Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson
Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting
Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS
Nothing to see or everything to see
Palantir must be removed from the NHS
I checked this too.
*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.
*No other* party logo displayed.
In local election purdah.
This is not normal. At all.
I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".
How quickly we forget. The liar boris Johnson was promoted to Foreign Secretary by Theresa May having failed the vetting process.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

An investigation from the Sunday Times has alleged Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax on shell companies.
Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.
Reform won’t say that Richard Tice’s companies paid the correct tax. Because they didn’t.
Why won’t they hold their deputy leader to the same standards they demand of others?
“They’ll be crying on the streets of Pontcanna tonight!” Love it🤭
@gabrielpogrund.bsky.social "It’s the tax Tice failed to pay on profits from his property firm deposited in 4 shell entities: Tisun 1, 2, 3, 4.Their parent then donated to Reform."Just checked #BBCNews #website no sign UK, Home, Politics. Why? #BBCiplayer Laura Kuenssberg asked about it on her show. Please excuse me for not being able to reproduce all of a very long piece. I posted important clips yesterday on Bluesky.

Hilarious isn’t it, I pity anyone who wants to vote for a party that only wishes to serve themselves.

Many people prompting Tice to resign over his unpaid taxes. Quite rightly in my view, but he won’t go and Farage won’t sack him so we’re stuck with them!
Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022.
He's now offering to "put things right".
Go on then Richard - resign.
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
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
NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.
First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.
Donald Trump is acting like a Mafia boss running a protection racket. "Nice trade deal you got there. Shame if something happened to it."
This must be the final straw. We can't reward Trump with a state visit from our King.
Wes Streeting must kick Palantir out of our NHS.
Donald Trump's favourite tech giant shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Brits' private health data.
There are fantastic British tech firms who would be far better and safer for the NHS.
Reform UK's energy prize winners, Wigan-based Raymond and June Dibble "are the very same couple who nominated Lee Moffitt to become the Wigan branch chair of Reform UK."
Moffitt appears in the publicity video posted by Farage of their miraculous win. Fancy that!

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference
Nigel Farage is desperately trying to deflect attention from this scandal, but it won't wash.
Richard Tice is not denying that his business did not pay the taxes it owed: it's as simple as that.
Reform can't now claim that the rules don't apply to him.

🤡 The Brexit irony is extraordinary.
Britain helped design a system to manage/control borders across Europe.
Then we chose to leave, turning ourselves from insiders into third-country aliens.
Now 🇬🇧 citizens are subject to very scrutiny Brexiters wanted to impose on others.
Brexit lost control.
Nigel Farage is the main promoter of the stupidest British foreign policy decision since Suez. How anyone can consider him a viable candidate for national leadership after Brexit is beyond me.
Richard Tice is trying to spin this.
He’s broken the law. It’s simple.
And he’s done so in an unpatriotic act of offshoring too.
The first American leader of the Catholic Church has fiercely criticized the war in Iran, deepening tensions between the United States and the Vatican.
We already knew that Farage's Reform is filled with mega chancers & grifters. It is widely known that Richard Tice has aggressively avoided tax legally due. Now we find out his company failed to pay tax legally due. So much for public services & standards. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
This is a major scandal for Richard Tice, Nigel Farage and Reform UK.
Reform aren’t on the side of working people: they’re just out for themselves.
I like Presidents who DON'T tweet.
