According to this narcissistic crusty orange asshole, Rob Reiner and his wife died because they spoke out against trump. He's demonstrating, once again, his god like ability to determine the facts with no evidence. It's not all about you, asshole.

No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues.
No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020.
Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare.
85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.
