So odd how we're not calling years of below-inflation pay rises "quiet paycutting"

For years tax justice campaigners, especially Prem Sikka, one of my advisers when I was Shadow Chancellor, have called for the closing of the tax loophole in which members of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) classify themselves as partners and not employees, with the result they pay less tax. At last it’s reported that HMRC is cracking down on this large scale tax avoidance scheme. Hopefully it’s a start to tackling the tax gap of avoided tax that HMRC conservatively puts at £60 billion.

Much of the media hate that the Green Party want to tax the super rich & stand up for peace around the world.
They hate that we call out vast majority of media owned by a few billionaires who constantly distract.
One of the best things you can do?

While gas prices are up 39% since Trump started his illegal Iran War, Exxon’s profits are up 130%, Chevron’s are up 185% and Shell’s profits nearly doubled.
Working families struggle while Big Oil rips them off.
Trump’s response: “I don’t give a damn.”
Beyond unacceptable.

I have a burning hatred with our media, treating this guy as a salt of the earth small business owner, when instead his dad started up the business and now Paul has a turnover of 18m with 6 properties.
"Andy Burnham, come and have a chat with me. Come and work in my business, I'll show you what we need."
Small business owner Paul Bowen asks Prime Minister Andy Burnham for more support following this week’s Budget measures.
