Radcliffe is worth £30B and became an immigrant in Monaco to save himself £4B in tax. He now pays £0 tax but complains about immigrants to the UK who paid @ £20-25B in tax (2024-25). Immigrants' taxes pay for doctors, nurses, teachers, police, soldiers and pensions, while he pays for nothing.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

In Scotland, the SNP & the Greens don't get corporate donations & are massively out-spent by anti-indy parties who do receive them. The media is overwhelmingly anti-independence, yet Scots keep electing a pro-indy majority to Holyrood. Just think what we could achieve with a level playing field.

Starmer's Britain. Not even subtle.

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

A reminder that when the Sycamore Gap tree was cut down people immediately started blaming immigrants and teenagers... It was neither. It was two white Englishmen in their 30s.

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

Not only is the 41% for #IndyWales a true breakthrough moment, but the 72% support from the 25-34 demographic clearly shows the direction of travel. @yes.cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #annibyniaeth

“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’” My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’. I bring receipts:

Marine Le Pen and her €4.7 million stolen from EU funds, she calls it politics. When thieves wear suits and wave flags, it’s not nationalism—it’s organized crime with a voter base.

Turns out Le Pen is not mightier than the fraud.
