I’m from Middlesbrough and it stinks. We all saw the picture on social media of the son one of the main contractors who profited from our tax £££s picking up the keys his £300k Lamborghini from Acklam Cars.
Shameless.
Bravo to Private Eye for keeping on at this.

It makes me want to scream that Labour could have been boldly progressive, radical even with their decisions, but instead went for cruelty and bigotry wrapped up in poor politics.

In 2015 Cameron won an overall majority, and it was thrown away by May in 2017 because of Brexit.

In 2019 Johnson won a thumping majority, and yet he was out of office less than three years later.

In 2024 Starmer won a thumping majority and seems to have no idea what to do with it.

It's up to the Americans to discover Trump is an insane criminal.

The rest of the world already knows. The rest of the world doesn't owe him respect, deference or allegiance.
The BBC’s editing of Trump’s January 6 speech caused controversy – but what did he really say?
The scandal has provided Trump another avenue to attack the media, and to relitigate his involvement in January 6

There should be no billionaires. Nobody "needs" to be, and they do immense harm in the world.

Why isn't individual wealth, not just taxed but actually CAPPED, so nobody can become a billionaire?

Go for it, governments!
