Richard tax-cheat Tice. And remember when Farage’s partner bought his Clacton house somehow, so he could avoid paying taxes on it? That is all Reform UK Party Ltd exists for: money.

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

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

We live in the stupidest fucking timeline.

"I'm politically homeless." -Joe Rogan, 10 days ago.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

'When the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom makes a bad decision it always seems that others must take the blame.' Excellent summary of the increasing political weakness of Starmer's position over Mandelson @davidallengreen.bsky.social emptycity.substack.com/p/the-decisi...

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

We shovel $10bn per year into the pockets of offshore companies to buy fuel - and that was before prices went nuts. You could easily employ every unemployed young person in NZ for $10bn - and buy thousands of solar panels.

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Every word of this by @stephenkb.bsky.social is true. It's not written out of spite, bias or personal animus, it's just a cold, hard look at reality. Starmer does not have the mindset or skillset to be an effective PM. That does huge damage to the government. He will go. The only question is when.

It was in the public domain that Mandelson had been fired from the Cabinet twice, that he was Epstein's friend, that he'd stayed in Epstein's house while Deputy PM, that he'd been a lobbyist for 15 years, and more. It was in the note prepared for the PM, too. So…what game are we playing here?

I wonder how many people will end up getting fired to maintain the artificd that Keir Starmer didn't know who Peter Mandelson was when he gave him a prominent public service job.

Jaw-dropping account of the 27-year-old tyro who is spearheading the State Department assault on America’s European allies. It’s telling that he and other MAGA warriors denounce restrictions on free speech everywhere but in Hungary or Russia or Belarus. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/w...

If we are taking the government's own claims at face value, Starmer apparently found out about this on Tuesday but did not tell his own Foreign Secretary, who only then found out about it 48 hours later from a media inquiry. This is not a serious government.

I am planning on appointing someone who has publicly resigned twice in scandal. They resign a third time in even bigger scandal. The fallout should, however, not include me, the person who made the big call in the first place. Totally untenable.

I'm truly not sure which is worse. If Keir Starmer was informed and is lying about it or that he is so absent as PM that important decisions are taken for him by officials. At least lying about what he knew, while intolerable, would show there is someone in charge and taking an interest.

How many more people are going to have to resign for Keir Starmer's decision to ignore the advice of every single person who told him not to appoint Peter Mandelson?

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Rarely prouder to be a Green

Trump threatens to end US-UK trade deal because UK won't join his illegal Iran war. There is no special relationship. It is subservience to the US. Don't make agreements with Trump. He doesn't honour them. The King's visit should be cancelled. UK must rejoin the EU, build alliances with others.

Can confirm

Reform, in theory, could have been a gift to Labour: they divided the Right-wing vote. All Labour had to do was govern in a way that held their Center-Left coalition together Instead, they chose to act foolishly and blow up their own coalition in pursuit of a voting base with no interest in them

Just two weeks before lecturing **the Pope** on theology, JD Vance confirmed his ecclesiastical expertise by telling the world that aliens are in fact "demons".

So the whole fawning at the court of King Trump, the mad OTT announcement of an undefined trade deal, the Mandelson affair, the invitation from King Charles, and soon the royal visit to the US.... all of it for nothing because we don't follow Donald C*** down into his self-made abyss of insanity.

The UK "condemns" Israel for expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank. While refusing to take even the simplest step to censure Israel, which would be to ban illegal settlement goods from the UK. Even that step, Hamish Falconer refuses to implement. #DCUKparliament

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

JD Vance has effectively allied himself with fascist Russia against democratic Ukraine - and is proud of it.

Just a fundamentally unserious bigot.

The UK urgently needs to follow France's lead here. Once Palantir-pushers like Wes Streeting, Peter Kyle and Keir Starmer are gone post-May election wipeout, the next Labour government must make detachment from US tech dependence a priority.

As we explain in the piece, Italy and the UK's problem is gas setting the electricity price so often. Reduce the time it sets the price as quickly as possible.

Spent less on insulating consumers and businesses. Investment in electrification will reduce future fiscal risks. www.cer.eu/insights/ene...

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

NEW: Alf Dubs, Kindertransport refugee & Labour peer, says he — had more success on immigration policy under Tories than he does now — hasn’t met w Mahmood whereas Tory home secs used to invite him to meet — agrees w Rayner: immigration changes are “unBritish” www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Historic collaboration between the US and Iran begins: working together they will destroy the global economy by blocking the Gulf entirely. Who had this on their 2026 bingo card?

In absolutely chef’s kiss timing, Matthew Goodwin is due to speak at Orbán’s in-house propaganda group MCC *today* Badloss strikes again.

Actually — Nixon historian here — the literal origins of the “Madmen Theory” is Nixon trying to convince the Soviet he’d nuke North Vietnam. Also: Nixon and Kissinger’s illegal bombing of Cambodia was one of his original impeachable offenses by Congress.

"Nah-ah - Iran isn't doing the blocking, we're doing the blocking!" A piddling toddler's intellect trapped in the body of an 80-year-old (adjudicated) rapist's.

If Trump really wants to show the Iranians what's what, he should threaten to bomb US airbases in the region, too.

They really think no one can build a guillotine anymore.

It is almost, almost, impressive just how Labour have taken the massively dysfunctional and incompetent Home Office and managed by dint of policies and rhetoric to make it even more dysfunctional and incompetent. It is a true testament to how hostile they are to migrants. archive.today/07Hdr

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

The Fascist International: Putin gives the signal and all chime in.

I lol'd at this.😆

Just watch him vote for JD Vance in 2028.

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺
