So pleased Laura Kuenssberg is back this week. That means there is no chance Robert Jenrick will be asked about his promise to cut flight tax after a £40k donation from an airline owner.

Boston and Skegness MP says tax reports are ‘smear campaign’ The under-fire MP for Boston and Skegness has hit out at further reports about his tax affairs, saying there is a ‘smear campaign’ against him.

Tricky Dicky plays the victim card...

A cynic might think their lack of an evidence trail was a purposeful omissio🤨

Fake Daily mail headline. We blame migrants so you don’t blame billionaires

Keeping the masses arguing amongst ourselves is the prime distraction activity of the 0.1%. Because if we were to coalesce around legitimate shared grievances, they’re toast.

Labour MPs need to realise this isn’t about getting rid of Starmer it’s about destabilising the Labour govt and getting rid of all of you .. for Nigel and his mates ! The media have been on overdrive on this since July 24 .. it’s the latest attempt but not the last !

I read ICE and thought of the US. Then I read in again and remembered Internal Combustion Engine.🤦🏻‍♀️ Made more sense then.

This is what community minded activists do to make lamp posts look better! Great work, PTCIC.

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 87 voting and election cases in 44 states and the District of Columbia. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of free and fair elections and democracy is on the docket.

Quick and Meaningless Data Collection Help me collect some data to use for student examples! The questions on geographic region and gender will only be used for subsetting the data, not for student analysis. No questions are required -…

I NEED HELP!

Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats!

I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again!

Please circulate widely!

Oooh, if I had a spare couple of millions I’d be in!

Ideology over pragmatism remains a common thread with the Tories and their voters.

Successive governments have failed to learn lessons of Grenfell Tragedy The conditions that facilitated the tragedy remain unchecked

9th anniversary of the Grenfell fire is approaching. 72 people died, thousands more scarred.

Main causes remain unaddressed.
Lust for higher profits
Unaccountable corporate power
Performance related executive pay
Failure of regulators
Indifference of govts to the cry of the people

Nothing changed.

Stop letting water companies delay fines, urges Oxfordshire MP Henley and Thame MP Freddie van Mierlo says the law currently

MP introduces Bill to prevent England water companies from "delaying" payment of fines.

Companies negotiate fines, which are later deferred/waived. It is a licence to abuse.

Execs rewarded for boosting profits through illegal practices, face no fines.

Bill won't become law. Govt/Tories oppose it.

“Paper” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Did it outline its methodology?
Did it reference reliable sources?
Did it offer an in depth analysis and evaluation of its findings?
Was it peer reviewed?
The list goes on.

He’s in good company where he is then.🫤

Given that 70% of Conservative voters want closer ties to Europe it seems discordant that they don’t want to rejoin even the customs union or the single market either. It’s that “have your cake & eat it” approach that stymied Brexit negotiations.

Bail outs should be “paid for” with shares.

Are you campaigning within Parliament on this important nationwide issue?

You have to love a bit of good satire laced with sarcasm.

Just watched it last night. A timely reminder!

😢

Imagine being in a rural area like North Yorkshire…

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:

Here's one of Reform UK's candidates for next month's local elections in Westminster seriously telling me on X in 2023 that: “Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I’d tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.”

Politics often a funny hypocritical game. Farage now wants Starmer to resign - well when the US ambassadorial job was being considered he thought Mandelson would be a good appointment - by the way so did Badenoch and most of the media.

This is how the BBC publicly corrected a lie by Farage on the Today programme. Very lucky if you ever saw this.
