In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift. The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics. *If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

NEW: Reform UK volunteer George Jones who left Farage's campaign in 2024 after undercover reporters showed him calling the Pride flag “degenerate” and suggesting LGBT people are paedophiles has quietly returned to run its Patrons’ Club www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmkM...

ex-Reform deputy leader Ben Habib claims the 2019 election was a stitch-up; that there was a financial deal between Johnson and Farage for Farage to stand down his Brexit party candidates In return – Habib said – Harborne gave them £1m a piece

He's only just found out about it because the house was in Clacton.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

Taxpayer-funded security and a £5 million gift? Nigel Farage can't have it both ways. If the public was already footing the bill, what exactly was the £5 million for?

"Reform UK platformed and celebrated a woman who publicly called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be set on fire. Yet the moment Nigel Farage is on the receiving end of hostile language, we're suddenly told words matter after all." via Truth Against Hate

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

These are good local policies It is going to get nothing but harder to rule out Binface getting big party assistance. This is politics but that won’t stop Reform playing the anti-establishment card www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/cou...

We have a front runnner for the Democratic nominee

That’s grim but not devoid of humour

If the system is as hopelessly broken, rigged, and easily compromised as Trump claims, then by his own logic, his 2024 victory is completely illegitimate. He cannot simultaneously claim the referee is corrupt while proudly displaying the trophy they handed him.

I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.

Rep. Thomas Massie has announced he'll introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill to give state AGs, DAs, 'authorized state officers,' and victims the right to sue DOJ for "unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein-related records."

Of course that should be Grenfell

This times 1000

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

The fact that Ed Miliband is seen by some as a 'leftie' shows how far-right the Labour Party has become.

I know people who clung onto the Labour Party in the slim chance that after Keir Starmer things might have been different. Labour consistently revealing there's absolutely no plan for change. The puurpose is to maintain power & wealth for the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

It is pure coincidence that I said I wasn't standing for Parliament because I'd need “a million a year” to cover lost earnings, then I was given £5 million and immediately stood for election.

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gordon is better than Rashford Gordon has had a better tournament than Rashford I hope Tuchel makes that change at halftime all the same

If it turns out that Tuchel kept his preferred team hidden then he’s a effing genius That is of course only true if they win tonight

Current Chancellor, Rachel Reeve's speech prioritises helping the financial sector extract more wealth from our society. We need a chancellor who works for the country, not the city of London.

Are these men murderers and brigands?

This times a 1000 You don’t stand idly by whilst your friend and ally becomes the monster they once feared You tell them that the continued murdering of innocents is wrong. It was wrong in 1944 and it is wrong now.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

Plant those fucking trees!

Not all the illegal actions by this criminal regime are... permanent. Unringing the bell though may take decades.
