122 pay £0 tax because they aren't even registered in the UK at all, most of the other 55 while pay £0 as well, none will pay more than 20%.

Today is publication day of This Time No Mistakes! A high investment economy and accompanying strong society have to be purposefully created. Capitalism does not self-organise to deliver the common good. It has to be proactively managed and society curated. We must do better.

If you can follow the convoluted arrangements at Teesworks you're a better man than me. It seems 'Ben's friends' only investment is with taxpayers money.

Tory Minister commits libel using her private 'X' account and taxpayers pick up the £34k tab.

Jeez. It isn't even hidden anymore...

I've always suspected something like this goes on - it's clear that 'client journalism' is a thing - but it's still mad to see it written down.

Farmer Henry Ward, 'I literally can't believe it. I stood on the bridge with the Chairman of the Environment Agency, the Minister for Flooding, NFU president, looking at 2,000 acres of land with 2 meters of water on it. It didn't even cross my mind that I wouldn't be eligible for…
