Ukraine: Boris Johnson says Putin threatened him with missile strike
Chomper Higgot replied to webfact's topic in World News
Putin obviously misjudged Johnson. Threats that would injure/kill others won’t get a pro Putin response Putin. A bung would be far more effective. -

BREAKING; Nadhim Zahawi has been sacked ! by the Prime Minister
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not so fast. During Wednesday’s PMQ the PM stated the investigation would conclude around the end of next week. (Due process and all that). And yet here we are reading news of Zahawi being sacked this morning, so presumably the ‘investigation’ (we are told ‘Due Process’) suddenly went into hyper-drive. What might have brought about such a change in speed? Perhaps it’s the news now being reported that Sunak was informed of Zahawi’s problems months back and before Sunak appointed him. This becomes a bit of a problem for Sunak who’s official spokesperson has made statements to Parliament that Sunak had no prior knowledge of Zahawi’s tax problems. This might not be a problem for Sunak if he had solid backing on his own benches, but he does not, many on the right of the party want him gone. What a right Tory mess this is. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nadhim-zahawi-tax-rishi-sunak-hmrc-b2271243.html?amp -

And well past time too. Sunak has exposed his own weaknesses, hiding behind ‘due process’ when he has absolute authority to dismiss anyone in Government. Zahawi should have resigned, he certainly should have been dismissed as soon as the fact of his tax evasion became known. Thank you Dan Neidle for facing down the legal treats from Zahawi, threats made against Neidle for doing nothing other than telling the truth. Now let’s be hearing about the source of tens of millions of pounds funneled to the businesses of Zahawi’s wife from undisclosed sources. Dig the rot out root and branch. -

Incorrect. Unsubstantiated is something not proved to be true by evidence. It might be true, it might not be true, it’s unsubstantiated, there is no means to determine if it is true or not. Which is why verifiable facts matter. -

Fact based arguments v unsubstantiated opinions, yes I understand the aversion to the former. -

I know, verifiable facts are so inconvenient. -

Let’s go to the official definition and how it is measured depending on variations in the make up of households. Take it up with HMGov if it’s not simplistic enough: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-low-income-is-measured/text-only-how-low-income-is-measured -
A reliance upon the official ONS data is not an ‘issue’.
