@torstenbell.bsky.social as you are part of the treasury, here's an idea a .5%charge on turnover of all online businesses that don't have premises so john Lewis would be excluded but Amazon would pay.

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Burnham blames Brexit for dividing Britain. Can the rift be healed? Tories want to deport 40k foreign law breakers - but what if we get British crooks deported from foreign jails by return? And will Labour’s Nature Restoration Fund do anything to restore nature? 📞0345 6060973 x

And yet she can't persuade her own colleagues and government to get the eff off X 🙄
ulture Secretary Lisa Nandy branded Elon Musk’s X “disgusting” for swerving a summit about social media attacks on the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. She fumed to the Electoral Dysfunction podcast that while other firms took part, X failed to turn up or even reply to the invite. “I think it says a lot about how they see their — well, how they don’t see that they [have] a moral and social set of responsibilities to us all.”

The “fraud” allegation against Arday is gone. Regular “fabulist” is fading. What is left is his paranoid reaction to the two academics hounding him for three years — calling the police, engaging Carter Ruck. “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you”

I still find this extraordinary. With every other alleged deception I’ve ever investigated the burden of proof is this — prove that x/y/Boris Johnson deliberately. With Jason Arday the burden of proof has been completely reverse — prove he was telling the truth. Madness.

Of the 33 peer reviewed and highly successful papers Jason Arday produced, only two have been challenged. They were cleared once. They will be cleared again. But of those two only 3% has been cited as problematic. So 3% of 7% of his output. Can anyone do the math that makes Arday a plagiarist?
