ever before. They remain committed to net zero.

Apparently Labour are taking away workers rights!

That's the shite someone has just posted at me, along with a string of other lies.

This was not a bot. Why do people believe this stuff?

You are literally talking fucking shit mate!

A bunch of outright lies.

Shame on you!

Is anyone is going to be able to fly out of the region at the moment, on any type of plane, private or otherwise?

01.03.2026 14:43 — 👍 4    🔁 0    💬 2    📌 0

Fair question, though that would likely be a minority of people in the region. Lot's there for work, on holiday, or even some who have been caught up in all this while pass through on a longer plane journey.

No one is stopping trying though. There are ways. Efforts are still happening.

That's just the company.

The money obviously went somewhere and they will be tracing it.

The seized assets, for example, can be used if proven connections. And there is more out there that she and her husband have.

Just all needs to be done very carefully if it's going to work.

Longing running National Crime Agency investigation about her and the company.

Court ordered them to pay huge sums back.

Something like £70m of assets seized at the moment.

Slow going because everything has to be completely water tight to make it happen...but stuff is happening.

That's good to hear she is OK.

I've heard other flights are being redirected, so hopefully that's what will happen to your family and that they can still travel.

..and specific wealth taxes already implemented in 18 months of government raising tens of billions of extra money each year...potentially even MORE than expected in the case of some.

And it's allowing for MORE investment in our public services already.

...would instantly solve all our issues.

It won't. It wouldn't. It would be absolutely nightmare to set up, other examples in other countries PROVE it's costly, time consuming and NEVER raise the level of tax people expect it to.

But here we have a government now, with many we'll thought out..

Labour are delivering huge tax rises on the wealthiest and is going after the huge sums of unpaid tax.

It's why we are seeing spending going up and borrowing down.

Yet the Greens peddle the lies that this isn't happening...and come up with pie in the sky ideas of some big generic wealth tax....

Hoping your friend is doing OK today at the airport having seen 1 person has been killed and 11 injured across a couple of airports, including in Abu Dhabi.

The media tell us he is.

The far right know they can only beat him by undermining him.

The far left hate him because he replaced their 'saviour' as leader of the Labour Party.

Yeah, content creators invited to No10 for a (no) press conference on the cost of living.

Able to ask questions and see the PM answer.

Actually decent, well thought out questions asked, on topic, not over paid gossip columnists trying to ask about unrelated things and catch the PM out.

When criticism is based on lies and misinformation, it is no longer criticism, but an act that needs to be called out.

It's dangerous and damaging to our country.

Too many do that and it makes it hard for other people to know the truth.

We must ALL call out all forms of misinformation.

Health service to save millions with boost to electrify NHS fleet Switching the NHS vehicle fleet to electric will save the health service millions and help to decarbonise 460 million miles of travel each year.

It builds on additional scanners announced last year.

The second is funding for 1000 EV chargers for ambulances and other vehicles! This is at least the third announcement supporting the role out of more EVs across the NHS in England.

Great work Labour!
