[Channel 4 Dispatches @C4Dispatches]

The Royals make millions in profit each year, but this has always been shrouded in secrecy, until now.

A joint @C4Dispatches and @thetimes investigation reveals that the King and Prince William are receiving public money through leasing property to public services like the NHS.

@mrstomlinstan @DrFrancesRyan You keep asking for evidence, see below. You can see she is not speaking up for other women and girls, always punching down.

The moment Rachel Reeves announces a 50% hike in passenger duty for private planes

Looking directly at Rishi Sunak as she states this is equivalent to £450 on a flight to say "California"

'Was this before or after you'd spent £370 million on it?'

@Kategarraway challenges @RobertJenrick over his comments that everyone in the Cabinet knew the Rwanda plan wouldn't work.

👋 @AmazonUK please could you let me know how to return a faulty item, within reasonable time, to you (the seller) as per the sale of goods act. Your website and app points to the manufacturer outside of 30 days, but this is incorrect. @MartinSLewis

@Meta how do you continue to be complicit in illegal scams by refusing to close down clearly fake posts / accounts such as the one shown below. Designed to scam vulnerable and elderly people. @nextofficial your brand is often used as bait. @martinmoneytips @guardiannews #scams

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

@Brexit011 @s8mb What has house building got to do with diversity? Don’t young people in the NW/NE deserve affordable housing too?

@leaveitahhhht @OwenJones84 @AdamBienkov ‘Labour had initially committed itself to resurrecting the inquiry, under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, but ditched this pledge at the end of last year.’

So a Corbyn policy, repealed a long time before the election… ‘refuse to deny’ is classic nonsense journalism.

@NReclining @ThatAlexWoman Glad it’s sinking in, the Tories have had your pants down

[IdRatherBeSkiing @oldbiged1982]

@ThatAlexWoman @PaulDuddridge Can the State have all the money back spent on your birth, education, energy infrastructure, any time you may have used the NHS, the training costs for teachers who taught you, the defence costs for maintening your safety.

Think not what your country can do for you…

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This is how it's done. This should be required viewing for the American press -- who are still engaging in bothsidesism, balance over objectivity, and false equivalencies. This is how you conduct an interview with a serial lying sociopath like Kari Lake.

@Snickknacks @tiinaligema @BladeoftheS Posting images of Judges that pass sentences or judgement you disagree with is very @MailOnline of you. Have we learnt nothing?

I don't think Rupert Murdoch (huge Israel supporter) is going to be pleased with Piers Morgan's honesty (for once) on Israel.

@Jenny_1884 I am thoroughly enjoying your meltdowns. You had 14 years, screwed it all up and still claim it’s not your fault 😂. Stop voting for populists! They know you’re thick.

@Natcha61583296 @LeeAndersonMP_ @FoxyEmma50 @reformparty_uk Don’t believe 30p Lee, he’s lying as usual. The Key isn’t anything to do with the Government, so use your noggin and think critically when he opens his mouth, why does he want you to think this...

[IdRatherBeSkiing @oldbiged1982]

@gerardjasper @BarristerSecret @RobertJenrick Ok so you have three levers;

1. Increase population and tax take through skilled (EU?) migration
2. Increase the age people can access the state pensions
3. Increase inheritance tax and put it into social care

You have to choose one….

@Nigel_Farage So 0.4% have left (2023 there were 2,500,000 millionaires) and of those, how many are non dom status and do not contribute any tax to the U.K? Not sure this is even statistically significant. Meanwhile the super rich get richer (and thus contribute more tax..)
