Was Brexit all for nothing? 🤣

HMRC failed to collect £59.2bn (tax gap) in taxes last year, £6.4bn increase.

Small businesses accounted for 62% of the tax gap.

£500bn+ not collected since 2010.

Offshore tax gap data not released.

Silence on taxes avoided through profit shifting.

I do not take pleasure in anyone losing their job, but the public is fed up with Downing Street's revolving door of failure.

Starmer had no tears for the children of Gaza being used as target practice by Israel, but gets emotional over losing his political power.

His legacy will not be one of change, but of broken promises.

He dragged his feet while child poverty soared. Aided and bankrolled Israel's genocidal machine. Punished pensioners, disabled people and migrants. Regurgitated Enoch Powell's Island of Strangers rhetoric. Threw friends and allies under the bus to extend his own political shelf life amidst the Mandelson saga.

Labour, like the Conservatives, are playing musical chairs with their leaders while our country needs stability.

We need a politics that puts people before party machines and career politicians.

Until then, it's just another episode of Westminster's longest-running soap opera, whilst ordinary people pay the price.

Corbyn's spokesperson said: "Keir Starmer ends as he started: with lies.
"Corbyn turned Labour into the largest party in Europe, built and funded by half a million people who believed in social justice and peace.
"Starmer swapped political principles for corporate donors - and leaves behind a legacy of broken pledges, grotesque inequality and complicity in genocide. If that isn’t moral bankruptcy, then what is?"

Holy sh*t, this dude @JonathanPieNews thoroughly OBLITERATED trump, and it is glorious.

Definitely worth a watch.🔥🔥

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only US President to be outwitted by a single-celled organism.

Trumpian censorship in the UK

Teacher, librarians under pressure to remove books on race, identity, social justice from libraries.

200 titles pulled from one Greater Manchester school library, including books by Black authors.

What are we becoming?

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.

It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.
