Crypto is the preserve of criminals. At best, it’s used by people intent on concealing transactions and, in doing so, avoiding tax.
Tax is the subscription we all pay to live in a civilised society. It funds the NHS, and therefore tax avoidance ultimately means people die.

McSweeney’s mentor, vile brexiteer Maurice Grossman, is knee-deep in Bannon and Trump - the only Labour figure invited to the inauguration. McSweeney is knee deep in Murdoch, spent entire royal visit with Rupert.
Grossman & McSweeney are Starmer’s bosses. Of course Starmer can’t sack McSweeney.

Labour’s messaging is appalling. That lies with McSweeney. His mentor, Maurice Grossman, is a Reform-minded thug, personal friend of Steve Bannon, the only Labour figure to attend Trump’s inauguration.
McSweeney has no regard for Labour values, fixated on selling a watered-down version of Reform.
