Brilliant piece of analysis by Emma Monk. Again we're supposed to feel sorry for multi millionaires who have for years disparaged the less well off.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn.

Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted.

No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts.

Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019.

Govts chase little people.
Why the UK is a two-tier society where money wields power
Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.

Another of my heroes is gone. Fearsome in the ring gracious outside it. A man to look up to.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Any Irish politician that legitimises Donald Trump by going to the white house for St Patrick's day after that display should be called out for the coward that they are.
