WIN: High Court throws out Β£8m lawsuit over tax avoidance investigation | Good Law Project We have successfully defended award-winning journalist Dan Neidle from an β€˜oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform

We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.

Remembering the pile-on I got from Labour shills when I said demand had gone up at the food bank I volunteer at. Had to block about 10 of them for being so aggro with *me* for even mentioning it was on Starmer's watch

Defund billionaires.

Nobody earns a billion.

If you earned Β£200k, you would be a top one percentile earner, but it would still take you 5,000 years to "earn" a billion.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

In the medium to long term, yes.

However, for the poor/old to convert, it would take 10 to 20 years before seeing a monetary return. There is little or no immediate incentive.

If we don't stop this, soon, it will be too late.

We will be left with a plutocracy or oligarchy or corporatocracy...and it will be difficult to go back
