Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

🚨BREAKING: Liverpool City Region's buses are coming into public control today HUGE FIRST STEP to rescue local buses from Thatcher's Wild West deregulation and privatisation Ultimately our buses must be fully regulated in public ownership, to stop profits and serving our communities
GRaphic that highlights four models of bus ownership in the UK from full privatisation to the Manchester model where buses are privately owned but the market is regulated, to the Reading model where the buses are publicly owned but the market is deregulated, and lastly to We Own It's proposed model where the buses are publicly owned and the market is regulated

Hugely courageous move by @zackpolanski.bsky.social. It's the Burnham honeymoon, so obviously it's a challenge. But an insurgent by-election campaign could expose Labour for changing only its style, not its substance. This is Holborn and St. Pancras' chance to send Labour a message...

Kenny Tete is a lazy signing that smacks of desperation from Everton! And as much as I like Richarlison, if the finances involved in the deal with N'Diaye are what is being reported, then that is also poor business! Feels like the club is being run by complete amateurs!!! 🔵⚪️⚽️😠

Has Polanski already forced a major turn? The BBC has elevated the line I was given from a labour official about what developers "must" do to a government spokesperson. Afaik nothing ik current policy expressly mandates this.
