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

Britain's Trump

To understand why the USA is where it is today, all you need to do is see that Trump cannot tolerate even the mildest, insightful criticism from the Pope, but Trump will allow Putin to humiliate him deeply and constantly, while still craving Putin’s approval.

I met Andy Kershaw once at a do. We fell into a conversation about BBC management stupidity. He said that the suits didn't understand the power of the BBC and the respect in which it was held globally. He said he'd once been without his passport at a border post somewhere in Africa.

Trump’s war? Trump’s peace? Trump’s On-Off-On tariffs? What lies behind the daily diet of news of a President whose Indecision is final? Our new 4 part miniseries is a guide to how rationally we can deal with what could be the end of the “American Century”

King and Queen will not meet Epstein survivors during US state visit The legal implications of Charles and Camilla coming into contact with any survivors of paedophile financier Epstein make a meeting impossible while there are ongoing UK police investigations

Wow, it's a place you want to move to. Thanks Louis.

All the worst cunts in the world - from journalism to politics, the Kermlin to the White House - are suffering tonight.

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.

This is surely the biggliest of bigly losses, and at a huge cost in human lives. Pathetic arse lickers of the Fourth Estate.

And the rest of the world gets to pay US / Isreali reparations? Evil genius move.

As I approach late middle-age I find myself thinking more about the nature of forgiveness, and how much more positive it would be if, rather than endlessly persecuting his enemies for perceived slights, Trump were simply to explode on the toilet in a nappy.

Justice Dept. says the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional The DOJ concluded that a law requiring presidential records preservation is unconstitutional, setting the path to potentially upend decades-old legal precedent.

This is a wholesale assault on democracy, legal accountability, and history. Trump is declaring that Congress and the public will never be able to access the records (and evidence) of his Administration. A declaration that Trump is a dictator, beyond all accountability

"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP" https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116351998782539414

There's not much more to say about that Trump post, except that this is not what "the greatest champion of faith that we've ever seen in a president" (Paula White) posts on the most sacred day in the Christian year.

Trump evangelicalism needs a serious reckoning with what it has chosen to worship.

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.

To be clear, we totally can pretend it's not our war on the simple basis that it isn't.
