In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Oil from an Iranian ship struck near the Strait of Hormuz threatens to poison one of the region's most important wetlands. Local fishing communities depend on the mangrove forest for food. If oil reaches them, it's likely to kill the fish they need to survive. share.google/hpVAKkuAVy9J...

Global super-rich may have hidden $3.55tn from tax officials. 0.1% of households have more wealth than the poorest half of the global population. Govts funded by the super rich, don't shut down tax havens and the tax abuse industry or levy wealth tax. HMRC goes easy on wealthy individuals.

Remember that Nigel Farage is Donald Trump's biggest supporter. Remember that Nigel campaigned for Trump and even wants to mimic all his policies. This is the sort of insanity Reform want to bring to the United Kingdom.

The government is seeking to speed up launch of its Warm Homes Plan to help cut people's energy bills in response to the Iran war. Under it, lower income families could receive fully funded installations of solar panels + battery up to a cost of £12,000. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Our 'Amazon Tax' would use the Non-Domestic Rates system to make large online-based retail businesses pay their fair share towards the communities and local economies that host them. The tax system should work for all of Scotland’s communities, not just for the wealthy.

Nigel Farage refuses to apologise for the appalling Grenfell comments of the Housing Chief who he hired and fired. Claiming it is the same as apologising for everything that happened in the last couple of hundred years. He is a scumbag of the lowest calibre.

The reality is that sadly Labour has NOT used its parliamentary majority to attack wealth. Hence a scumbag like Dyson, our richest person pays less personal tax than people in basic service industry roles. We should tax billionaires out of existence.

I'd buy British except Thatcher killed off most of our manufacturing base. Saw one of Dyson's vast Lincoln farms on a TV programme recently. Robotic technology was growing and picking British strawberries on a vast scale. Soon the tech bros will control food consumption.
