RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.

The average billionaire in the UK is paying 11% tax. That is less than a person on the minimum wage.

Benefit cheats could be stripped of driving licences. Someone innocently exceeding the Carer's earning limit is charged with fraud, can't drive, many not be able to work, can't support family, needs more benefits. Hawks are appeased No equivalent sanctions for tax abusers, launderers, real crooks

A proposed new law will also give ministers greater powers to request bank account information.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.
