That NARCISSIST in the White House has DESTROYED the country and the people in more ways than one while he and his children are making money hands over fist.
Swathes of UK economy are owned by foreign investors. No tax is deducted from billions paid to them in dividends. USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden have a dividend withholding tax for foreign investors. UK could do the same, generate billions. Why are super-rich privileged?
Here’s how the chancellor can raise the billions needed to improve the quality of life of millions

The Reform UK scare story of a non-white take-over of the UK is pure fantasy ...
So let’s do it and see what happens. Seriously.

Imagine a Vice President of the United States getting a fact-check Community Note that the heckler was right and you are lying. These people just can’t stop lying.
Wages taxed at rates of 20%-45%. Earners also pay national insurance. Capital gains taxed at rates of 18% to 24%. By taxing capital gains at the same rates as wages £12bn to £14bn could be raised. More, if NI charged. Why are workers taxed at higher rates than return on wealth Will the govt act?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr... Tice serving up his usual lying bullshit - he's known about the Bill since Feb of this year and specifically about the retroactive element since it was accepted as an amendment by the gov't in July - a full 2 months ago.
Tice says government trying to 'retrospectively change rules' as Reform receives £72m in donations
Reform UK announced two £36m donations this weekend, as a bill that could change the rules passes through Parliament. It's being debated again in the Lords later.

At what point will his cult see things like this and connect it to their fast-rising cost-of-living? =====================
Student loan terms to be made clearer in England. But there has been decades of mis-selling. Why no compensation? £325bn UK student loan debt, £295bn in England. Most European countries don't charge Uni tuition fees. England does. What chance of buying a home, starting a family?

Changes will spell out that governments can change rules and that career choices affect repayments.

Senile Satan: “Nobody’s ever seen crowds like I got in Ireland.”
Politics for Sale Reform UK received a second £36m donation in as many days, as Thailand-based crypto billionaire matches £36m from another billionaire. Billionaires with criminal record or living abroad buying influence. Normal people people can't compete. Get ready for Farage propaganda blitz.
Reform receives second £36m donation in two days as crypto investor matches record
The party says the money will allow it to fight the next election on a "level playing field", while rivals have renewed calls for donations from individuals to be capped.

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon. What he did was criminal, but basically more stupid than anything. He didn't hurt American citizens. He was just paranoid. Compare to Trumpy who has cost everyone so much, it's not even a fair comparison. Trumpy makes billions while all of us suffer.
A brilliant film. Fishing’s equivalent to The Postmaster. Something smells about this situation. @privateeyenews.bsky.social
🇬🇧 ED MILIBAND: “The British government agrees there is ETHNIC CLEANSING in areas of the West Bank, perpetrated by 🇮🇱 settler terrorists— all too often the 🇮🇱 government has turned a blind eye or supported the forced displacement of Palestinians.” Full: x.com/ed_miliband/...
I just saw that fucking bastard said he was pulled from the rubble on 9/11. 🤬 Any card carrying MAGA want to see what actually happened that day see below. 👇🏻 That effing creep & the Lolita Express he flew in on can FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF. HONEST, RESPECTABLE HUMANS DIED THAT DAY, YOU FUCKER.
This is generally what happens to criminals under investigation. They really think he should be treated differently to the rest of us. He's not special.
LEFT TO RIGHT: Defeated the British, freed the slaves, raped the children. ========================================
A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.
BBC News - Police appeal to woman after Reform UK audience incident - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The Reform Party are quite within their rights to eject people they regard as disruptive, their members are not entitled to assault those people and those involved should be facing charges.
