Burnham is radical on devolution, public ownership and electoral reform. He has appointed serious people with proven track records. He is charismatic, has real emotional presence, and a proven appeal to voters. Why wouldn’t a progressive be excited? open.substack.com/pub/arguably...

This feels like it got buried amid all of the mounting allegations around Reform and Farage's funding. Farage leases property that he owns, to his own company, at exactly £10,000/year. That's a penny under the "over £10,000" rental-income declaration threshold. What is he trying to hide?

The arrangement, which could enable the Reform UK leader to lower his tax bill, falls outside parliamentary transparency rules

Seemingly Cottrell's mum has donated £1.5m to Refuk / Refuk-linked entities. Which seems a lot for a 'retired stylist' whose deceased husband left her a £1.5m estate. Reminds me of how Farage's gf could fund that Clacton house... There is no suggestion of any wrong-doing though. Or right-doing.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

This kind of whining - from France - is so very Brexit. Until we take responsibility for the inevitable consequences of our own stupid choices, we will stay stuck in a sulky dead-end calling other people names. Boris Johnson rejected these data sharing arrangements. You get what you pay for. (Times)
Brexit and asylum
Sir, We should be clear that Brexit is not the reason why the UK no longer has access to European criminal databases ("Brexit lets people-smugglers move to UK"
", Jul 3). It is
the spitefulness of the EU which insists that the UK should pay for leaving the bloc. The fight against organised crime should know no borders and only the EU negotiators would disagree. No wonder people say Brexit has failed.
