I already won't eat chicken because I can't be certain how the birds have been raised.

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:

Fuck me, but that's crass. No surprise I suppose but it's hideous.

Is this how we make economics sustainable? As part of a series on current economic thinking, Richard Murphy outlines Kate Raworth’s argument for a sustainable economic model

Modern economics still focuses overwhelmingly on increasing output, often ignoring whether that growth improves wellbeing or damages the environment.

There is another way to measure economic success holistically.

Donut economics.

Prof Richard Murphy explains

#FBPE is having a Campaign Wave (aka Tweet Storm) on Friday, 10 April, to support the pro-EU Tisza party in the elections in Hungary.

They may beat Orbán’s Fidesz party which is obstructing important decision-making in the EU.

Politics has unexpectedly hit a special interest of mine so here is a quick rundown on the Avignon Papacy.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

In Copenhagen a few weeks ago, I was shown a Danish app that tells users which products are American, so that they know not to buy them. At the time it was the most popular app in the country.

Too damn right we won't.

And a lovely bloke with a fantastically dry sense of humour. At least in my experience of him.

I'm surprised you need to ask the question. Of course he is.

All I can say is that they really did learn from the Jewish experience in world war two, and in the case of the Zionists what they learned was completely the wrong lesson.

🚨Reform’s new housing chief has sparked anger after saying “everyone dies in the end” and “fires happen” in an interview, suggesting post-Grenfell safety regulations have gone too far. #UKNews

Can I just flippantly say that I’d pay good money to watch trump try to deal with the Minions!

Yep. It took 30 minutes to get through Athens airport last week and that was with a single plane load arriving. Pretty much no one else in the hall. I shudder to think what the delays are going to be like at a busy time.

They are absolute shits. They're disgusting and they're war criminals.

I know why you've done it like that but from an accessibility point of view it's unreadable. Please consider those who don't necessarily have 20/20 vision.

19 for me.

Surely you mean oh the hypocrisy?

They came in some really horrid colours - mine was limeflower green!

Mind you back in the day many years ago I had a Van Den Plas Princess in limeflower green that looked a lot like this one - www.bradleyjamesclassics.co.uk/index.php/li... - though that can't be mine, because mine pretty much fell apart.

I think someone needs an eye test to figure out why they thought that was a good colour for a car.

Probably throwing in the few bits of Italian, and Spanish that I know, plus some Finnish swearing.

And I would maliciously speak all four at once in front of Mr. Badloser.

I grew up speaking German alongside English (my paternal grandmother lived with us and spoke not a word of English), and then in the 1990s I went to live and work in France for the best part of a decade. So that's 3 languages and now I also have a smattering of Danish...

And then keep them.

Ooh. And now she's complaining about not having free speech. She does. She exercised it. And now she's finding out it has consequences.

She's a right wing nutcase. Pay no attention to her.
