As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.
War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

This isn't accidental oversight by our media. It's malicious complicity.
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
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.
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.

It doesn't take a forensic accountant to work out whose interests Nigel Farage really serves
NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.
First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.
Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics
The total tax that Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice’s companies avoided through onshore and offshore entities, or simply failed to pay, in relation to Quidnet now amounts to almost £800,000.
If the #JCB Family of Multi-Millionaires are so hard up to pay proper Inheritance Taxes, why are they able to donate SO MUCH MONEY to #Reform Party?
Oh ... so they have expectations of #Reform helping out the Multi-Millionaires?
Right. Noted.
"Party of the People", eh?🤮🤮
📌 ICYMI — Reform UK Energy Prize Winners Had Nominated Party’s Own Branch Chair
As Greater Manchester Police confirm they are reviewing a complaint into the prize draw, can reveal that the party's Wigan branch chair – nominated by the winners – was present at the doorstep prize ceremony
Since Nuremberg in 1945, international law has established that the "wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity" is a punishable war crime.
No serious international lawyer would deny that this is what Israel is doing in South Lebanon.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed
This is not a 'masculinity crisis', it's a misogyny crisis. This is not a problem with 'masculinity'-- millions of men model positive masculinity every day. This is a problem of male violence. Stop calling it 'masculinity'.

Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens.
Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth.
Do you think Marco will now self-deport?
So as Reform UK announce their plans for the "biggest benefit cuts ever", whilst cutting taxes for the wealthiest, their Treasurer has just sold his Chelsea Mansion for a record £275million

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.
Translation:
"I started something I can't finish and broke something I can't fix so I'm going to walk away and pretend it's your fault"
Great question. The problem, of course, is that every other journalist in the room didn't keep asking it until they got an answer.
As the police find no evidence whatsoever of illegal family voting or voter coercion in the Gorton and Denton by-election, the BBC should ask themselves why, on the morning of the result, they gave so much airtime to these absurd and obviously racist claims from Nigel Farage
Screenshot of a Times article covering McMurdock’s past.
Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner.
Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again:
James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner.

“This isn’t just about my livelihood – it’s about justice for the lough before there’s nothing left for the next generation.”
The slow murder of Lough Neagh—the largest lake on the island of Ireland & across the British Isles—is a tragedy and a travesty.
Go go Declan Conlon.
Reform UK Scotland’s manifesto launch had not begun before a transphobic comment was thrown at me from the gathered crowd, writes Steph Paton ✍️
Fascinating thread
This is perfect. Honest Bob too stupid to sustain his own insincerity
Bloody hell. From secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as ‘think tanks’ (who continue to dominate our discourse despite Liz Truss demonstrating the dangers) to a secretly-funded political party. Should have seen that coming.
NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere.
Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating.
Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins.

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.
