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".

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Here it is, all broken down and detailed. Almost 2 MILLION QUID income, on top of his parliamentary salary. And that's what he officially declares.

If you really believe that #Farage is on the side of working people... Well, let's just say you're a tad gullible! 🤮

Basingstoke's River Loddon could become a UNESCO World Heritage Site A campaign to get UNESCO World Heritage status for the River Loddon is underway.

The excellent Feargal Sharkey is there, because chalk streams are rare, unique, precious wildlife habitats.

Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph reports (behind a pay wall) that Thames Water is discharging sewage into the Loddon.

Tory privatisation of water must be reversed!

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
