This is simply not true. Labour didn’t have to go right. They *chose* to go right. The big majority was a chance to reset everything back to sanity. Starmer chose the mad, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest route instead.

Tice ‘happy to put things right’ after ‘he failed to pay £100k in corporation tax’ Mr Tice said last year Angela Rayner would resign if she had “any moral decency” after admitting to underpaying stamp duty

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.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us.

And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The soulless, sociopathic orange cunt stands in his suit looking bored and devoid of intelligent thought whilst an Oval Office guest is collapsed on the ground behind him. Fellow guests, able to demonstrate more compassion than the pedo protector has ever mustered in his entire miserable existence, are helping the collapsed man. The photo captures the insipid, disdain Trump holds for any other human being not permanently kissing his fat, wrinkly ass. At least today is one day closer to his death.

Richard Tice's firm broke law by failing to pay
£91,000 taxes
The deputy leader of Reform UK owns a property investment company that did not pay tax on dividends before sending profits to a trust registered in Jersey

Richard Tice's firm broke law by failing to pay £91,000 taxes The deputy leader of Reform UK owns a property investment company that did not pay tax on dividends before sending profits to a trust registered in Jersey Gabriel Pogrund, Whitehall Editor Saturday April 11 2026, 8.30pm BST, The Sunday Times

Tice, a multimillionaire who has put his business acumen and success at the heart of his political career, owned more than 90 per cent of Quidnet personally and through various on and offshore entities he controlled. He added that he had received
"professional accountancy advice" and the revelations were "hardly a story" and "just an attempt to smear a successful businessman turned politician giving hope to millions of people".
The MP received some of the dividends in the form of shares, meaning he also continues to hold equity he would never have received had tax been correctly deducted.

Dick says he’s being unfairly targeted. He’s just a lovely multi-millionaire politician “giving hope to millions of people”…
by failing to pay tax, while claiming to give a shit about their lives and their public services.

“Moral decency” is for other people. Not special little rich-boy, Tice.

France 🇫🇷 doubles electrification support to €10bn/year through 2030 — EVs, heat pumps, industry.
The reason?

The Strait of Hormuz crisis making fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore.

Geopolitical shocks don’t just raise prices. They change what’s politically possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“Angela Rayner ‘dodged’ paying the correct amount of tax.

Her position is morally indefensible.

If she had any integrity, any moral decency she would resign.”

Thank you to Mike F Shaw.

Electoral fraud? Gerrymandering? Voter intimidation? Postal ballots? How much more transparent does it have to be, for them to see that Reform LTD is literally getting its talking points from the USA.

Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in the UK for crying out loud!

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year.

And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone.

“All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”
