🚩🚩🚩 this is very significant. Up to Jan 2024 Harborne could have been registered as a permissible overseas donor for 15 years.

The hospitality industry wants their VAT cut to 10%. It will cost £12bn Who benefits? ❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Nope. 45% get nothing. ❌ Consumers? Nope - prices won't fall. ✅ Nearly half the cash goes straight to large chains. McDonald's gets £400m. 🧵:

An Imam’s home was firebombed in Bolton. Fortunately he and his family are safe…. …but where is the media and political outrage? Where are the angry social media influencers? Britain is heading in a very dangerous direction if we don’t stand against ALL racism and hatred
