How does Boris Becker get a jail term for tax evasion but Nadhim Zahawi just gets to pay the £3m tax he owes with no further consequence? Yet it's barely even mentioned in the MSM? UK isn't a normal country at all, corruption is rife.

Every year our taxes go up, deliberately, more and more. No matter who is in government. Don't believe Tories OR Labour when they say they're not raising taxes on workers because both have, are and will do until at least 2028.
My view is irrelevant I'm afraid. This and the last governments fiscal drag policy to freeze allowances isn't an 'accident that needs highlighting' it is a deliberate, overt way to raise money. Done as a route so parties can say "we're not raising taxes" but doing it through the back door. This is why when people ask me to campaign on it, they miss an important point. My main campaign strength is shining a light on unknown or little spoken of areas of financial injustice. This isn't one. Its absolute known, central and core, by everyone in politics and in economics. I have certainly done my best to raise awareness of the practical impact in public. I've covered it in my budget shows and asked chancellors about it. Yet this is an absolutely central plank of govt policy - campaigning by me will have no effect, this is a policy for the electorate to deal with. I will continue to ensure the public understand what is happening, what fiscal drag means, and its impact when i can though.

A boost? Production dropping 0.8% is abysmal. 0.1% doesn't make a difference to everyday people. It just continues the trend of teetering on the edge of recession
BREAKING: The economy unexpectedly grew in grew by 0.1 per cent in the fourth quarter. Economists had predicted a Q4 contraction on back of no growth in Q3, so this a surprise boost for Labour which is putting all its efforts into trying to boost the economy. Had been talk of recession headlines today if contraction in Q4 and the zero growth Q3 revised down

Why don't these people actually put out a statement and engage with fans then? Whoever runs their PR needs sacking because it's abysmal and makes them look like clowns even though they don't own the club

The comments 😂 this is for Michelin starred food. Of course your weekly Iceland shop is likely cheaper Karen but not everyone wants a cheap frozen roast dinner to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Every Michelin restaurant where you can get a meal for less than £50 - including a Tom Kerridge pub ⬇️

Why is this even a thing? If we shouldn't walk over club badges then perhaps, I don't know, stop putting them in places where they're most likely to be walked over

Billionaires should not be given a place in any government unless they're elected to do so. Such a clear conflict of interest, it's incredible really. Who's Musk accountable to in exchange for getting access to government & no doubt promoted personal business interests.

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC Are Hamas an awful organisation? Of course, yes. That's why they're classed in the same group as one founded in Syria/Iraq. However, when are people going to start looking at root cause? Why were Hamas formed? Hild Israel to account & stop making it so easy for them to recruit.

Can't even laugh at City. They're at least in the CL and competing. We're playing Europa and fighting for 10th place in the league

@ChrisWheelerDM @NathSalt1 @LMorgan21 @MailSport Players didn't perform under a 4231. I don't want to hear about their doubts. If they can't play the system, they need to find a new club. Simple as that.

The irony of a President referring to somebody as 'crooked' when he's the first and only president to be a convicted felon and hold office

@FootyAccums Ten Hag was never allowed to use injuries as a reason and he won 2 trophies. Media didn't hold back against him.
