"One of the reasons I did so badly at school was that I didn't get to mark my own homework. We all saw the Channel Four report." Reform has cleared itself of all wrongdoing over its donations, but is the real trouble for Farage just around the corner? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/refo...

Reform investigation into Reform finds Reform did nothing wrong. Is it any surprise? | The News Agents
Reform UK has investigated itself, and found it broke no rules and no laws when it accepted overseas donations in a Channel 4 sting. Was there going to be any other outcome?

Three years ago we were finalising a report led by our colleagues in Gaza on gender based violence and cultural methodologies. We’d already experienced 5 ‘wars’ together in 15 years, and extreme cuts to research through ODA GCRF. Turns out that was a prelude to the genocide unleashed days later

Say there is a perfectly fine device to deliver asthma medication. Drugs companies can decide to change the hardware or the propellant. This could be for statutory reasons or maybe because the patent has expired. They can create a new device, discontinue the old one, and jack up prices.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.08:08 Thu 17 Sep
