Back in 1973, Ted Heath the Conservative PM branded Robert Maxwell the unacceptable face of capitalism. Times may have changed but Donny would have given Maxwell a run for his proverbial money.

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.

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote Experts say Labour’s ‘halfway house’ approach risks losing support from progressives and ‘red wall’ voters

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote.

Brexit was secured with lies. It hasn't delivered any of the claimed economic benefits.

Post Trump world will be more polarized.

Nobody under the age of 28 had a say on Brexit.

Need another referendum.

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

Corporate capture of the state.

The Post Office with help from Fujitsu, accountants, lawyers illegally convicted postmasters for fraud.

£1.5bn+ compensation paid from public purse. Perpetrators paid ZERO.

No one charged/prosecuted for lying in courts. Fujitsu gets govt contracts.

Who governs?

Thames Water infrastructure average age is 79 yrs. 40% of assets are 100+ yrs old.

Water industry average is 56 years.

At current rate, it will take 700+ yrs to renew assets.

Since 1989 industry neglected investment, £88bn+ dividends paid, customers fleeced.

Privatisation isn't the answer.

So when Donald Trump said the Iran War was going swimmingly, he was referring to the crews of oil tankers.

I would like to make it clear that despite all the unpicking of the goings on between the various Gov Dept heads and Gov Ministers I have not changed my opinion from last year that Mandelson would be an unwise and unsafe appointment just on what was publicly known about him then.

This is the rhetorical equivalent of ‘the Nazis were actually left wing because they were called National socialists’

Meanwhile outside of Westminster bubble:
"Starmer is doing the best job that anybody could do, particularly internationally."

Tax Dodge Tice.

Brexit. British Exit from the EU. But also stands in my mind for British Exceptionalism. That of being as a country so different to say France or Germany or any other that we couldn't really be happy members of a bloc.

Which was always nonsense.

Don’t even think about sharing this. 🙏🏻

Just do it🤪🔥🔥🔥

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.

Opportunities to make lots of money. Why people engage in Networking.

Elon Musk is CEO of 5 companies actually.

And the response from the US “government” and the Republican Party will be…..

“Thoughts and prayers”

FFS
they are complicit in these deaths

In the style of Mrs Merton - So Nige (or any Reform MP), what was the real reason that you became a MP where there are endless opportunities to increase your personal wealth through new connections.

Profiting on your ill health
Deform are not your friend

Yep

Donald Trump is the most hated man on Earth!

Retweet if you believe this to be true!

I used to work with a few so called "aspirational" people back in the 1980s. Mostly wide boys and dubious ethics.

Funny how the Tufton Street Mafia's Tax Payers' Alliance never criticises Farage for being paid more than the Prime Minister

It doesn't take a forensic accountant to work out whose interests Nigel Farage really serves
