Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government:

Economics 101: Repeat after me: A fall in the inflation rate does not mean prices are falling overall. It means prices are not rising as fast as they were. But most previous prices rises are baked in and that prices are still rising. Petrol prices at the pump are falling but

You know who LOVES discipline in schools? The 25 other kids in a classroom who AREN'T cussing out their teacher, want to learn, and want the misbehaving kid kicked out of class

His teacher beat him so badly he never went back to school. 🙏🇬🇧 He had a speech impediment. He couldn't even say his own name. He invented the modern world. Michael Faraday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Son of a blacksmith. His family went hungry. No education. No prospects. Nothing. At fourteen

Before Parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Before Magna Carta. Before any of it. England had a room where men could say no to a king. They called it the Witan. The meeting of wise men. Earls. Bishops. Thegns. The most powerful men in England. When the king arrived, he sat with them. Not

How about a full, independent audit of UK finances, like the one happening in the US, so we can see exactly where our tax money is going? If there’s nothing to hide, there should be no problem opening the books Don’t you think we deserve real transparency?

“We knew who they were, who the victims were,” but by the time Maggie Oliver returned to work after her husband died the case had “been buried.” Maggie Oliver has been a whistleblower on the grooming gangs for decades. Watch our interview now.

Never judge a politician by what they say, judge them by what they do. Farage promised to hold a rape gang inquiry, he did nothing. He took the headlines, and did absolutely nothing. Rupert promised to hold a rape gang inquiry, he's doing it. That tells you everything.
