Keir Starmer wanted to be remembered as Prime Minister for building homes. Instead he will be remembered for his complicity in destroying them. #GazaGenocide

Couldn’t be prouder that my doc Coining It won best True Crime at the British Podcast Awards. Testament to the work of brilliant teams at Global and Free Turn, led by Robbie Ashcroft and Ciaran Tracey. Was a privilege of a story to tell- a tale of crime, politics and class.

Failed COVID PPE contracts during the pandemic cost UK public purse £1.4bn. £762m lost - PPE over ordered and defective, delays in checking quality. Govt trying to recover £468m. But some got richer. Would govt snoop on their bank accounts, like it will on benefit claimants?

Businessman Richard Allen exposed a Channel Islands export-import VAT scam used by major retailers, saving taxpayers billions. Despite his detailed evidence, HMRC suppressed it, letting the illegal tax evasion continue for six more years. 🧵1/3

What happens when the UK government tax authority wrongfully accused an innocent woman of massive tax fraud related to contraband smuggling? In Gino’s Contraband, Gabrielle O’Donovan fights to prove her innocence — and exposes a system rigged against the citizen.

Well that's the trouble. We did. We voted out the Tories, only to get a government that now does the same or worse. It's not hard to see why people feel like giving up on politics.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.
