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.

When Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister, failed to pay stamp duty on the purchase of a second home, Tice said her position was "morally completely indefensible" and that she would resign if she had "any moral decency".

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.

Morally completely indefensible.

Farage should sack Richard Tice immediately.

Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them.

Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and it’s turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.

Keir Starmer abandons plans to cancel council elections: headline in The Times

A welcome u-turn from the government and a welcome change from Steve Reed's soundbite about fixing potholes being more important to people than democracy.

My motion in Parliament on Monday to kill the cancellation will now not be required!

you have missed out the County elections..

Local Elections are back on.This includes West Sussex County Council elections. We are ready. @chichesterlibdems.bsky.social

I am on Twitter for the comedy. Is that okay?

Government abandons plans to delay 30 local council elections in May – UK politics live The government was warned by its lawyers that such a move could be illegal as it pledges an additional £63m to help councils with reorganisation

Elections to West Sussex County Council are confirmed to be going ahead in May 2026.

@matthaig.bsky.social Saw A Boy Named Christmas at Chichester Festival Theatre last sunday. A triumph by you and the theatre
Brilliantly directed by Dale. Just realized gave "The Life Impossible" to my wife for Xmas.

On Christmas Eve I wanted to send best wishes to everyone. With a special shout to residents in Chichester District.

It’s time to end the stitch-up.

The government must stop looking for excuses, stop asking the councillors beyond their mandate for permission to hold elections, and simply allow the people of Sussex to have their say.

At a time when trust in politics is already dangerously low, this further corrodes it by treating Sussex voters with contempt. It is simply unacceptable for unpopular Labour and Tory officials to collude in this way to deny the public their democratic right to vote.

The whole process has been a shambles. First, the May 2025 county elections were delayed with a promise of a new Mayor. Then, the government cancelled those Mayoral elections. Now, they are inviting the Sussex Tories to help them finish the job by 'requesting' a further delay to the county elections

Millions could see county council elections delayed again The government is expected to argue that the delay is needed because councils need more time to complete a reorganisation process.

This is a democratic farce. The government is essentially asking Conservative council leaders if they would like to grant themselves an extra year in power. It is like a teacher asking a student if they’d prefer to skip their exams because they aren’t ready.

🟢Rescue complete
Last night, in the dark, the Oyvon team rescued 27 people who were in distress on a rubber boat.

The group were in shock, and as one of them told our team, "If you hadn't rescued us, we would have died."

Thank you

The death of Dame Patricia Routledge is so sad. She has been a long time resident in Chichester and did a lot for the community. An outstanding actress who quietly gave so much back.

Delighted to attend the Goodwood Health Summit yesterday. Some inspiring ideas from excellent speakers

@simonoking How could you deliver such a disappointing forecast for the weekend. Today when I have to work.... light breeze ..... sunny (well almost). Come on where is our Indian summer?

Farron drapes himself in flag as Lib Dems seek to reclaim patriotism The Lib Dems are urged to stop being squeamish about national pride, at their annual conference.

This is how we deliver a better, hopeful future - by being proud of who we are and never giving up our identity.

In Sussex, and the whole UK, we stand for unity over division, tolerance over hate, and hope over despair.
