When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Countries meeting in Brazil for two weeks could manage ONLY a VOLUNTARY agreement to BEGIN discussions on a roadmap to an EVENTUAL phase-out of fossil fuels, and they achieved this INCREMENTAL progress only in the teeth of IMPLACABLE OPPOSITION from OIL-PRODUCING countries.

Petrostates, such as Saudi Arabia, Russia--and the U.S. under Republican rule--are a threat to us and the planet, and must be treated as such.

Jacob Rees-Mogg like Rishi Sunak has registered all his assets in tax havens, because they don't 'belong' to him in the UK they aren't taxed here.
So his tax bill is negligible, he doesn't need to leave to dodge tax.
This con needs to be stopped.

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

Foxhounds are victims too.
Hunts still shoot healthy hounds when they don’t make the grade.
It’s cruel, lazy, and unnecessary, these dogs can be rehomed.
They deserve compassion, not the gun.

Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.
