When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Am not an energy analyst but why does seem every interview with a U.K. minister this week included a pointed question about why not drilling more in North Sea and almost none about renewables/net zero as an energy security imperative? It’s bizarre, frankly

The far right will never fix anything. Ever. We shouldn’t need to learn that lesson again. “It’s not that the remedies offered by Farage, Rupert Lowe, various fascists and some Conservatives are cruel and morally shameful, which they are, but that they are impractical and costly” (Independent)
Labour's slow, sure
progress is an easy target for Farage
Home secretary Yvette Cooper's hard graft on the small boat crisis has to be seen to be working (AFP/Getty)
SEAN O'GRADY

Maybe everyone can agree on one thing: if stopping the boats was easy, it would have been done by now. Whether the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, ever deluded herself otherwise, a year of only limited progress in the government's mission to "smash the gangs" must have brought home to her just how intractable irregular migration is.Just the same as Brexit, in fact, when he also made extravagant claims about how it would solve our economic problems, and then blamed everyone else when it left the nation impoverished. Now he's blaming the migrants rather than Brussels, and his policies - little more than slogans - should be treated with extreme caution.
Leaving the ECHR, for example - which he used to call "Brexit 2.0" before Brexit 1.0 turned out to be a flop - wouldn't change a thing over in Calais.
