Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

Tax dodging by rich could be ‘much greater than thought’, says UK audit office. Offshoring wealth, tax dodge schemes. Number of wealthy (income >£200,000; assets >£2m) increased. £5.2bn collected through enforcement despite reduction in the number of penalty notices. Tax the rich. Make them pay.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Last night, in marking #VE80, the Elizabeth Tower was lit up with projections in collaboration with the Imperial War Museums - depicting VE Day celebrations from 1945. In May 1945, the Elizabeth Tower was illuminated to signal the end of a near six year blackout during the Second World War.
