May you find peace in the promise of the solstice night That each day forward is blessed with more light That the cycle of nature, unbroken and true Brings faith to your soul and well-being to you Rejoice in the darkness, in the silence find rest And may the days that follow be abundantly blessed

May you find peace in the promise of the solstice night

That the cycle of nature, unbroken and true
Brings faith to your soul and well-being to you
Rejoice in the darkness, in the silence find rest
And may the days that follow be abundantly blessed

Last night in Leeds, I joined a powerful demo after recent attacks on brown women across the UK. I almost didn’t want to speak — because it’s women’s voices that need to be amplified. But this had to be said. If I say Sarah Everard, most people know that name. If I say Sabina Nessa, far fewer do

Are Reform UK getting donations from a tax exile - or has this guy just failed to fulfil his promise to leave the UK? (As most of them do). Via Private Eye:

Nigel Farage and his Reform UK treasurer (and former tax exile) Nick Candy must be relieved that one of their more generous donors doesn’t keep his promises.

“I’m moving – that is it,” Nigerian-born businessman Bassim Haidar told the Guardian in May last year after the previous government announced the end of the “non-dom” tax regime (following which chancellor Rachel Reeves enacted the changes). “What’s the logic of me living in the UK when other countries are offering no taxes at all?” he wondered. “In Monaco there are no taxes, and no inheritance tax.” He was reported to have established a “working group” of 29 non-doms looking to up sticks before the start of the September 2024 school year.

Latest political donation declarations, however, show that Haidar gave Reform UK £200,000 in April this year. As laws introduced in 2009 require donors of such sums to be “resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled in the United Kingdom for the purposes of income tax”, it seems the entrepreneur has opted to stay put.

For yet another erstwhile non-dom, when push comes to shove, life in a country with a tax system turns out to be preferable to tax haven tedium
