What about going after tax avoiders? Every year, HMRC, by its own estimates, fails to collect 46.8 billion of tax. See webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/202606... How about hiring more people to retrieve this avoided tax before suggesting cutting welfare to the poorest and most vulnerable?

4 October 1936. Battle of Cable Street took place in Cable Street, Whitechapel, London. It was a clash between the Metropolitan Police, protecting a march by the British Union of Fascists (BUF) led by Sir Oswald Mosley and various anti-fascist and Jewish demonstrators.

Breaking: It’s being rumoured that Suella Braverman has advised the Croatian FA to appeal against their 7-0 defeat by England as 4 of the goals were scored by players who aren’t English.

Good explainer from Richard Murphy. The State Pension (inc Triple Lock) isn't the issue. The blanket tax relief everybody inc the ultra wealthy enjoy on pension contributions could, if adjusted, deliver £bn's in extra treasury funds. Rich, rw media & gov't... silence. youtu.be/BfcjgWXk36c

The OAP triple lock isn’t a problem. The cost of pension tax relief is.

The wastage in government agencies must be staggering. Just received a hard copy letter from Dept for Work and Pensions telling me I qualify for State Pension at 67. Nothing to do now. They will write to me 4 months prior. It's more than 7.5 years away. Just why?

Deloitte paid its UK-based partners £1.125m. Firm has 784 equity partners. Due to self-employed status of partners, employer national insurance (ENI) is not paid on profits shared. 150,000 ENI avoided on every £1m of profits shared. Billions lost across the country. Must end this privilege.

I've just been told in the pub: 1) a disgrace those terrorists have been bailed whilst hero Danny Thommo is left to rot in jail when he's done absolutely nothing. 2) the American people love Trump. He only gives jobs to true Americans and looks after his own. And there we have it.....

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.
