Can the G7 also take a look at the specific problem we have in the U.K. of billionaire newspaper tycoons who are not domiciled here for tax purposes? https://t.co/LmwXFvhUiX

The UK's the only G7 member not backing Biden's 21% minimum corporation tax rate.
It would raise £14.7bn a year.
Or roughly the amount the government refused to pay for children to catch up on their education.
Ours is a government of little people with little minds who think the world is a very little place. https://t.co/jOUBwNESas

The majority of the people of Northern Ireland voted against any kind of Brexit, nevermind the hard Brexit sought by Johnson’s government and the DUP.

Frost and the UK Govt have been bad faith actors all along. Some here want the NI Protocol to be removed and renegotiated. Would you agree to renegotiate something with someone who would simply renege on what they agreed all over again? Of course you wouldn't. https://t.co/KSb4K20eSd
