We have 'Children In Need' because billionaires and international companies refuse to pay taxes.

Dear @KemiBadenoch I see you're getting down in the gutter at #PMQs dragging Ed Miliband re his meeting with Russell Brand.
Fair enough
Your hero Maggie Thatcher with Jimmy Savile.
Here endeth the lesson.

I am sick to death of hearing 'we pay billions in welfare' like it is paid out and disappears into thin air. People on benefits do not put their money offshore - they SPEND it back into the economy.

David Beckham and Prince William celebrating you raising Β£15m for the London Air Ambulance Charity as if they did it.
Either of them could have done it with their pocket change.
Instead they take credit for what you did.

What is wrong with this woman?
What made her think weaponising Russell Brand would be a good idea for PMQs?
Has she forgotten the victims?
Or indeed her hero Thatcher cosying up to Saville?!

Everybody else on Twitter seems to have bought a blue tick.
There is only me left.
Shoutout if you aren't ever giving Elon Musk a penny or calling Twitter anything but Twitter.

I will tell you something that I think an AWFUL lot of people need to learn.
The rich will never help you, and they will never make the world better.
Because all they care about is staying rich or getting even richer.
Don't look up for help, it ain't ever coming.

How TF is this still happening?!
10 years on from that bloody Brexit vote, and a senior Reform leader thinks we can go and do our own trade deals with EU countries! π€―π€―π€―
We can't.
We never could.
Trade with any of them = a deal with all 27
β¦and this lot want to run the country.

Left: Nigel Farage lays a wreath at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Day
Right: One of the 34 boys at Dulwich college accusing Nigel Farage of racism, Peter Ettedgui, "Farage repeatedly coming up to me and knowing that I am Jewish saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas them' which was frequently followed by a hissing sound of escaping gas"
My view:
Something is deeply broken in our democracy when allegations of repeated racist and antisemitic abuse can remain unresolved while the politician accused takes his place among those representing the nation at the Cenotaph.
Peter Ettedgui alleges that Nigel Farage repeatedly targeted him with antisemitic taunts invoking Hitler and the gas chambers. Farage denies the allegations. But political prominence should bring greater scrutiny and accountability, rather than allowing questions of this gravity to fade into the background.
If Ettedguiβs account is true, the contradiction is appalling: someone who allegedly mocked the victims of Nazism now publicly honours those who fought against it. The passage of time cannot, by itself, resolve that contradiction.
Remembering the fallen must mean carrying their lessons into our politics. When we honour the fight against fascism while treating allegations of antisemitic hatred as an inconvenience, we risk reducing remembrance to a ceremony whose moral meaning we refuse to uphold.
