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:
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

Irony died when Kissinger accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, but this runs it a close second.
The BBC is meant to be a public service broadcaster, sharing info with us so we can make good decisions and understand the world around us. Instead, it continues to fail the public, publishing half baked articles which expose people to bad info which leaves them vulnerable to grifters. (1/n)

I know it is a bit more complex but Wi-Fi that requires a 10 min timeout per hour when you can maybe go order a coffee and talk to someone. I would also vote for a max of 3 hours in a day as well
Europe is the shield against imperialism. The US is gone.

This is so well written. Conveys the enormity and carelessness of what Trump and his acolytes have done.
Text reads: "The Strait of Hormuz is not just an oil chokepoint. It is much more than that. In addition to oil it is a key transit point for liquified natural gas, aluminium, helium, petrochemicals and fertiliser. What we are seeing is akin to no-deal Brexit, in military form and on a global scale. It is a system-wide event with primary, secondary and tertiary causal waves which touch nearly all areas of the economy."
We are starkly underestimating the impact of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a much graver situation than people realise iandunt.substack.com/p/the-mad-em...
Never realised this was a thing (as a man), then read this in The Guardian - this is the follow up letters which show the scale of it

Russ Cargill
"Overall, Cargill is nothing more than a sociopathic, deceiving and greedy person who doesn't have any redeeming qualities as he only cares about getting rid of Springfield while never caring for anyone other than himself"

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

🧵 In the 18 months leading up to the Champions League final, if someone suggested that, in not backing Pochettino with the squad overhaul he wanted, the club was setting itself up on a journey towards a relegation battle within 10 years, 99.9% of fans would describe that outlook as ridiculous.
Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Table showing the estimated numbers who will have dies in 2025 caused by the cuts in USAID
How many more children must die....
Well Elon has killed somewhere between 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 in 2025 due to his cuts. Perhaps he could set about reversing that and then f*cking off to Mars
