    TORY chairman Nadhim Zahawi’s tax problems are a bigger headache for the Prime Minister than he has yet acknowledged.

    Zahawi pleads that it was mere carelessness that saw him forced to pay HMRC nearly £5 million in unpaid tax (inclusive of a penalty) while he was, er, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

    Financial sloppiness isn’t a great look for a chancellor, but in Zahawi’s defence he’s admitted to it before. It was after all a “genuine mistake” that saw him claim thousands in expenses to heat the stables for a horse-riding school on his Warwickshire estate.

    …

    Labour rails at Conservative “corruption and cronyism,” but the fundamental issue is more basic still. This is a government of the rich, for the rich, by the rich and it is making us poorer.

  • Climate crisis reality check

    26 Nov 22: There is an updated post here

    You are welcome to disagree with any point although I contend that it is clear.

    The climate is fekked. We’ve witnessed extreme weather events on every continent. The climate is fekked because governments worldwide refused to act and instead facilitated rich people – as corporate entities or individuals – fekking it.

    Big oil has known for decades that it was fekking the planet and continued regardless.

    Thousand of people have already died due to the climate getting destroyed by rich people and governments and thousands more will die. Governments are still failing to accept reality and address the climate crisis. Some have started to in small measure.

    People should be held to account for their actions and inactions. People are likely to get killed over it whether legally i.e through a legally sanctioned death penalty, or not.

    The US has historically had and the UK repeatedly has and continues to elect political leaders who are incompetent through imbecility.

    We are going to suffer extreme food shortages due to the climate being fekked.

    Everything is blamed on Russia. Ukraine is not the only place that grows food. Harvests throughout Europe have / will fail.

    We should try to make sure that politicians responsible for fekking the climate and planet are not re-elected.

    I’m sorry to say that it’s clearly going to get worse.
