Might Israel have conducted a similar campaign against the Labour Party and to make sure that the UK government keeps supporting it? theguardian.com/world/article/…

Nearly 40% of global dirty money is laundered in London and UK crown dependencies. London welcomes proceeds of bribery, theft, drugs, crime. Under the Criminal Finances Act 2017 no company has been prosecuted for tax evasion. Laws are for show only. theguardian.com/world/article/…

*must watch* Rishi Sunak's car crash interview with @1Judilove Judi Love, "People live in homes with damp.. NHS workers right now are queuing to go to food banks.. When are you going to do something to make a change, people are suffering" Rishi Sunak starts talking about the online safety bill Judi Love, "It's important for you to get into the juice of it, we've heard so many things.. What is happening now with regards to poverty in the UK" Rishi Sunak again talks about the online safety bill Judi Love, "What about the children who do not have the means of gas and electric in their homes, what are we doing to help those parents that are suffering.. We've got people going to work who are not eating because we are in a state of poverty.. What is going to happen, now" Rishi Sunak, "Financial security is people's most acute concern.. We've been through a tough time: pandemic, war in Ukraine, energy bills.. We've provided support to people" Judi Love, "Universal Credit?" Rishi Sunak, "You saw me in the pandemic with furlough" - ignored over 3 million #ExcludedUK Kay Adams, "You've got 4 million children living in poverty Prime Minister" Rishi Sunak ignores her, "We've made sure our welfare system is working, benefits are being uprated, a big tax cut for those who are in work who will get more money in their bank account" Judi Love, "How do you connect to these people? A lot of people are concerned that you cannot emotionally connect, because you haven't and dont live the life that they live. How do you connect with people when they are worried about knife crime, worried to sleep at home because of damp, when they're worried to take a day off sick because they dont want to miss that pay check. They need you to protect them as prime minister" Rishi Sunak, "I point you to what happened in the pandemic.. All the things you just said were true then.. I knew the right thing was to step in and support people through it.. That's what I did.. I'd ask people to judge me by my actions.. That's what I've done that's who I am as a person.. That's how I was raised" Judi Love, "How were you raised?" Rishi Sunak, "I was, I was..."
