HMRC are giving 1 million people a £100 penalty for filing their tax returns late, even if they don't owe ANY tax.

Nadhim Zahawi dodged £3m in tax and repeatedly lied about it for 6 years.

All HMRC did was make him pay the interest on it.

Hard on you, a joke for them.

Private equity owns lion’s share of children’s foster services in England, ‘bleeding the sector of money’.

Profits margins of 19%. Money extracted in interest payments, intragroup charges. Children suffer.

“For too long these women who make such a huge & valuable contribution to society - as well as being the mothers,the sisters & daughters of loved ones, have been made to feel invisible - that they don’t count, with a health system unable to guarantee them the care & support they so desperately need”

To add to the below, Ben Smoke over on X has produced the attached articulate thread.

Karen Pollock invokes the sanctity of Holocaust Memorial Day while directly contradicting the HMD organisation’s own statement of the purpose of the day.

She is not fit for purpose.

Honestly whenever I hear that argument about why UBI should be restricted to poor people, I hear "why should libraries or public schools be free for rich people?". Because it's a thousand times easier to implement a universal benefit and tax the shit out of wealthy to pay for it, ya numbnuts.

Too often, a loud minority claims to speak for women. But women are diverse - and most of us reject the idea that feminism means exclusion.

This campaign gives women a platform to show that we will not be misrepresented.

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

This is David Marsh. He went to my old school.

He is one of the small number of European troops who went to Afghanistan and never did much nor went to the front line according to Donald Trump.

He died in 2008 aged 23 in Afghanistan when the patrol car he was in was blown up in Helmand Province.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I'm increasingly convinced that if social media existed in the 1930s Germany, there would be endless videos of Jews being hauled out of their homes while people watched like this. People let this happen because they can't fight the state and it effectively encourages learned helplessness.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
