#Politicslive If the new Duke of Westminster had paid the inheritance tax due last year instead of being able to avoid most of it with tax dodges, he would have paid more than everyone else who paid it in 2023 combined.

I'm old enough to remember when Tory MPs jeered at Jeremy Corbyn for wearing a green tie, which he was wearing as a mark of respect to the victims of the Grenfell fire.

"Tory MPs paid £100,000 of public funds to party’s in-house web designers
Conservatives including Hunt and Truss used Bluetree for websites and claimed costs as expenses"
Another Tory scandal, if you've room for one more?

Only Labour can bring them down. We've done it before and we’ll do it again.

Craig Williams, the prime minister’s parliamentary private secretary and an MP since 2019, placed a £100 bet with Ladbrokes that there would be a July election just three days before Rishi Sunak announced the general election.

We literally have a PM bought by a Conservative donor.
Rishi Sunak serves his owners.
