Reform UK’s Richard Tice allegedly failed to pay £100k corporation tax.

He ran 4 shell companies that reportedly didn't pay tax on profits from 2020 to 2022, when his firm donated £1.1m to party. Also used a trust in Jersey.

Claims tax non-payment was due to an error ... but six years elapsed.

Thames Water infrastructure average age is 79 yrs. 40% of assets are 100+ yrs old.

Water industry average is 56 years.

At current rate, it will take 700+ yrs to renew assets.

Since 1989 industry neglected investment, £88bn+ dividends paid, customers fleeced.

Privatisation isn't the answer.

Trump admits his "working class" moments for the cameras were all staged. He calls the photo ops "a little bit tacky" and "embarrassing” - which is ironic since Trump is so tacky and embarrassing all the time. All the rich do is lie to workers. That’s America.
