New political funding rules sneak in

The Tory govt passed a statutory instrument that increases amount of money an individual can donate to a party without declaring who donated it, from £7,500 to £11,180

The same statutory law increased election spending cap by 80%, from £19.5m to £35m - the amount party HQs can spend.

Next year will tax state pensions rather than increase taxes on the wealthy

Pensioners will not only have a tax bill, they will have to put money aside to pay it, & will have to complete a self assessment tax return, with all the associated risk of serious penalties attached to that process.

This will result in £50 billion of extra tax paid

marcusjenkins, to Rejoin
@marcusjenkins@mastodon.social avatar

Neither BBC News nor any other British broadcast media gave any coverage of the HUGE Rejoin EU demonstration in London yesterday. This is a combination of state editorial control (BBC bosses are Tory party donors), media mogul control (more Tory party donors) and news being an advertising business, not a public service.

Ironically we have to leave it to France state news channel to report on it.
