In a recent Podcast with Gabriel Zucman he mentioned countries should develop a US style tax, where even if you leave you pay tax, you have benefited from all the societal structures to make money & if you needed help, your home country would come to your aid( like the recent flights from Dubai).

To cover up 1 high level report into nature collapse & national security looks odd. To cover up 2 looks like a pattern. Episode 2 of my @therestpolitics.bsky.social pod explores a hidden DEFRA report on UK vulnerability to food shocks & asks how confident we can be in our ability to feed ourselves

"US spy tech giant Palantir paid an effective tax rate of just 8% on their £25.3m UK profits. Most companies with profits above £250,000 pay 25%. How is a company that’s won £670m in UK public contracts (including a massive £330m NHS deal) able to dodge our tax rules? " via 38 degrees
I WON’T be rejoining the Labour Party. I wish Andy Burnham well & want nothing but to see Britain turn a corner & for things to improve for everyone…but @zackpolanski.bsky.social & @greenparty.org.uk hold more of the ideals & policies that align with mine. I DO think they’ll need each other, mind.

🥵 The UK is sweltering under extreme heat. Disrupted trains. School closures. Hospitals under pressure. Yet some politicians want to abandon action that would prevent these extreme heatwaves in the future. Tell the next Prime Minister: don't row back on tackling climate change.🙏
The weather isn't the only thing making Farage sweat today 🥵
The next PM could - and in my view should - properly stick it to Trump (as Meloni has just done); announce a plan to undo Brexit; put immigration to bed for at least one electoral cycle; take their government off Twitter; unequivocally condemn Netanyahu & resurrect Leveson 2… A boy can dream.
