😂 So that's why - lol

Tice ‘happy to put things right’ after ‘he failed to pay £100k in corporation tax’ Mr Tice said last year Angela Rayner would resign if she had “any moral decency” after admitting to underpaying stamp duty

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.

London, Covent Garden

Headline: Richard Tice’s firm broke law by failing to pay £91,000 taxes

Morally completely indefensible.

Farage should sack Richard Tice immediately.

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

Because people who can afford private healthcare think they’re exempt from needing it. However, if you have an emergency during childbirth (for example), the private sector won’t touch you.

It's no coincidence at all, that each time there has been a cost of living crisis, that the very rich, get fantastically richer. These increased prices go somewhere, and that is into the coffers of the very rich. These parasites are sucking the life out of us.

Newly unearthed Nigel Farage videos reveal support for rioter, neo-Nazi event and far-right slogans Exclusive: Analysis of more than 4,000 of Reform UK leader’s paid-for Cameo videos also shows they contain misogynistic remarks and antisemitic conspiracies

Farage has sold videos of himself endorsing a neo-Nazi event, repeating extremist slogans supporting a man convicted over his involvement in a far-right riot etc

But don't worry Nige will be along in a moment to blame it all on the BBC, or Coutts, or refugees...

Spring is in the air.

The worst danger of AI isn't that it exploits creators, nor that it guzzles energy, wastes water and hands power to an undeserving elite, but that it severs our links to each other. It discourages conversation, spontaneity, empathy, critical thinking: everything that makes us better than machines.

Museums across the UK bring huge social and economic value, promote citizenship and community cohesion.

But as councils are put under ever-increasing pressure, council-run museums are at risk of closure. Government must increase funding - it’s the ethical and financially prudent choice.

I still think about this a lot.

Woh, oh, oh, oh….

“Reform’s team of men repeatedly telling women how they should lead their lives should be concerning to everyone”. Damn right.

Had the TV on in the background. Lots of Blair at a podium (didn’t take much notice). Husband at the time phoned from work to see if I had the news on. Then the 2nd plane then hit. Devastating.

The last chance for them to asset-strip the country?

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!

Reform MPs Accused of Pandering to Putin After Skipping Russian Interference Debate Nigel Farage's party refused to attend the debate, called after more than 100,000 people signed a petition demanding a public inquiry into Russian interference in British politics

🔴Reform MPs Accused of Pandering to Putin After Skipping Russian Interference Debate

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

Love the name

Can we also look very hard at Epstein/Trump/Bannon - Farage

Ok UK media - oh so scandalised by Mandelson - when are you going to be scandalised by US interference in our democracy? Epstein, Farage, Bannon, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Trump, Brexit, Heritage Foundation, the funding of far right populism to collapse our govts….??
After you’ve helped their collapse?
