France had fewer millionaires than UK by 2012 because over 40,000 had left in the previous decade to avoid the wealth tax. Hollande upped the wealth tax in 2012 because it was bringing in so little revenue. The increase failed, encouraged more capital flight. Macron abolished

This is hugely exciting! As someone who grew up going to Reading Museum seeing the replica it will be fascinating to see how the Victorian version changed since the original. A masterpiece made by women. Bayeux Tapestry to return to UK after 900 years bbc.com/news/articles/…

Imagine you ran a business and the top 1% of your customers generated 30% of your income. And then you did everything to make them leave and never come back. Even though they funded your business, you didn’t like them because they were successful. So your business went bust.

Recognising a Palestinian state whilst Hamas still exist is at best virtue signalling and at worst empowering Islamists and our enemies What’s worse is that Starmer calls for Israel to commit to a ceasefire just after Witkoff revealed it was in fact Hamas who weren’t committed

Starmer has come up with the worst possible way to recognise a Palestinian state, which makes the ceasefire he claims to want even less likely than it is now by making it even less attractive to Hamas. By announcing that if a ceasefire is agreed then the UK won't go ahead with

The message here is clear: invade a foreign state, tell the world you will do it again and again, slaughter 1,139 people and take hundreds hostage, and we will reward you with recognition of statehood.

No demand of the Palestinians? Who will run this “state”? Insane demand… Israel cave to Hamas or we will give into Hamas!? What a mess. Purely driven by cynical domestic politics and cabinet showboating.

The ‘logic’ is mind bending 🤦🏻‍♀️

Britain’s prime minster, Sir Keir Starmer, is widely thought to be boring but decent, technocratic but moderate, a bulwark of centrism against the crazies. This is wildly mistaken. He is monstrous. He said today: The UK will recognise the state of Palestine by the United

If we could learn only one thing from Thomas Sowell, this is it.

As a Dual British-Israeli citizen who survived 471 days in Hamas captivity, I am deeply saddened by your decision Keir Starmer to recognise Palestinian statehood. This move does not advance peace—it risks rewarding terror. It sends a dangerous message: that violence earns

Everyone wants peace as soon as possible and the first step towards that is the return of all the hostages. That Keir Starmer has disincentivised the release of hostages is staggering and will simply prolong the war. Shameful.

🗣️ "We want self-determination. We want to stay British". The message from the Chagossian community could not be clearer. The UK Government must step back and re-consider their 'deal'.

Great time being on the ModCons podcast. We talked about the growing culture of intimidation of MPs, the unique nature of the 2024 GE and getting more people in business to think about standing for election 🗳️

Good grief, this is horrendous.

We remember. We honour. We will never forget. Tomorrow, we will join the nation in remembering those who paid the ultimate price, as VJ Day marked the final chapter of WW2. #VJDay80 #LestWeForget

Today marks VJ Day and the end of WWII. We honor the incredible courage and sacrifice of the Allied Forces who served in the Far East and their families. We reflect on the immense price paid for peace and promise to never forget. #VJDay #WWII

What a wonderful sight!

👏 This is an incredible achievement by Katharine, the pupils and all the teachers at Michaela. Will the Education Secretary be congratulating them on their hard work?
