On denying refugees citizenship, I’m choosing my response really carefully. It’s cynical. This issue has been pushed on GBNews the last weeks, because the new Borders Bill actually repealed unused Tory legislation that imposed the requirement to remove anyone who arrives irregularly. #r4today

Foreign minister Lord Collins: "Where states fail to properly investigate [war crimes], the ICC has a right to step in." We agree. The UK is not investigating UK ministers. The @intlcrimcourt.bsky.social has the right to step in.

It’s time to be serious about tax evasion www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... MPs have rumbled HM Revenue & Customs and the fact that our tax authority is really not serious about tackling tax evasion. It's time that they were. This is one thing that does not need to grow.

Trump is being defeated in fed courts on a daily basis. Which means a choice of complying with the courts' orders or defying them. If the latter, the fed courts can only enforce through US marshals, AFAIK, who are governed by the US dept of Justice, a fed agency under control of the White House.

Disturbing: new survey shows that 41% of 18-27 year olds would not fight for the UK under any circumstances. Why would anyone fight for a nation where 70% of the wealth is held by the richest 1% and 80% of that is in tax havens. People would fight against that.
