A Reform-linked thinktank says it will call to abolish inheritance tax and phase out capital gains tax, proposals that would deliver significant tax cuts largely benefiting wealthier households and linking Reform to those policies.

Three more councillors have left Reform at Durham County Council, pushing the number of departures since the party seized control last year to 16. Allegations of bullying, ignored safeguarding concerns and contempt for mental health now surround the administration.

SmallBoatWatch repackages government figures as Reform propaganda, while its accompanying game turns the interception of people at sea into entertainment. People have died in that water.

Two senior figures giving two different answers about those involved. Anderson said there was “no chance” they were coming back. Tice said it was not for any individual to make that determination. Same scandal, same party, completely different story. Reform cannot keep its line straight.

Nigel Farage returned to Parliament and, within hours, was already breaking its rules. That might seem minor on its own. It looks rather different when the same man is under investigation over an undeclared £5m gift and Reform remains under growing scrutiny elsewhere.
