Between March 2003 and April 2009, 136 British service personnel were killed in Iraq, the vast majority killed by the IRGC and their proxies. Why did the UK government pretend Iran posed no threat to Britain? Why is it still pretending the current war is not one of legitimate defence?
Richard Williams@williams_rje

“As I watch the events unfold in the Middle East and the reaction to the predictable weaponisation of the oil price, and listen to the red-faced, wet-palmed performances in Westminster, I recall the raised voice of the then-UK Defence Secretary Des Browne in 2007, when he insisted to me as Commanding Officer 22 SAS that, in spite of all the intelligence and evidence to the contrary, ‘Iran is not Britain’s enemy in Southern Iraq’. He was wrong about that then, just as those are today who still maintain that the IRGC is not a terrorist organisation. Or who insist that negotiating with Iran will deliver anything other than further death and more humiliation. Or indeed that failing to support the US does anything other than strengthen Tehran’s hand. Sometimes, the pearl-clutching international  ‘conflict resolution’ experts are wrong. And the only way to salve any dignity as a nation or as an individual is to face the evil and fight”.

Restore Britain’s economic policy is about two words - freedom and fairness. We must become globally competitive, all whilst ensuring our own people are the ones feeling the benefits. Open to investment and creating an attractive home to build a business. But currently we are suffering with a broken system that is incredibly uncompetitive, overly complex, and yet amazingly permissive when it comes to the extraction of our wealth. Corporation tax has risen. The regulatory burden has grown. Money flees Britain. We are living in the worst of all worlds. It stinks. We can all feel the unfairness in the air. Billions of pounds generated within the British economy continue to flow out of the country each year through dividends, intra-company transfers, and other shady complex mechanisms - often with limited reinvestment and very often, sod all tax paid. Huge corporates stripping the British economy of its wealth. Under a Restore Britain Government, this will end. This is unfair, this is unsustainable. This is not what we want. It places an ever-greater burden on those who cannot restructure their affairs with expensive accountants or move their income offshore. British workers, British sole traders, and British small business owners. On those who we rely so heavily, the current deal is a crap deal. The global corporates benefit, decent British men and women suffer. It is rotten. Restore Britain takes a very different view. The solution is not to retreat away from proper competition, nor to tax, tax tax. Instead, Britain must become both more competitive and more disciplined - a country that rewards enterprise while insisting on responsibility and fairness for the British people. Firstly. Britain should have the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe. If Britain wishes to attract businesses, create jobs, and generate growth, it must offer a tax environment that is not merely competitive, but leading. Undercut our neighbours. Go for their business. We must be ruthless. Send a powerful signal. Britain is once again serious about growth, serious about enterprise, and serious about rewarding those who build and invest. But this alone is not enough. A low-tax system that is easily exploited does not serve the British people. Any low tax environment must matched by a determination to ensure that wealth generated here contributes fairly to the country in which it is created. Our country. Our economy. Our success. Currently, large volumes of profit are distributed overseas through dividends and complex corporate structures allow for the shifting of profits out of the Britain on an industrial scale. This is morally wrong. Restore Britain would address this imbalance directly and unashamedly. We would introduce fair and proportionate withholding taxes on dividends paid to overseas shareholders, ensuring that profits generated in Britain deliver a reasonable return to the British economy. Not shifted off to some low-tax paradise, stripping the British economy of its own wealth and rewards. Restore Britain would tighten the rules around profit-shifting and complex offshore arrangements, closing loopholes that exist purely to sneak money out of Britain. All of this would be paired with a system that actively encourages reinvestment so that the incentive to do this would be lower and lower. There would be no need to extract wealth to a low tax environment, because Britain would be that low tax environment. Businesses that retain profits in the UK investing in jobs, infrastructure, research, and expansion should benefit from a simpler, more favourable tax regime. If you want to contribute to our economy and infrastructure, you will be rewarded for doing so. The five golden rules of business. What’s. In. It. For. Me. Restore Britain’s objective is not to penalise success, but to align business incentives with the long-term interests of the country. This is not complicated, it really isn’t. For too long, the debate has been framed as a binary choice between being pro-business or pro-fairness. We disagree. Britain can and should be both. A country that attracts investment and rewards enterprise - but also one that ensures that the benefits of that growth are not systematically and deliberately extracted elsewhere to benefit foreign people and foreign lands. If wealth is created in Britain, a fair share of it should remain in Britain - supporting local economies, from which our country’s success will flow. Restore Britain will build an economy that does not work only for those who can freely move their untaxed money across borders, but for those who live, work, and raise families in our country. Those who want an economy built on low, but fair, taxation - there is now a political party you can support. Restore Britain.

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

Sacked for telling the truth. I have read the report from the DfE and it is disgraceful. A good teacher has been struck off for holding very normal, common-sense views. Civil servants in Westminster would faint if they met someone from Darlington or Middlesbrough. They are completely detached from reality. I hope Mr Everett appeals and is successful.

Remember this is exactly the opposite of what all polite opinion expected. In the early 2010s I was almost alone at least in the UK in saying the shale revolution was big news. Flash in the pan said all the energy “experts” and energy editors. Some flash, some pan.
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet

The US is energy independent. It can do whatever it wants Europe sacrificed its economy, relevance, and foremost geopolitical security at the altar of the green religion. It will get really nasty now. Don't blame Trump, you did it to yourself. Blame your left-green politicians.

Tousi TV@TousiTVOfficial

European and global powers are mobilizing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan signal support for securing global shipping after IRGC strikes on Persian Gulf energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister slammed the Islamic Republic, saying the regime talks about “defending Islam” while attacking Islamic countries across the region.

Only a few hours until the UK House of Lords votes on whether to legalise ABORTION UP TO BIRTH. We have all seen premature babies. We know that they need protection, not to be murdered at the last minute. The Lords must vote against this!
