HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn. Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted. No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts. Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019. Govts chase little people.

A lovely event campaigning to legislate for new builds to have swift bricks with @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social and Zak Goldsmith. Hannah is holding a swift brick while Zak is holding her book. I'm holding a commitment to get this sensible cost-free policy into the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.

The NASDAQ just saw the largest single day point drop in American history and the response from the President is to cut his work week short to get on his plane and go golfing.

The fact it was called a “VIP lane” to which Tory supporters, many with no prior experience in goods & services they were offering to supply, were given access by ministers, looks like a prima facie case of corruption to me. Fill yer boots, people, we can’t let this crisis go to waste! Deplorable.

Our large animal vet has moved practice, so I phoned up the new place to see if I could register with them. Almost slammed the phone down when the hold music came on. Of course it was the theme tune to All Creatures Great And Small. What else would it be?

"This proposal has encountered fierce opposition, first from the village of Balloch, then from the south-west shore of the loch and then more widely across Scotland. Such is the strength of feeling about this development that opposition has even been received from overseas." #LochLomond #Balloch
