HMRC failed to collect £46.8bn tax in 2023-24. 40% relates to small businesses. Total doesn't include taxes lost due to wealthy stashing wealth offshore, profit shifting by companies. HMRC was starved of resources. Skilled labour lost, real wage cuts. Govts hit low/middle earners instead.

Post Office Capture scandal: Sir Alan Bates calls for those responsible for wrongful convictions to be brought to account. PO execs, Fujitsu, lawyers, accountants, advisers made millions from conspiracy. Lives of postmasters ruined. After 3 decades no one charged. Will they ever be?

40% of all corporation tax owed by small businesses isn't paid. How has this happened, without anyone noticing or caring? Because nobody wants to talk about it. These reactions to the latest HMRC tax gap figures are typical:

🤨 Avelo really doesn't like us noticing what they're doing to migrants. First, they painted their ICE planes all-white to protect their brand. Now, their planes are changing how they park at Boeing Field to obstruct cameras that were set up specifically to observe their activities. SHAME!

The shadow of Tory neglect NHS England backlog down to 7.39m hospital appointments, was record high 7.7m in Sept 2023. Not helped by privatisation. 30%-40% of money handed to private operators vanished in profits. Money buys less. Must expand NHS capacity. No privatisation.

Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years. AI could displace 3m jobs in UK. Will it create that many? How will Govts manage the social consequences - repression, poverty, more inequalities, concentration of wealth/power or redistribution and democracy?

UK benefits system could collapse if disability benefits not cut, Liz Kendall says. Rubbish. In Sept 2024, a Minister said economy would crash if winter fuel payment not cut ... now! Inflicting cruelty/poverty won't rebuild society. Govts find money for wars, corporate welfare. Tax the rich.

For the far right banging on about houses being built for illegal immigrants. Legal Framework: Illegal immigrants are not eligible for social housing under current UK laws. Therefore, the idea that they are the primary beneficiaries of new housing projects is unfounded.

70,000 more Britons to lose disability benefits than originally expected. Estimates up from 370,000 to 440,000, could lose £4,500 a year each. How many die? Govt averse to taxing corporations and the rich. Tell your MP to oppose cuts. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.
