Well maybe the government should stop being so objectionable, and instead represent the people. You know, the thing they’re employed to do.
He has every reason, because he’s under investigation. The banks (neither the one that closed his accounts nor the 7 others that refused to open for him) almost certainly can’t give details for legal reasons.
An MP accused him of accepting £550,000 from RT, so it likely has something to do with that, or perhaps something else they’ve uncovered.
Basically, watch this space, criminal charges may well follow.
TL;DR an MP accused him of accepting £550,000 from Russian state news organisation RT.
The banks probably can’t say anything for legal reasons. However the fact that it’s happening, and the fact that 7 banks have rejected him from opening a new account, strongly suggest it’s true.
This makes me want to sing the Tetris theme.
My dad claimed to have seen one of these inside a plane when he was in the RAF, although he referred to it as ball lightning.
That’s because there haven’t been any successful economic policies since then.
The modernisation of the royal palace has long been used to justify increases in the sovereign grant, which was just £31m when it was first introduced in 2012-2013. Under a “golden ratchet” clause in the Sovereign Grant Act, the amount of money handed to the monarch can never fall, even if the crown estate’s profits decrease.
A Treasury spokesperson said: “The grant has been largely unchanged since 2020 and this temporary increase covers the remainder of the Buckingham Palace refurbishment. We will review the grant in 2026, expecting to bring it back down in 2027.”
How can they bring it down in 2027 when there’s this golden ratchet clause that says it never goes down?
Drax helps the UK government meet its climate targets because, on paper at least, the power station is treated as emission-free. This is because international carbon accounting rules state that greenhouse gas emissions from burning wood are counted in the country where the trees are felled as opposed to where they are burned.
Such bullshit. All the emissions happen here, but they don’t get counted here.
