What if Andy Burnham could raise £15bn – without a tax rise?
There's one catch. He'd need to solve the UK’s biggest and least-discussed tax problem.
Almost half of all small business corporation tax isn't being paid - and nobody knows why.

Daily Mail takes pics from individuals' social media accounts, slaps a "false credit" over the image (e.g., "(c) instagram") and never pays to license the images unless/until they're caught, according to a new class action filed today.
Reform is sinking in the polls and losing every national contest that gets real scrutiny. Zia Yusuf won’t deny failing to be selected as a candidate. Farage’s £5m gift won’t go away. This is the same corruption blueprint Orban, Trump, Erdogan and Bolsonaro all followed to power.
It’s outrageous that Jenny Jones is left begging the Lords to listen to the science.
Every MP and member of the HOL should be forced to listen to a briefing from the chief scientist and other UK leading scientist on the realities of climate change and what is coming towards us.
This broadcast should also be made to the public.
This is an insane insane situation

The German AfD shows, once again, that it is a fascist party serving Nazi Russia. Naturally, it is backed by Russia's friends Vance and Elon Musk.
The AfD is strongest in former East Germany, an area that after WW2 was switched from Nazi totalitarianism to Soviet totalitarianism. East Germany was never denazified.
The Russian war criminal that sat in US prison before Putin traded him for innocent Americans is now being praised by Tucker Carlson, the man that will truly do ANYTHING for cash.
I called Tucker Carlson a POS and he wasted no time proving me correct.
Today he interviewed Viktor Bout, a former GRU spy who was convicted to 25 years for conspiring to kill Americans. Viktor attempted to sell surface to air missiles to a terrorist organization. His nickname was the “merchant of death.” Tucker, as usual sat there nodding like an imbecile while a killer propagandized the American public.
Tucker doesn’t care that he is a tool for Kremlin propaganda, the money is good. His moral compass cannot find true north. It can only find the highest bidder.
Tucker Carlson interviews notorious Russian arms dealer and Putin ally Viktor Bout
He didn't question or criticise Putin once in the interview
Is it really that obvious? Are there people who really cannot see what is going on here with Carlson?
I feel like Im going insane
Producing Chinese cars in Germany for the German and European customers means the end of German automobile industry as we knew it & the total subjugation by death of thousand cuts. Industries will be hollowed out from within following the same model. All of it is self-inflicted!
“I have been against gay marriage from the standpoint of the bible.”
This is from a piece of shit who cheated on all three wives, including screwing a porn star while wife number three was nursing their newborn infant son.
There is no doubt at all that Brexit harmed the NHS, creating:
* Staff shortages
* Increased costs
* Supply issues
It’s no surprise that 2 in 3 people are keen to reverse that mistake.
Does that include you?
And if so, why?
One of the most vile fascists we've had in Parliament for a long time. Utterly deluded, racist and just a deeply unpleasant person. #NeverReform#Reform
Today, no one on Earth can say that we are not fighting for Crimea or that we have forgotten about Crimea. Every day proves that Ukraine remembers every part of its land, every one of its people, and is truly fighting to ensure justice for our entire state and every integral part of it.
Russia brought its war to Ukraine, starting nowhere other than Crimea, and now, with our actions – medium-range sanctions against the Russian occupier, our long-range sanctions plan, and all other forms of pressure on the aggressor – we are doing everything to force Russia to end the war and restore justice. And it is Crimea that is at the center of this policy of ensuring justice. Russia turned Crimea into a launchpad for aggressive operations against other parts of our country and against other nations. For a very long time, Russia has tried to normalize its war – to make Ukraine, all of Europe, and the world accept that its aggression supposedly cannot be stopped and that justice supposedly cannot be restored.
Today, Ukraine is depriving Russia of this launchpad and drawing a line under its attempts to normalize war. And in doing so, we remember that justice for Ukraine also means justice for the Crimean Tatar people – a people forced to endure deportation and decades of oppression, a people who were able to return to their homeland, but whose home the Russians tried to steal again, a people who have preserved their vitality and remain an inseparable part of our society.
Today, as we honor the blue banner with the golden tamğa – this proud flag that unites the entire Crimean Tatar people – we affirm that Ukraine is fighting for itself and all its lands, defending justice for itself and all its people – for everyone who calls Ukraine and our Crimea their home. We must stop Russian aggression. We must bring freedom back to all those who are currently in Russian captivity. We must guarantee security and a reliable peace for the entirety of our state and all our people.
Qırımtatar Milliy Bayraq künü hayırlı olsun!
Glory to Ukraine!
Dozens of Israelis from the country’s security, political and cultural elite have threatened legal action against their government over support for Jewish terrorism and an “ideology of ethnic cleansing” in the occupied West Bank, according to a leaked letter.
Two former prime ministers, former heads of all the Israeli security services, former judges, a Nobel laureate and the country’s most revered living novelist were among the signatories to a “final warning” over violence against Palestinians.
