Left: Nadhim Zahawi pays a £5 million fine for a 'non deliberate' and 'careless' offence, 'a misdemeanour'

One person who accidentally avoids paying millions in tax gets a…

Epic community noting… 👌🏽

This is an incredible illustration of how completely bent the Tories are & how completely commonplace it is now. Here, they’re saying, is a ‘scandal’ we have kept secret for four years - please use it to attack Labour, who knew absolutely nothing about it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Lesson to Labour…

If you lie down with dogs,

You get up with fleas.

I open this app to catch up with the news…

I close it having seen yet more dead children

Again

And tomorrow there will be more

The world has lost its f*cking mind

And Biden is a f*cking disgrace.

Gary Lineker says what UK Media refuses to:

“It’s not antisemitic to say what Israel does is wrong. There’s a lot of heavy lobbying on people to be quiet. Its the worse I have seen in my lifetime: the constant images of Palestinian children being killed. I can’t be silent.'

“We could be looking at the gradual Judaizing of our country. We do not want a bunch of Jewish councillors dictating British foreign policy.”

Just imagine if someone said that on UK television. Their career, rightly!, would be over. That show canceled.

But it’s Muslims so 🤷🏽‍♂️

Spare a thought for “Jane”, Charlie Elphicke’s alleged rape victim. She spent years being ignored by the Tories and getting love by the PLP — only for the two parties to perform a self interested waltz and adopt the other’s position last week.

Thankfully the Sunday Times…

Utterly pathetic

US finds Israel’s use of weapons in Gaza ‘inconsistent’ with human rights law, but will not cut flow of arms theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

I woke up tired, after another week of pushing back on stupid legislation from the Govt, but Gary Lineker speaking out is a bright point for today.

If you want a good example of how power works in Britain, just consider how many broadsheet front pages are devoted to the relatively trifling problems of private schools by comparison to the day-to-day and long term problems faced by the state sector (where the vast majority of…

Groan.
Our Govt is full of idiots. Rationality and common sense doesn't exist for them.
Every measure they dream up makes things worse. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Jacob Rees-Mogg…

So full of conviction

So full of shit.

Last week, Rees-Mogg claimed that tax breaks aren’t subsidies and challenged me to do my homework. Well, I did. Turns out, the Subsidy Control Act 2022, a piece of Brexit legislation, was passed when you were Brexit minister and it clearly states tax breaks are subsidies... Time…

Looks like Liz Truss’s newest friend is going to prison…

Nadhim Zahawi’s SLAPP has now resulted in disciplinary action for his lawyer.

A thread on why it happened, and what it means - for the lawyer, for SLAPPS, and for Zahawi himself.

Had a glorious time doing this. What a class act they are.

Superb report by Dan Whitehead. Key points:

Brexit screwed different farmers in different ways
13,000 people have left sector in last 5 years
Average age of a farmer is now 70
Post-Brexit deals threw sector under the tractor

That farmer, trying not to cry at the end, broke me. ~AA
