I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".

Yesterday we had a journalist post on Threads to say the press doesn't like Labour and holds Labour to higher standards than other parties.

It confirms what we all knew and see every day.

But shocking that someone in the media bubble actually said it out loud!

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

"She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide..."

"One of her children recently enlisted in the military...

I wonder why people who profess to be horrified by the practice aren’t shouting their delight from the rooftops…

Moment Nigel Farage henchmen manhandle disabled OAP in parking row Henchmen working for the divisive Reform leader were seen on camera manhandling a retired engineer who was trying to park in a disabled spot to drop off his wife in Shetland

Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.

Lovely People.

Ladder pullers

Hurting vulnerable children to punish the church, whose leader dared speak out against Trump's ridiculous war.

Reminder: there's no point doing a deal with him, no matter how advantageous, because you have no way of trusting he will stick to his word.

James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

I have no words for this. This is so utterly inhumane, so depraved, so mind boggling as to defy belief. But we must believe it because the evidence is overwhelming. The Israeli Military is doing this. #Israel is doing this. And the US/EU is tacitly supporting this in all our names.

‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.

It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

What a great initiative 💚 Hopefully other Councils will follow.

Rotherham Council replaced 8 miles of mowed grass with wildflowers.

They saved £25,000 in mowing costs a year and bees, butterflies, and birds showed up almost immediately.

Repost this if trans people are welcome and safe with you!

Once again, ta da! here's my favorite poster...

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

“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.”
(Dick Tice, Reform Ltd)

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

What a lovely coincidence that our competition was won by “staunch Reform UK Wigan Branch Members”.

Daily Mail social media image claiming: It’s grim when your child is banned from bringing home a picture of Jesus to plaster across the fridge door

I debunked the original headlines about these school guidelines when they first came out a couple of weeks ago.

But then the Daily Mail pushed this on Facebook over the Easter weekend, so I felt the need to address that too!

Charity cleared after false claims online over migrant welcome project Watchdog finds allegations against City of Sanctuary UK were misleading after complaint from Tory MP

The Tory MP Gavin Williamson made a formal complaint against City of Sanctuary

However, in a finding published on Tuesday, the regulator rejected Williamson’s complaint and said the charity had been the victim of a baseless misinformation campaign

Don't baffle her with science and complicated words.

The 12 labours of Hercules were a doddle compared to Farago's camapign trail.

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.

Super thread

Here I am with Hungary's authoritarian leader Viktor Orban. Just two guys brought together by their shared love of Vladimir Putin.
