Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists. They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch. But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss. Thread:

Sheep detectives at Thames Valley Police say they are no longer investigating the suspected theft of sheep from a farm near Chadlington*. They say: “The report was found to be the result of an accidental miscount by farm staff. All sheep have since been accounted for.” * yes, it was ewe-know-who.

If anyone can successfully count the sheep, the curse that bedevils the village of Chadlington will be lifted. Photo by Andrea Lightfoot at unsplash.com

This US far-right infiltration of Britain should be of more concern to us all, but particularly the British government than it is. It is an obvious reason why we shouldn't be using Palantir for anything at all. They're as much a threat to our National Security as China or Russia.
