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 one of my party's recent prime ministers had redecorated the Number 10 flat in a way that ended up involving TWO separate inquiries and a Wikipedia page, I would simply not have put out a press release confirming that the current prime minister had spent less than the allowance he was given.
i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain
Dan Neidle looking at your taxes is the financial equivalent of the MenswearGuy examining your trousers.
Anyone who describes a mere twenty-hour period as a marathon in any negotiation where there are fundamental disagreements, including peace talks, shows they do not understand negotiations.
Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.
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:
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
The loud aggressive litigant pulls the case and pays indemnity costs to the other party, and enters into a compromise which leaves the other party far better off than before the case was brought.
Bullying and boasting, but based on blundering and bombast.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
This is why the 25th Amendment exists.
This is the purpose of having the 25th Amendment.
To not use this power to remove the president is not a passive act, a mere option: it is a positive decision to misuse the constitution.
Home Office robotically repeating its line-to-take "We must be honest about the impact" - while steadfastly refusing to be remotely honest about the impact on individuals/families, social care, or the economy and public finances.

A powerful US spy-tech company linked to genocide in Gaza, ICE deportations, and Trump’s war with Iran is now expanding across Europe into our hospitals, police and data systems. We must expose it and stop its expansion action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-03...
Absolutely appalling that so much damage to British businesses and people’s lives should be caused by the triumph of prejudice and ignorance over prosperity and cooperation. And for our media and politicians to have been so complicit in that damage - is unforgivable. Brexit still sickens me.
This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18
The electrician who supposedly signed the forms went bust three years earlier. We checked with the electricians' certification authority. Not registered.
Ironically, their given address was an abandoned shop in Greenwich opposite... the constituency office of housing minister Matthew Pennycook.
David Dimbleby labels King Charles’ US visit ‘an embarrassment’ - urging ministers to call it off
BBC presenter says he feels sorry for monarch having state dinner with leader who ‘goes out of his way’ to insult Britain, UK troops and Nato

The Prime Minister’s plan for immigration will keep people working in key industries like care in temporary status for a decade or more, it will keep people in insecure work, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised - when did that become the policy of a Labour government?
That UK government ever considers asserting its contractual rights against a major supplier is rare and welcome.
And here, this is especially welcome.
This will not be easy but it can be done, but it is good it is being seriously considered at all.

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money.
So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK?

Since Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalists from a range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @gbnewsonline.bsky.social . Their conclusion: the channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? www.thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbrid...
oh, because we have an uncodified but in many ways pretty effective constitution, hope that helps
The noise of ministers complaining about pesky lawyers is usually the sound of a rights-based system working.
The 'defence' of Polanski that oh he just wanted women to feel better about themselves and obviously what women need to feel better about themselves is bigger breasts is deeply misogynistic and it's grim that so-called progressives prefer to normalize it than accept that their fave did something bad
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.
Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

What they’re basically saying is that Starmer and the UK isn’t allowed to operate an even moderately independent foreign policy outside of the United States. That is both ahistoric, wrong and weird for people who constantly tell us how sovereignty is what matters most.
This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Truly, truly, truly disgusting.
Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
