The UK & other rich countries just gifted U.S. corporations’ a major exemption from int'l tax rules.

The UK was already haemorrhaging an estimated $9 billion a year to tax-cheating US megacorps.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

THIS is what Trump had to say about how drug pricing negotiations happened.

He is laughing at the UK and so many other countries who accepted huge price hikes. How utterly humiliating for Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting.
