…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…
…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

“The truth is that Reform has no long-term answers for the structural, economic and geostrategic problems Britain faces. It has been, until now, held together by hate”
It cannot fix the problems we face because it’s a symptom of those problems, not a cure.

They lose a trillion litres of water to leaky pipes. Dump sewage in rivers for 4m hours. Customers fleeced.
None has its licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Corporate fines are not collected

Dan Norris, elected as Lab MP, arrested - 2 counts of rape.
Tulip Siddiq sentenced to 4 years.

For the record, I was an advisor to Ed Miliband's Labour Party on tax policy, I strongly support a wealth tax, and I am aware of a viable and fully costed proposal to implement one in the UK.
Amazing interview attacking Polanski as a "fantasist" "selling unicorns".
But Polanski has not said "squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything that we want and everything that we need.” He has simply argued, as many tax economists do, for a wealth tax.
So who is the fantasist?
