1/. On 19 March, it’ll be 20 years since the start of the #IraqWar

50 days before war, #OTD in 2003, Bush said “the 16 words”

“The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa”

It was a lie, based on a forgery

Nadhim Zahawi in 2010 said MPs guilty of "any wrongdoing" should face being ousted by their constituents

He has since rejected calls to stand down as an MP over his own breaches of the ministerial code

Breaking News 🗞️

The U.K. sees grocery inflation hit a record high of 16.7%. When you consider Rishi Sunak & the usual right wing foot chewers are decrying the NHS, teachers, and now firefighters for striking for inflationary rises, it reminds you how revolting they really are

@mikegalsworthy Oh and simultaneously, the UK has fallen seven places down #TransparencyInternational’s global #corruption perceptions index, as it warns of “woeful inadequacies” in upholding political #integrity. This represents the biggest fall among the G7 countries.

I think it's often missed in the collective consciousness that we're prisoners of extremist ideology, of uncompromising ideologues, in the Conservatives.
They terrorise people with the idea Labour are the ideology-driven lot.
The terrible truth is the opposite. https://twitter.com/DavidHenigUK/status/1620401520763359233

The dodo bird was utterly guileless, because it evolved on an island (Mauritius) without predators (no people either). So no wonder this 'doido' (Portuguese for crazy) avian went extinct once explorers arrived, along with their cats, rats and monkeys.

Infosys: estimated to have paid Mrs Sunak £54 million in dividends in the last eight years (& for many/ most she sought non-dom status). No work involved.

And the Company itself is contesting their own U.K. tax bill of £20 million outstanding for the 2014-2017 period. https://twitter.com/paullewismoney/status/1620303305011515398

NEW IMF updates its forecast, generally predicting milder recessions around world than in Autumn.
But downgrades UK forecast by 0.9% to -0.6% in 2023. Now only G7 econ forecast to contract this calendar year.

In fact only one to fall of 15 new forecasts published, incl Russia.
