BREAKING: America's 706 biggest corporations paid a 10.4% tax rate on $1.88 TRILLION in profits last year.
That's the lowest rate researchers have found in more than 40 years of tracking.
It's also less than half the 21% rate they're supposed to pay.
This is insane.

Healey takes 70,000 more retail, hospitality and leisure firms out of business rates by lifting threshold for relief from £12k to £18k.
It means half of them will pay no rates at all - and the rest will have rates frozen for next two years - paid for by raising taxes on gambling.

Budget 26: Raising revenue from those who can afford to pay. No tax rises on wages or dividends. Cutting taxes for millions of families and businesses. Just as the British people helped support our banks 20 years ago, it is our banks that will help give families breathing space today.

Badenoch has forgotten that Thatcher sold off the family silver, Cameron ruined public services with austerity, Johnson ruined the economy for a generation with his Brexit deal. Then he pissed £billions up the wall with dodgy Covid loans and PPE contracts.
Then we had Mad Lizzy!

Actually not true. 16 hours at £13.20 an hour is £844.80 a month.
You lose 55p of your universal credit for every £1 you earn in a month, so for most single childless people over 25, you lose Universal Credit after earning £772.54 in a month.
Whilst Reform are talking about Sharia Law again let’s look back when Nigel Farage claimed that there are ‘ghettos in the UK that are under Sharia Law.’
When questioned about it he lied saying he was talking about France & was unable to provide any evidence to back up his claim.

For the last couple of years, I've been visiting the UK. I've been to Belfast, Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, and Bristol. I've been in Cambridge for a month already.
Where the fuck are all the barbaric no-go criminal war zones I keep reading about?
Visited London for the first time in quite a while. Harrowing experience…
1. They’re lying about the numbers. The next census is going to be absolutely barbaric reading.
2. Things are far worse than most people outside of London could possibly imagine.
The entire city has been turned into a middle Easter bazaar and a sub continental slop market.

Stupid question I know, but is there anyway to get tickets to an Arsenal home game if not a member or season ticket holder? My son is desperate to see them . #AFC

The market reaction to the Budget is good.
10 year and 30 year borrowing down, ££ stable , FTSE up
Ignore the pantomime of Reform and the Tories - this was what was needed to settle nerves and to work toward Spending Review changes
