Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

Well, the government has admitted it was wrong.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Just one more solid example that Donald Trump has severe dementia.
And an example of how twisted and demented the entire MAGA Republican Congress is, House and Senate. They have turned their backs on the people for whom they are working for.

Every case study like this should be balanced by one such as a 15-year-old with suicidal ideation unable to receive any help because CAMHS has been cut to virtual non-existence.
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

It’s an unhealthy situation and makes supporting the BBC, which is a news source respected worldwide, essential.

Hotels housing migrants are now YouTube content farms. Outrage = clicks. Clicks = cash: £10k–£20k a month, just for filming cruelty. Division is the business model.
