The Cabinet Office’s lawyers argued that the release of information about Sunak’s financial dealings during his time at No 10 is not in the public interest.
We think the public has a right to know who was managing the PM’s investments – do you agree?

He’s a grifter,
He’s a shifter,
He’s a daylight smoker,
He don’t mind hurting anyone,
He’s a hater,
He’s a bater,
He’s a master faker,
He gets his money on the run. (apologies to Steve Miller Band)

The internet never forgets: “More importantly, as Farage confessed in a now-deleted video after the shock EU Referendum leave vote: "Well done, Bannon. Well done, Breitbart. You helped with this. Hugely."
Since Nigel Farage has just sided with Russia again, and said “the idea Ukraine is going to win, frankly, is for the birds,” it’s time to re-ask those five questions he’s never asked about his support for Vladimir Putin 1/5

Important article about how many so called “patriotic” groups, spreading divisive racist content (supporting Farage and Anderson) in the run up to the GE were located in… Nigeria. Oh the irony.
It has all the hallmarks of a Kremlin interference job.

UK has more deaths than births, people can't afford to have children.
Poverty obstructs social/economic renewal.
One policy is to exempt minimum wage from income tax & NIC.
Why tax the less well-off and then make them queue for benefits?
Watch the Minister's do nothing reply

Worth looking at these numbers if you are a Tory strategist. Britain is not America. The same things won't work in the same way here.
69% of Britons think Donald Trump will be a bad president
Terrible: 57%
Poor: 12%
Average: 9%
Good: 9%
Great: 4%

This Channel4 Dispatches on the royals is UNREAL…
The rank profiteering
The conflicts of interest
The fact that they are exempt from paying corporation tax, inheritance tax & capital gains tax
They’re not even obliged to pay income tax
…and they even charged FOR AIR!!!

1.Partygate was a perception problem (it's our fault for thinking it was bad).
2. No10 staff and ministers wouldn't have been guilty of breaking the law if the law didn't exist
3. Don't keep bringing up the past, it has no relevance to the present.
Got it.

The government are going after the super rich. The likes of James Dyson - who owns 14,600 hectares of British farmland and Anders Holch Povlsen, who reportedly owns ca 89,000 hectares of Scotland. Despite being worth tens of millions neither estate WAS liable for inheritance tax.
