Corruption is a cancer.
Dealing with it imperative to tackle most other societal ills.
Instead of closing these loopholes, the government sets up more of them on UK soil. Nice optics
This needs way more mainstream publicity. Labour keep banging on about a £22bn black hole and I never hear this nearly £20bn mentioned. Perhaps Channel 4 need to give it some publicity with the help of @europeanpowell.bsky.social who knows a great deal!
they're essentially onshored sweatshop tax havens

Why isn't labour doing anything about it?
Perhaps try to be less patronising?
Or come back on #fof
