"The answer may surprise you. Despite making a £222 million profit, Amazon's main UK division paid no corporation tax in 2022.
Because of government tax breaks, this is the second year in a row that this part of Amazon has paid no corporation tax here.
In fact the UK government actually gave Amazon money last year: £7.7m in tax credits for making investments in infrastructure, which they likely would have made anyway."
"UK lost out on £2bn in tax in 2021 as big tech shifted profits abroad, claim campaigners
TaxWatch analysis estimates British arms of seven major tech firms paid £750m in corporation tax instead of possible £2.8bn"

When we get a new government, taxing organisations like Amazon and Ebay should be high on the agenda. They claim to be based elsewhere (low corporation tax jurisdictions like Ireland) but they are sucking up huge amounts of UK retail business and need to be taxed fairly.
Unlike individuals, mega profitable corporations will not jump on a plane and go elsewhere. They won't turn their back on profitable markets.
Mind you - be clear about this. It won't be Apple, Ebay, or Amazon shareholders who pay any tax. They will simply raise the prices customers pay. Corporations don't pay tax - their customers do. So when you tax Ebay, you pay when you buy something on the platform.

What are they on about?
Stigma against benefits has made devastating poverty acceptable in Britain
Britain is in a poverty crisis. Over 14 million people (1 in 5) are living in poverty. Of these, 4 million, including 1 million children, are classed as destitute: regularly unable to meet basic needs for shelter, warmth, food and clothing.

It was HORRIFIC. I only watched the highlights, but the impression was that Biden was either having a stroke, or ge was completely senile. He is known for massive vanity and is unlikely to step back, but everyone can see he has dementia. Amazingly, top Democrats are still talking him up.
It's looking like Channel 4 are in deep trouble for making fake news. The accusations are that they paid an actor, Andrew Parker, to play a role as a Reform party guy. They then interviewed him, where he said the most outrageous things. Everybody went nuts about these psychos in Reform as the news story spread, but it's looking like the whole thing was a setup and Ch4 have been caught. Ofcom are now involved and CH4 may have to pay massive fines.
The story has moved on a bit since that discussion. I believe that the actor has since admitted that it was him.
I watched the debate. It was hard to watch. Biden was at moment incomprehensible. Biden looked ill.
I can't see him doing his big job for another 4 1/2 years.
Dems will have to start again and find another candidate double quick.

"Could AI influence the way you vote? As the dangers of AI targeted political material become apparent, Dispatches illustrates the effect AI could have on 12 British households of undecided voters."
I haven't seen anyone accuse channel 4 of that because it would be obvious rubbish and they would get sued. Plenty of Reform people have inferred it, the reason they haven't directly accused channel 4 is because they know it's rubbish and they don't want to get sued
Reform canvasser in PM racism row says he was 'a total fool'
Reform campaigner Andrew Parker told Sky News he was a "total fool" and was "goaded" into the comments captured by Channel 4 in an undercover sting.
When people accuse me of spreading conspiracy theories when I mention that strange forces are controlling the world today, all I have to do is point to Biden and ask them how that guy became leader of the free world, when he doesn't even know which way up he's standing, and now I have an even stronger defence when I ask how are they expecting to get him re-elected. What are these strange forces that create this situation, and don't say stupidity?
I think you'll find that the wheels have already been put in motion to sue them.I haven't seen anyone accuse channel 4 of that because it would be obvious rubbish and they would get sued.

If Trump and Biden are the best of the USA then the western world is definitely doomed. RFK is also not good.
It's weird. A few hours after the debate with Trump, Biden was a completely different person when he delivered his speech in Carolina.

What are these forces? How about huge amounts of money, and the influece of YES MEN. Did you hear Gill Biden bigging up the dotard right after the epic disaster where on live tv he made it clear that he should be in a care home and not the Oval Office. Both he and Gill think he is great. Everyone else - not so much. AROGANCE HUBRIS AND MASSIVE VANITY
