I’ve just transferred some money across to my nieces bank account because she’s gone overdrawn because she hasn’t been paid this month.

Osborne to cut corporation tax – he’s not backing Britain
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,484 Tuesday 05 July 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, I see that George Osborne is set to lower corporation tax to 15% and there are even calls for it to be lower to woo investors to Britain, not least from China. The problem with overseas investment is that […]

A letter a day to number 10. No 1,404 Saturday 16 April 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, For the party that is the personification of evil in Britain today, you Tories are having a helluva time of it.

The party of PR fraudsters and snake oil salesmen
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,400 Tuesday 12 April 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, My own MP has now waded into the great tax debate. Jacob Rees-Mogg, Honourable Member for the 18th Century as Vox Political aptly describes him, has apparently said, ‘tax avoidance is a matter of law, not morality’. He’s right, […]
The system’s rigged, we are not all in this together
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,399 Monday 11 April 2016. Dear Mr Cameron, No word of your resignation yet, I notice. But then it is Sunday as I write, the day when ordinary people work, like junior doctors, nurses and all those who make our 24 hour NHS possible, supermarket staff and […]
The UK government has weaponised money for profit
A letter a day to number 10. No 1,395 Thursday 07 April 2016.
