The UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside.
The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence.
Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up.

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids.
We have failed spectacularly.

Zia Yusuf styles himself Shadow Home Secretary. He has no right to that title. He is not even a Member of Parliament.
The real Shadow Home Secretary is Chris Philp, the Conservative MP appointed by the Leader of the Official Opposition.
Yesterday Andrea Jenkyns claimed she signed a landmark trade agreement between Lincolnshire and Taiwan.
A mayor has no power to sign international trade deals. Trade policy is reserved to the Westminster government.
At best she signed a non binding MOU.
This is not politics. This is cosplay. Pure theatre from a party that pretends to be the government it is not.

As a GP practice we lost a third of Nursing home residents in the first wave due to the decisions made by leaders to discharge infected patients to homes
It’s hugely concerning that this was done without mitigation of the risks

The president called an African country a ‘shit house’ on camera. I remember the old days - his first term! - when calling African countries ‘shit holes’ was a huge controversy that had to be denied.
We have normalized his Neo-Nazism now. Lucky us.

You’re the Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, not the Trade Secretary.
You can’t sign a trade deal with Taiwan or anyone else, that’s reserved to Westminster.
You signed a non-binding MOU and rebranded it a “landmark trade agreement” for the gullible.
Classic Reform: inflate a photo-op into a lie and hope the lazy and uninformed never check. Disgusting
This morning, I signed a landmark trade agreement with Tainan in Taiwan, strengthening ties between our regions and creating new opportunities for trade, investment and innovation.
Greater Lincolnshire has a huge amount to offer, and this agreement is another step towards showing the world what we do best. 🇹🇼 🇬🇧
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK mayors cannot sign binding international trade agreements (reserved for central UK government); Taiwanese reports describe this as a sister city twinning agreement, and prior official statements called it a non-binding MOU for local cooperation.

I'm watching the programme on #Aberfan on BBC1; a compensation fund set up after the disaster was to be allocated based on assessment of how close parents had been to their dead children, to see if they'd been genuinely affected...? My God.

In other words:
We're going to stop any unemployment benefits for young people altogether and force them into shitty low-paid jobs, on zero hour contracts, so our billionaire backers can get more cheap labour.

On 22nd September 1934 at Gresford Colliery, Wales, an explosion killed 266 men & boys underground. 6 survived and only 11 bodies were ever recovered.
The wages of all were docked by half a days pay by the owners because the men had 'failed to complete their shift.'

Everyone: Yepp, that's whats happening.
