It reviewed the activities of City of Sanctuary UK. “concerns were raised over the charity’s activities in schools, including the claim that school children were being encouraged to send Valentine’s Day cards to adult asylum seekers. This allegation had been circulating online and was also reported in the media.  Findings  Following a detailed review and a meeting with the charity’s trustees, the regulator did not find evidence to support these allegations.” Look at my screenshot:

🤦The 50p tax rate was supposed to raise £2.7bn a year. It raised £1bn. The Energy Profits Levy was forecast at £41.6bn. It raised £17.4bn. The non-dom abolition was meant to raise £34bn. It may raise nothing. 📉This is not bad luck. It is a pattern.
