When a local councillor resigns it typically costs taxpayers between £18,000 and £35,000 to fund the resulting standalone by-election. Unprepared clowns getting in on a free Farage pass with little or no effort are costing us money. Don’t vote Reform..

Would be very limited for £10bn over ten years. More like £250bn based on previous government/military estimates.

“Reform will end ‘something for nothing’ Britain.” - Nigel Farage. He receives £98,599 a year as an MP, yet for more than three months this year he didn't cast a single parliamentary vote or make a single written contribution or speech in Parliament either. But yes, let’s shout at poor people

Really! That seems odd to me. I was there for 3 weeks last year. Buenos Aires, El Calefate and El Chalten. No hint of animosity or anyy mention of the Falklands. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Ive got British friends who have lived there for 30+ years. Never heard of any problems!

Ive just researched this and its 300,000. HMRC dont use term 'audits' but inspection and compliance checks are in the hundreds of thousands per year.

The figures I quoted were from 2020 too as you will see from the ONS website. The usual definitions of UHNW (super-rich) would be the top 0.1% or even less. Most people's wealth in the 10% to perhaps 1% is property and pension. Not exactly liquidity that makes paying £60k+ tax bill straightforward.

I see Farage is doing exactly nothing to reduce tensions. He really is the most disgusting piece of shit. The very worse politician in recent times.

To be in the top 10% you'd need a total wealth of £1.2M. That would be property equity, investments, pension pot etc. So for example doctors and most 'professionals' would be 'caught' by that. Top 1% might be a more appropriate segment.

Wrong. Video was encoded using helical scanned stripes diagonally across the tape. Audio was linear along the edge. Easy to change audio with a minor alteration or on machines equipped for over dubbing.

The 'UK' doesn't own the oil extracted. So it cant 'not sell' it. It is owned by She'll, BP, Equinox, Total Energy etc. Private companies that pay/paid huge amount for licenses.

Good but hardly brilliant. Pretty much anyone keeping abreast of things already knows all this and more. It a mild case of stating the bleeding obvious! So much weak journalism especially. On the part of the BBC and Sky. Some good expert led commentary from Al Jazeera.

Here is the PM talking to us after yesterday's COBRA meeting and before the press conference on the Middle East. So good to have a sensible, intelligent, grown up PM during this crisis, after years of terrible PMs. The thought of any other current party leader dealing with this really scares me.

The damage they’ve done and the way they carry on about mandates you’d think they won the referendum by 70/30 or something instead of it being just a bit more than a draw.

Agree. Same applies to the tories pre-Reform! FPTP and the two party system that resulted might have served the country reasonably well in the past (might) but now its a disaster forcing people to vote for least worse or tactically! We're screwed until we have electoral reform.
