It would be interesting to know who is going to pay for the Universal Basic Income. Certainly not the big US digital corporations who will be making 95% of the money. And the UK will continue to be pressured to keep other taxes as low as possible. Wishful thinks.

The shocking #IPPscandal was highlighted on BBCNewsnight this week. It’s one of the most cruel, inhumane and monumental injustices of the past half-century.

This👇. Worth reading to understand how Reform’s plans would benefit the wealthy while reducing the social safety net. Sounds an awful lot like what Trump is doing in America, taking away benefits and reducing taxes on the wealthy.

Portsmouth International Port contributed £195m to the local economy, providing thousands of jobs while contributing £10.8m into the council’s coffers.

“Bit by bit, Britain is being broken by a Brexit that has left families worse off, that has meant less money available to invest in public services like the NHS.
