@david_hollas What's quite nice is that HMRC well soon be in receipt of around £18M as a consequence of these donations with absolutely no expectations or strings.
Definitely no changes to CGT in respect to Crypto should Reform get in, right? Right?
An amazing article for those of you with a reading age above 11 and a concentration level for taking in information longer than that of a Goldfish . The Truth About Russia and Brexit. https://t.co/x5ub27Ol0B
En 1942, un prisionero recluido en un campo del desierto de Arizona por su origen japonés fue reclutado para entrenar a los servicios secretos de Estados Unidos. Años después fundó una multinacional del sonido. Así fue como Bill Kasuga creó Kenwood. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
@RupertLowe10 Your son has married the daughter of an immigrant from Libya. Any children they have, your grandchildren, would count towards these statistics that you're so appalled by. I hope they never read this.

£25.3m spent yesterday turning on gas plants to replace wind energy in Scotland that couldn't be used due to grid constraints.
A further £3.3m was paid to the wind farms that were turned down.
I believe that's a record. NESO really weren't lying when they said things would get a lot worse from September… 😬
For 37 years, privatised water companies have fleeced customers and poisoned our supply whilst extracting £88bn+ in dividends.
Privatisation is a scam. It is absurd that successive governments have allowed this farce to continue.
Put water into democratic public ownership, now.
"I am damned if I am going to stand on a stage, having won a resounding victory… and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies”
Weird way to say:
I’ve been told it’s not safe for me to attend due to a “credible threat”.
Half of England is in drought. 40% of us are under a hosepipe ban. Here’s what the water companies did with the 35 years they were given:
💧 2.87 billion litres leaked every single day. Nearly one in five litres put into supply, lost.
💧 A national hosepipe ban saves about 577 million litres a day. Five times less than they leak. They ration us to cover their own failure.
💧 25 reservoirs sold off. Not one major new reservoir built since 1992.
💧 England faces a 5 billion litre a day shortfall in public water supply by 2055.
💧 £85 billion paid out in dividends since privatisation.
💧 £0 of debt in 1989. Over £70 billion now. Borrowed against your bills, to pay their shareholders.
💧 Almost a third of your bill goes on servicing that debt and paying dividends. Not on pipes.
💧 Thames Water took a £3 billion rescue loan at 9.75% interest. You pay for that too.
💧 £25.3 million in pay for chief executives and finance directors last year, up on the year before, despite a bonus ban. Thames handed £4.1 million to senior staff the ban didn’t cover.
They didn’t fail to fix the pipes because it was hard. They didn’t fix them because leaking is cheaper than investing, and the money got pissed away to the assorted circus of vulture capital.
We don’t need better regulation of them. We don’t need tighter control of them. We need to own it.
Public ownership. Nothing less.
