I find it very difficult to believe she espouses any Labour principles at all. She comes across as an opportunist who picked the party with the best chance of getting her elected. If young people are turned off voting these days I think it's because of people like her.

Arrogant and believes her own advertising. I'm with the bunch who thinks she's out-Reforming Reform and I'll see her 'FO' and raise her a 'FRO' and a 'when you get there FRO some more'.

I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

If you are an older person, a family with small children or anyone with a disability or medical condition affecting toilet habits, the availability or otherwise of a clean accessible toilet facility could make the difference between visiting a town or attraction or not.

But as he said, although insider trading is illegal & it seems to be rife, it's almost impossible to get a conviction due to the difficulty of finding actual evidence of a tip-off. Also, since the US justice system is stuffed with Trump appointees it's even more reason why it'll never happen.

What should have happened: the REIT paid no tax but the Tice companies holding shares in the REIT paid £98k tax on the dividends they received.

What actually happened: none of the companies paid any tax.

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions

I've been twice but I doubt I'll ever go again. Under the current regime they'd not let me in anyway as I'm too 'woke' and as a woman I wouldn't feel safe, with the levels of toxic masculinity currently fashionable there.

Me too. But Hegseth and his pals prefer the OT stories with all the smiting. They're not too keen on the New Testament with all its woke nonsense about turning the other cheek and blessed peacemakers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH_6...

The thing is, most of his audience won't have read the Bible either and will take it as gospel (sic). If they can't find an appropriate Old Testament fire and brimstone passage they're quite happy for someone to invent one.

My theory is they knew who he was, but were working on 'set a thief to catch a thief', which proved to be a very bad idea.

Please repost if you agree that the BBC has been undermining democracy and enabling foreign interference in our politics by promoting and protecting Farage.

Ironically the BBC stumbled on a really important story: Desperate asylum seekers being forced to turn to fraudulent fee-charging “advisors” to navigate a system that is intentionally impossibly baroque and from which all sources of free advice have been removed.

But no: they chose Fake Gay Panic.

Of course the oligarchs want to automate their factories. Buy a robot, sack the staff. No wages bill to pay, no unions, no maternity or sick leave and robots don't need sleep or meal breaks so can run 247/7. But if everyone's unemployed, who will buy the stuff the factories are making?
