I love the clear message on these billboards. I hope they raise awareness and more people question their loyalty to RF.

Every time I visit Italy ( I am in Sicily) I feel the loss. Europe was our natural home — law, culture, trade, defence, shared purpose. We walked away on the promises of Johnson and Farage. They sold pride and delivered poverty. #faragetaxes

While the Queen was on the throne, it was a different matter.
With her passing it's time to ask - perfectly reasonably - who the institution of monarchy serves and whether this one family should rule over us all in perpetuity... with almost zero accountability

On the Queen's passing, Charles should have paid over £260m in inheritance tax. But he didn't - the monarch is exempt. It's one rule for them, another for the public.

It costs a family almost 3× more to visit Buckingham Palace than the Palace of Versailles in France - even though very little is actually open to the public at the former.
Our taxes aren't enough for them.

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle.
But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵
