Don't confuse "wealth" with "super-wealth". The wealthy already pay their fair share because their wealth generally comes from earnings. But the super-wealthy pay nothing because they earn very little on paper. They instead make money with their money — which isn't taxed because we only tax earnings

If only they held Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nigel Farage etc accountable, in the same way, they held Professor Arday, we might not have had Brexit, Reform Party, Farage as an MP and the other two would be under investigation for the treasury being £10bn lighter.

You can't claim you're not a publisher when you decide what people see, pay people to create content, and build the AI tools that generate it. That's editorial control. That's publishing. And publishers can be held responsible for what they distribute. Shut down X unless it complies with UK law.

The UK Treasury is losing £90bn a year due to Brexit, and UK GDP has fallen by 6-8%. Farage was happy to claim credit for Brexit. He should also claim credit for the economic damage.

It’s no wonder the majority of the public want to rejoin the EU - isolation has cost us our freedoms and has devestated the economy. The future must be European if we are serious about repairing the damage.
“I do not believe that anybody voted for 1.8 million fewer jobs to be created in our economy, or for 16,000 businesses to give up on trading with Europe because the basic consequence of Brexit was paperwork. I do not believe that anybody in this country really wanted those outcomes.”

What is it that people expect from deporting people? Because it won't lower House prices or rents. And it won't make food or energy cheaper. There won't be more jobs and they certainly won't pay better. At what point do you realise it is going to achieve nothing?
