I checked this too.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

Horrifically, this is true.

Colonisers counted Australia's indigenous people as part of the nation's flora and fauna

The 1971 Census of Population and Housing was the first time Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were included in the population count.

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:

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint!

It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

Recent BBC articles highlight misconduct by a small number of unscrupulous advisers who charge thousands to fabricate asylum claims. This is fraud & must be stopped. But the coverage is selective, harmful & risks obscuring the wider reality of access to legal advice. 🧵

Migrants are making false domestic abuse allegations to stay in the UK, BBC investigation finds In the third part of an undercover investigation, the BBC reveals how rules aimed at protecting abuse victims are being exploited.

Not sure what quality assurance is being used by BBC in these pieces, but wording is v important. It is irresponsible to use "advisers" or "lawyers" without caveating that these are *fake* advisers, or people posing as legitimate advisers/lawyers. as’https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crl19dzdd38o

It's really sad to hear that people needing urgent advice are exploited by rogue immigration advisers. Action should be taken against these "sham lawyers". But if independent, legitimate and free legal advice was more widely available, people would be less likely to turn to these bad faith actors👇

Pink graphic that reads: AdviceUK responds to the BBC report on rogue immigration advisers. Note to click the link in thread to read the full statement.

We are really saddened to hear people desperately needing advice are exploited by rogue immigration advisers charging extortionate fees for poor and negligent advice. The impact on individuals can be catastrophic.

LGBTQ+ asylum seekers already face significant barriers in evidencing their asylum claims. It is critical for vulnerable individuals to have access to accredited, free, independent, accessible advice about immigration and asylum issues in order to make informed decisions.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

You'd think this whole bizarre affair would be a far bigger story

And there it is:

Pub landlady blasts 'tight-fisted' Labour MP for only ordering starter Karen Errington, the chef-owner of the Rat Inn in the hamlet of Anick, near the Northumbrian town of Hexham, didn't name the allegedly parsimonious politician.

Labour MP gets dragged publicly by a pub landlady for having the audacity to go into her pub, order food and spend money. Honestly no wonder decent people don’t want to go into public life. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It is absolutely incredible that HMRC thought (and still thinks) that it is acceptable to tell every sole trader in the country that they have to file digitally, but that HMRC isn't providing any means to do, that you probably need to get some software from somewhere, and that it sucks to be you.

"they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways"

Those feel like... pretty solid cards?

Pete Hegseth is a disaster of a defense secretary. It’s no surprise | Margaret Sullivan The former Fox host has misled the public, prayed for violence and clashed with the press. This is not a serious military leader

"With his bloodthirsty utterances, his fierce loyalty to Trump and his appalling inability to manage this huge moment in world history, Hegseth is every bit the disaster that anybody sensible could have seen coming," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

So when Reform accepts £4 million from this man, are they sure of where this money actually coming from? A man convicted of running a platform deliberately designed to hide the origins of money is now pouring cash into British politics. Red flag, red flag, red flag.

Ben Delo isn't just a "billionaire expat" with a soft spot for Farage. In 2022 he was found guilty of serious criminal charges in the United States. American prosecutors said he deliberately built a dodgy crypto platform designed to help people hide dirty money. He admitted as much in court.

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

This is so well done. 👌

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

A mind-breaking muddle of news this morning: Humans going further than ever before in space and a lunatic president openly threatening war crimes at home. The sublime and the degenerate. Hard to keep it all in your head at once.

What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses? Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses? Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

"Matthew Goodwin has been paid a salary of up to €10,000 a month [from Hungary's state-funded MCC], according to leaked documents obtained by Hungarian investigative journalists Direkt36 and reported by the Good Law Project"

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.
