Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Asking the families of the victims of crime their opinion of the sentence is to misunderstanding the justice system. On Newsnight currently.

It's strange there is 'no money' for Social Care. But actually there is and it is all being spent on bombs.

Before the 1975 health and safety at work act hundreds of people died at work each year. Fishing, building and mining saw the highest death tolls. But, hey, we're only on the earth to make money for fekkers like Tice.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

Let's hope there's at least a commitment to another referendum before the end of this government. Otherwise is recedes into history.

Gove claimed his father's business was ruined by the common fisheries policy in 1970s. His dad denied it and said he supported the EEC. Strange motivations for a political stance.

Prince William, heir to the UK throne, collected £2.5m rent for rat-infested Dartmoor prison via the Duchy of Cornwall. The Duchy owns multi-billion property, runs businesses, pays no corporation & capital gains tax. The Duke voluntarily pays income tax but details are not known. archive.ph/NjkbH

We already knew Richard Tice aggressively avoided tax. Now we’re told his company just plain failed to pay tax that was legally due. For someone supposedly in public service he goes to extreme lengths to avoid paying his fair share towards public services www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

Ten years after Brexit, the UK is a divided nation frozen in time. No economic gain, culture wars rife, minorities scapegoated. Parties jostle over who can be more authoritarian; say little about inequalities, civil rights, public ownership, quality of life. Architect of Brexit became richer.

Margaret Thatcher died 13 years ago today. Everything broken in Britain comes from Thatcher. Filthy rivers. Ripoff electricity. Landlords. Trillions in Oil/gas stolen. No Social Housing. All Thatcher's poison.

The richest 1% & their companies will take £943 billion in profit this year They pay an average of less than 20% tax on this While you pay 28% tax on everything over £12,571 They take 12 times more after living costs than the other 99% combined This simply isn’t sustainable
