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:
On 26 April, I plan to be on the start line of the London Marathon. I’m in my fifties, I’ve only been running for a few years, and this will be my first marathon. I’m doing it to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT).
Flawless comms all the way to the moon and now they’re back it’s glitchy. Earth world problems.
“Older than Bulletproof” is my new favourite unit.

I wish I’d told myself.
Wait, are you me?
I’m more interested in vox popping people and doing a Six Degrees of Twlldun test.
Nostalgia has run out. This is sooo bad.
This would definitely be better as a double act.
Another steam interlude: Paul on a tandem bike with a red squirrel enthusiast.
He’s helped deliver a calf. “Delivering a calf was no picnic. But this is.” Close up of scone.
I’m strangely nostalgic.
Oh now he’s being James Heriot.
He’s just driven a steam train. The soaring music makes me think this is an emotional highpoint. And the conclusion: a cheese sandwich.
Highlight so far is Paul in a signal box reading an old news story about an escaped baboon.
Big Merton fan but…
Race Across The World has already started so we’ve landed on Paul Merton doing a Portillo impression with a show about railways.
The teenagers have friends round so we’ve been banished upstairs, and both have colds so going out is, er, out. There’s an old TV, but the remote is awol. There’s only one option: terrestrial TV.

Existence-as-a-service
A detailed digital illustration of a Casio F-91W digital watch on a dark background, showing the time 09:25:38 on Saturday the 4th. The watch features the classic black resin case and band with blue accent lines and the iconic WR (water resist) badge.
This is absolutely beautiful and very well done.
