Britain has a tax on instruments that don’t exist any more.

It raises no revenue. It never applies. It was meant to be abolished this year, but wasn't.

It still exists.

Anyway, I made a chart of all 85 UK taxes.

After 18 months of “standing up to Putin” the Labour govt quietly issued a licence allowing imports of Russian oil refined in third countries.

Yesterday Labour MPs voted AGAINST UK oil and gas licences.

We are now importing from Russia instead of drilling in the North Sea.

Insane.

Southwark’s Planning Chair opposed a 860+ home development because locals couldn’t afford the new homes.

Bio bought four properties in Gambia since becoming first lady, and has use of the presidential palace. Meanwhile, there are 18,000 people on Southwark's housing waiting list. Someone is living in a B&B so this family can keep a pied a terre in London.

A few new bits (stone paving, new trees and benches) plus remove cars and voila, a street goes from meh to somewhere you want to linger. Well done @RBKC

@AdamCC92 You jest, but this is exactly what they did in Sweden. Hard to imagine a bigger downgrade.

The elections are over. How can new councillors and councils improve prosperity and productivity, health and happiness in their little slice of Britain? Here’s the good news. Despite everything, they can. Here are five suggestions which I wrote up today in @ConHome …

It’s one of the greatest reductions of liberty over the last century and nobody knows about it. The simple liberty to walk around the street outside your house has been lost. And it’s not coming back anytime soon.
