Rising global temperatures are melting ice and exposing previously inaccessible oil fields in Greenland as well as opening up new trading routes across the north. I wonder if this is what Donald and Vlad have been discussing? 🤔

"Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit. Do you own a suit?" he continued. "A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the dignity of this office." *Dignity*? F**k me, has he met Donald Trump? 😆 🤡

Feeling so angry right now. JD Vance is an evil, vindictive piece of s**t, the US President is working for the Kremlin, and Musk is a drugged-up Nazi. For God’s sake Starmer, ditch this lot and back Europe. The so-called “special relationship” died in the Oval Office yesterday 😡🤬🤯

Either Musk, or Putin, or both have got something on Trump. The deranged orange monster, the President, is behaving like a Russian asset. W. T. F.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims. What he's doing is a travesty.

Blimey, this is big. Reform UK is already effectively receiving foreign donations. Via Private Eye
According to Reform UK's election manifesto, the UK is "ruled by an out-of-touch political class who have turned their backs on our country". So it's heartening that one of the party's latest big donations comes from a patriotic British businesswoman who lives in, er, Monaco.

On 5 December, the Electoral Commission released donation figures covering the third quarter of 2024. Hepburn Bio Care UK Ltd, a small company based in Southampton, gave Reform £20,000 – its third largest donation that quarter. Hepburn Bio Care is owned by founder Margaret Hepburn, a Brit who has lived in the tax haven since at least 2005.

The firm makes "environmentally friendly" cleaning products for cruise liners, including major operators like Carnival, and describes itself as a "multimillion dollar company". However, the UK branch which donated to Reform is listed as a "Small Company" that only publishes "filleted abridged" accounts and shows a small annual profit of £12,000 in the latest (2023) accounts – less than the sum it gave Reform.

Hepburn Bio Care does have branches in Monaco, Dubai and Florida, so it is possible the multimillions of dollars are in their accounts. It also supplies products to the "superyacht industry", suggesting Reform is not just a party for the have-nots, but the have-yachts too.

The article appears to be highlighting what it sees as irony in a political party that claims to represent people against an "out-of-touch political class" receiving significant donations from a Monaco-based businesswoman whose company provides services to luxury industries like cruise ships and superyachts.

Boris Johnson - who had donors pay for his (unnecessary) 10 Downing Street refurb, took an £800k loan from a guy he later made BBC Chair and took 5 holidays in his final year in office ALL paid for by other people …would like to speak to you for a moment about fiscal integrity.

Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK political groups: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Richard Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK: "If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

On a whim I decided to call myself “bikesandbakes” because I like cycling and baking (who’d have thought it!), but lately I haven’t had time for either of them. So here’s Ventoux in August and a cake from last year…
