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

As the price of natural gas spikes across Europe for the fourth time in the last five years remember those extremely clever people in Reform and the Conservatives who want to abandon renewable energy and rely even more on gas 🤡 🤡
#onebattleafteranother what a bizarre film.
im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization
@bbcstever.bsky.social thank you so much for your work in Moscow.
I went there in the early 2000s and fell in love with it, too.
The British mainstream media is busy trying to oust Starmer, again, and yet they seem not at all interested in a much bigger and more serious Epstein story involving Farage, Putin, and Brexit.
Fortunately, @bylinetimes.bsky.social is.
I was literally reminiscing about this yesterday!
I remember it being the cat's pajamas when it came out. You'll have to let me know if it's as good as I remember :)
On the 2nd watch, the #F1 film really is fun
And the right wing moaned "Angela Rayner didn't pay stamp duty and did the tax payer out of £8k". I wonder if this will draw such outrage?
If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?
A meme Top half of the image is a still from Disney's The Three Musketeers, showing four Musketeers standing together. Bottom half of the image is Star Trek TNG's Captain Picard's face during the well-known "there are four lights" scene.
It's way too early for me to be laughing this hard. 🤣
Guy has a fivehead
#f1 booooooooooooo roll on 2026
This is not only exceptionally good work, it is also presented in a very clear visual way. Bravo, Sky News!

'Perhaps a politician saying they can't stand the sight of black people is a racist, or perhaps it's just realistic to say that black people shouldn't be shown in public. Tune in this evening to find out....'
Wealthy people paying a lowly Sherpa to drag them to the top of Everest, is a good metaphor for the real world.
You've gotta read quite a long way through this before you reach the bit where the Greens are polling level with Reform among British Indians www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gutted that Robert Redford has died. Spy Game is one of my favourite films. It still feels topical and relevant 25 years later, and a lot of that was down to him
Who could possibly have foreseen?

On the same day in the Telegraph:
Finding it mildly entertaining that those who questioned the Covid vaccines for not knowing what's in it, and amplifying the side effects, are more than happy to jab themselves with Ozempic et al without understanding the implications
If your news content teaches you that Keir Starmer is somehow personally responsible for a woman committing a crime, pleading guilty, and going to prison then it's probably not news at all, it's propaganda.
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists
Ooooooo you'll have to let me know how it is!
