Starbucks UK received a £13.7 million tax credit despite rising sales, because royalty fees paid to its parent company wiped out its UK profits. This is the same mechanism used by multinationals for decades to reduce UK tax liability while profiting from UK consumers and workers.
The Zucman research on corporate tax avoidance identified exactly this pattern.
Is this acceptable - or should the law change?

What is it about the the bond markets that the Telegraph’s billionaire owners love so much?
We need a government which sets the terms, the people’s terms, and an elected plan, not the interests of the 1%.
Change is coming.
🧵 As if Suella Braverman using the death of a teenager as a photo op isn't bad enough, she conveniently covered up the logo of the group behind this "vigil": Remigration Now, who would want to deport her, and whose leader said Hitler was "misunderstood". 😳
Mr Walsh, your lad pleaded guilty because he committed a crime, and was caught on camera doing it. I don't care that he has no previous convictions or that he has a job. He should have thought about that before rioting. Let whatever his fait is on Monday be a lesson to all morons like him. Don't listen to those that incite violence, and don't get involved in it. #FarageRioters #FarageRiots #Southampton
JUST IN: ALBANIAN PM EDI RAMA SAYS NOTHING CAN STOP HIS DEAL TO SELL PROTECTED COASTLINE TO TRUMP SON-IN-LAW JARED KUSHNER
"Not 5,000 protesters in the streets, not even 500,000 protesters can stop me."
And only, like, four of them are Reform UK councillors. 🤦♂️

Military attacks on nuclear facilities are a disturbing new theme of conflicts worldwide.
The environmental risks of these attacks are enormous, and the security liability of these facilities is poorly acknowledged in the debate on nuclear power.
LINDSEY GRAHAM: “I go back to S.C. and I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East. To all the isolationists: I’m not with you, I’m with Israel. God bless Israel. We should move all of our stuff to Israel.”
He actually said this on live television.
BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.
And it gets even better...
According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.
The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.
The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.
Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.
The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.
But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.
We stand with Albania!
Kushner out! Ivanka out!
Do you stand with the Albanian people?
Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!
