Where was the similar UK MSM outcry when Boris Johnson was appointed as UK Foreign Secretary AND was then allowed to become UK's Prime Minister after failing security clearance, to the point of being proactively blocked from accessing state top secret materials as he was deemed a security risk??!

A lot of people spent days going "OMG OMG OMG popcorn at the ready SiR kEiTh obvs lying; Olly Robbins has the receipts". Now they're like "too clever to get caught, they did it with VIBEZ."

Israeli soldiers using sexual assault to force Palestinians out of West Bank, report says

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.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Reform dragged into tax row by Richard Tice’s unpaid £100,000 The party’s deputy leader says he will ‘pay what is owed if numbers need rechecking’ after more revelations from The Sunday Times

@gabrielpogrund.bsky.social:

‘Exclusive: Richard Tice failed to pay £100k in tax, benefiting his investment firm — which then gave big sums to Reform

Tice gave contradictory reasons for why four shell companies paid zero tax. @DanNeidle says they flouted "basic" rule, face HMRC probe’

Reform boss 'owes £98k in tax' after demanding Rayner sack over smaller mix-up Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice reportedly owes tens of thousands in unpaid tax, after claiming Angela Rayner should be sacked for owing less than half of what he allegedly owes

Richard Tice apparently does not think that Richard Tice should resign over the incredible amount of tax found to be owed, despite calling for Angela Raynor to do just that over something objectively much, much smaller if she had "any moral decency"...

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.

Etkili Haber Yeni Sayfa TKIL ABE! @etkilihaberyeni Ø Translated from Turkish Show original New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time and made shocking statements: -We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth. -We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era. -The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.

-After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty. -President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people. -(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) I get your joke, and l even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning. -According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you. -It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.

-(When the host interrupted him) No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister. -(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.

The ‘Money Launderers Dream’: Who Is Really Bankrolling Nigel Farage? Why are crypto billionaires, tax-avoiding media organisations and the employees of foreign oligarchs really putting their money into Reform UK?

Among Reform UK’s biggest donors is the Crypto billionaire Ben Delo, who was handed a fawning spread in the Telegraph this week to explain why he is giving £4m to the party.

What is buried in the piece that Delo is a convicted criminal who pled guilty to violating money laundering law in the US

I'd apologise but I'm about to go to sleep so won't be able to reply for at least 7 hours 😘
