    This fucking plum is OK with the PMs law breaking. Let them bask in Rwanda’s new dynamic economy.

    So what is the Archbishop's proposal on how to stop the lucrative and illegal trade by people traffickers? Why does he want to live with law breaking and dangerous voyages?

    Picked my son up from a club today and noticed this - a young Gary. ‘Gary’s’ are not completely dying out, there’s one in Worthing. God speed young Gary 👊🏼

    I posted this a couple of days ago. Let's go again with it. Let's shake up the British film and TV industry. Hands up British based screenwriters who need agents, or even just a break

    All these Tory MPs writing their opponents campaign literature for free is really sporting of them.

    The PM should focus on Ukraine and delivering for the people of the UK. He is the right person to lead the party and the country. The PM has apologised and accepted responsibility. We need to be united in our resolve and move forward under his leadership.👍

    Showing Putin we can replace a PM & chancellor, still operate AND supply Ukraine is the last thing he wants Russians to see.

    If we replaced a prime minister during the Second World War I'm pretty fucking confident we can do it during this one.

    I’d say having the country run by a lying criminal who openly lies and breaks the law without consequences, means it’s already destabilised.

    Critic Roger Gale becomes the first Tory MP to come out and say there *will* be a moment of reckoning - but not yet because of Ukraine

    lol - accounts like this is everything that’s wrong with Twitter. If it can’t deal with this bot, then misinformation and anonymous harassment continues. Nothing to do with free speech. Of course, it can deal with it. It chooses not to, which is worse.

    The pro EU Boris liberal left Witch Hunt is back on.

    If they pay within 14 days it's only half of them that have to resign.

    British film/tv agents can we get some hands up if you're accepting submissions? There's a lot of us in the UK who are tired of seeing just the US side of screenwriting represented on Twitter. Connecting writers and agents - let's do it

    Can we get the and in on the conversation? So many of us with so few opportunities and no representation because won't, don't or can't read scripts. And then when they do they ghost you. Lots of scriptwriters here

    Watched 'The Tinder Swindler' and 'Bad Vegan'. Asked my wife for a tenner. Told me to fuck off. I'm not cut out for this life.

    1) Let me tell you a crazy story. It's consumed 2 years of my life. As COVID-19 shut down the world in April 2020, I decided to follow the money. I began with a call to a no-name federal contractor who’d somehow landed a $35M deal for masks. Hours later, I’m on a private jet …

    How convenient. Yet another tax related law that needs to change. Just because it’s legal/illegal doesn’t mean it’s right.

    …who, if anyone, requested to see it. “The inquiry will be carried out with a view to potential criminal prosecutions because it is against the law to leak someone’s tax status.”

    Just tallied up some numbers and so far I've worked with 48 writers already this year and I've read just under 400 scripts in the past 2.5 years. If any agents or producers are looking for something specific, let me know because I may already have it

    Isn't this why Phillip Green's wife lived in Monaco and all his money went through her? At least she slummed it in Bongo Bongo Land with Jonny Foreigner, the poor thing.

    That’s because non-dom status is about where a person’s natural home is. Essentially, it is a test based on the evidence that they are only temporarily resident in the UK because they retain the intention to return to another place, which is their natural home.

    It’s been reported that the Chancellor’s wife, Akshata Murthy, is not tax domiciled in the UK. This has been confirmed by a statement issued on her behalf. But I think the statement of facts issued by her is wrong. And I also suggest HMRC could challenge this claim. A thread….
