Trump effectively pulls US out of global corporate tax deal with 140 countries.
The idea was to check corporate tax dodges, require multinationals to pay 15% global corporate minimum tax.
What will the EU and UK do?
Green light to profit shifting, enrich few, impoverish many.

Trump effectively pulls US out of global corporate tax deal
President Donald Trump on Monday declared that a global corporate minimum tax deal "has no force or effect" in the U.S., effectively pulling America out of the landmark 2021 arrangement negotiated by the Biden administration with nearly 140 countries.

Labour’s sacking of Louise Haigh really does show who really runs the UK: Right Wing Media. Haigh was given a conditional order of discharge - basically magistrates saying “don’t do this again, and that’s the end of it” - 10 years ago. It’s about the same level as getting a speeding ticket.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
