Starbucks paid zero tax in 2025 on sales of £556.3m. They got a £13.7m tax credit instead.
What's the benefit of having Starbucks in the UK?
Either tax them on their sales or give the sites to independent British cafes instead.
Stop letting foreign multinationals plunder our country.
The Government can't afford £2,000,000 a year to fund the Jodrell Bank space telescope.
Yet we send Pakistan, a country with a space-program £133,000,000 in foreign aid every year.
🚨BREAKING: The BBC have CONFIRMED that over 500,000 households have CANCELLED their TV Licence in the last 12 months 🇬🇧
That’s what you get for being a propaganda arm for the UK government 👍
Oh the irony. Virgin now proved to have been screwing the nation over broadband, and stopped people fixing. Nice to see Ofcom showing teeth with the fine. Lets hope that starts a trend.
In Sydney, Australian police kicked out a group of Muslims who had taken over and blocked a street to ‘pray’.
“Public streets are not mosques.”
That’s how you handle it! Nobody does this shit in Muslim countries. They only do it in the West to assert dominance.
THEY ARE BASTARDS!
We just got an email sent to MSE. The spelling was awful, and it was quite tough to understand. Lower down, the writer later explained she was 78 and her disability had stopped her being able to spell. So perhaps it is a stroke, or something similar.
I've tidied it and summarised below, changing some identifying details. In a nutshell, it was this...
"I invested, Martin, with Quotum when you first announced it on TV. What an opportunity for me to buy my own flat. My manager there passed me through to a nice man who asked me for £350 more. He showed me it was growing. I did what he told me to do."
She then goes on to explain how she really wanted her flat and she gave more and more money. And she has nothing left to help with her disability.
I'm honestly in tears typing this. These types of scam ads have now been going on for a decade. I have spent my career trying to help people with their finances. It feels visceral to get this, and to feel that this reputation has been perverted by criminals to steal from someone who is clearly so vulnerable leaves me feeling nauseous.
So many people, both vulnerable and not, lose money and see their lives and wellbeing destroyed. It's now seven years since I sued Facebook. And yet still nothing is being done.
Big tech makes £3bn a year from these scammers. We have a law in place to make them responsible for these ads they're paid to publish, yet it isn't implemented. How many more of these do I have to receive - and far worse, how many more people have to go through this?
This is relentless. It is wrong. Government has to take action! I wrote to the PM just two weeks ago on this very issue. I've not heard back yet.
(We are, of course, going to try and point her in the right direction to get help, but that will be stressful for her too)
U are a pathetic, weak, embarrassment of a PM whom is making us a laughing stock to the world, sides with Communists, supports terrorists & extremists.
Full of scandal & corruption.
We must not be an ideological country that u are causing divide.
Stop hating GB.
Shape up of FO!
