Forensic accountancy takes time.Many PPE ‘contractors’ were offshore or shell companies (hairdressers, developers) who ‘had a punt; Tory MPs put their mates on ‘fast track’ route via WhatsApp. Meanwhile, legit. established medical supply companies were ignored. They are being chased. Let ‘em sweat

Hello Tara, good to hear from you. Regrettably, in light of executive abuse of proscription powers, & proposals regarding settled status, it’s difficult to say whether @teamlabouruk.bsky.social has come up with the ‘worst’ approach yet. Hoping you are correct.

All to remedy the totally disconnected cause - the closure/sale of 1 in 3 of our courts (sold at loss to Tories’ mates,m): 15% year on year cuts to criminal justice services; the trashing of Probation; evisceration of legal aid, etc. How do you fix that omnishambles - end a core legal principle?

Did you miss the ‘Clash of Civilisations’ panic from the first decade of this century? It proposed that ‘Western’ civilisation is inherently exceptional/superior & Islamic civilisation will corrode Western values if it’s given the opportunity.

As co-convener of Vote Leave, Michael Gove occupied a position of legal responsibility. The unlawful spending & campaign coordination happened on his watch. The denials - proven to be false - ditto. Vote Leave, ultimately, accepted the finding & paid the fine.

There were no other consequences.

I’m worried that this might be a fake petition which is fishing for personal data to be harvested for criminal purposes by troll farms in Russia, or some bot farms. 😉

Property tax? Inheritance tax? Wealth flight due to Labourite Venezuelan socialism? Lazy workers? Productivity drop - (see previous for cause)? Triple lock? Greedy workers? Militant unions (see prev for cause)? NEETS? Malingerers cluttering up the NHS? Oh, I give up…just tell us the answer 🙏.

Despite changing which party leads government last year, we still have policies across the board the punish people who are down for being down while people at the top complain that we should treat them even worse. The disabled, long term ill, caregivers, asylum seekers, refugees... Why target them?

One response is to make sure that countries implement the ICC warrant.

The situation these judges are being put in for doing their work is unbelievable. They can’t use any US services - and not just for work, in their private lives too.

“Without sovereignty - military, health, financial and digital - we can no longer guarantee the rule of law.”

This is likely to increasingly become a topic.
