Yes, I can speak for his Swiss residency-tax implications in the UK, he will only pay tax on UK earnings. So his business dealings, profits, simply money earned inside British territory are taxed by the UK. Switzerland actually has a wealth tax which is increased by an individual's holdings.

Great series, plenty of documentaries about WW2 but very few about how Hitler came to power
Lots of parallels with the current state of the US

Rise of the Nazis
How Hitler seized, kept and fell from power - from the origins of Nazism to the manhunt for the Holocaust's war criminals. Inside the minds of monsters - and those who fought them.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

These new Swizzel’s Squashies Tropical sweets are too firm to be given the Squashies brand, in my opinion. They’re significantly firmer than standard Squashies, and alas I am disappointed.

Always remember that Tories/Reform wanted Brexit so that they could ignore rules that everyone else followed. A race to the bottom. Deregulation. A bonfire of *our* rights and protections. Exploitation and consumer risk so that the wealthy and the powerful could grab more wealth and more power.
