I thought Throuple was a quaint village in Suffolk Bunty and I visited on a weekend break back in 2021. This Great British Bake Off programme has become a viper’s nest of filth and pornography.😡

A barrister with reported longstanding ties to Farage conducts Reform’s internal inquiry and delivers a reassuring verdict. One trusts the potential conflicts were examined with rather more rigour than the allegations. Independence requires more than a wig and a favourable conclusion.

Deloitte fined £6.05m for dud audits at Go-Ahead Group. Fines passed to clients in higher charges. Big firms routinely deliver dud audits. None shut down. Regulator so impressed, set to reduce audit quality inspections, will rely on self-reporting by firms.

Thousands of active UK companies may have fraudulent directors. Anyone can form a company in the UK. Companies need one natural person as a director who can be non-UK resident. Too many small companies are fronts for crimes I have long called for companies to have one UK resident director.

I’m seriously worried about Lee Anderson MP. It’s been over 3 weeks since he has filmed himself fingering his meaty flaps. Has he: -Died? -Converted to Islam? -Turned vegan? -Had one of those stomach bugs that leads to what Dean our paperboy calls the “sharts?” -Lost his false teeth?🤔

Balanced article. I don't care where billionaires live. But we should all care about their investment (all investment) in this country. What has been the biggest hit to inward investment in recent years? It's not billionaires leaving, not even close... It's sodding Brexit again. #RejoinEU #UKPol

It's a common in trope in #fairy lore that a man mysteriously vanishes and then returns centuries later. He has spent the time in the land of the #fairies but it seems just a few hours to him. Returning to the mortal world, he soon crumbles into the dust of the dead. #WyrdWednesday #folklore
My beloved copy of the 1880 first edition of 'British Goblins' by Wirt Sikes. In gilt and white inlay, the cover shows a man vanishing to nothingness as another seeks to embrace him.
