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

A 🧵 with the evidence:

Newspaper famous for lying repeats lies by well known liar, Richard Tice, famous for telling lies about fossil fuels because rich liars pay him to repeat their lies.

No, Britain Is Not Having a Christian Revival A study said church attendance had soared among British young people, a trend reversal that excited religious conservatives around the world. Turns out it wasn’t true.

The U.K. was in the middle of a “quiet revival” of Christianity — and Gen Z was driving the shift — said a report published last year. Turns out it wasn't true.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Greenlanders overwhelmingly oppose Trump’s efforts to annex their country – as do many Americans. Yet, the Telegraph (whose owners have huge fossil fuel investments) is demanding that “Britain… let him have it”.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.

It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Veganuary can be a piece of cake: cooks and dieticians share 12 ways to make delicious plant-based food

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

What kind of headline is this?

2014: “I admire Putin as an operator”
2010-14: Appeared on Russia today 17 times
2017: Knighted by a 7 year old girl on RT
2022: blames EU for Russian invasion
2024: “We provoked this war … of course it’s his fault – he’s used what we’ve done as an excuse”

Is this not dodgy?

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?

Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

How WhatsApp messages revealed ex-reform politicians pro-russian vibes.

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

NEW: Important thread from @thenerve.news.

Gill’s sentence sets a clear legal benchmark – leaving the way clear for Parliament to finally hold a much-needed inquiry into Kremlin meddling in domestic affairs…

This inquiry cannot help but look at events surrounding the EU Referendum

Zack on Bold Politics podium

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

There goes the First Amendment.

The Police say there were only 9 arrests today.

Are we ok with this? The Police NOT arresting violent thugs who are actually dangerous, but arresting little old ladies who aren't.

Is that ok? Is that good?

How it started / how it is going

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here…

Zack Polanski has been on Question Time 0 times.
Nigel Farage has been on Question Time 38 times.

But they both lead parties with 4 MP's.

When is Zack getting his 38 appearances?

Why are the wealthy so well off? The accumulation of wealth has been driving inequality for decades. In the first of two articles we explain the injustice of our wealth taxation

In 1985, we taxed investment income like earnings.

We knew how to be fair– and then we stopped.

Five ways the tax system makes the rich richer.

Piece in an unknown publication written by Oliver Kornetzke on August 18th, 2025 that reads behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman the coward of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of Klansman the sexism of a back alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk,and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul. All spray-pained orange and paraded like a prize hog at the county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been— arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation knees before money, power and spite it doesn’t just lose its soul. It shits out this bloated, obscenity and calls it a leader

Absolutely perfect description. If only this had been his obituary.

Numerous stories in the UK of racist attacks on nurses, taxi drivers and people’s homes. Is it any wonder when so much of the media, including mainstream have demonised migrant communities on a daily basis. What did they expect? And some have the audacity to run the racist attack stories too!

Leader of the Commons rules out reviewing parliamentary prayers Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell MP has ruled out a review of parliamentary prayers stating Parliament remains ‘attached to the Church of England, and that’s sort of important’. Humanists UK...

Disappointing to hear the Leader of the Commons rule out a review of parliamentary prayers. For a modern, diverse UK, our parliament should reflect all constituents, not a minority. Reform in the way of an inclusive secular ceremony desperately needed. humanists.uk/2025/07/03/l...
