Swathes of UK economy are owned by foreign investors. No tax is deducted from billions paid to them in dividends. USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden have a dividend withholding tax for foreign investors. UK could do the same, generate billions. Why are super-rich privileged?

I'm so tired of ads for shitty sports betting apps and online casinos and I swear I hear them every time I turn on the radio or the TV. This is the shit that desperately needs to be regulated.

Maybe it came a tad too late, but the pivot from "Trump whisperer" (when Trump was seen as a difficult but powerful NATO partner to keep on board) to "defender of Italian dignity" (when Trump is seen as an unreliable loser and association with him as an electoral risk) has been masterful.

This column by the former Brexit minister is near-incomprehensible. Like a series of words generated at random. But somewhere buried deep in there, David Frost seems to be admitting he was wrong. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04...

In years to come, the way Tesla’s brand went from conscientious to toxic will be studied in marketing and PR circles. Brand toxicity will lead to reduced sales which in turn will kill the share value. All because Elon didn’t have friends as a kid.
