This parrot turned up in our garden two days ago. He's a male (Red Head) Australian King Parrot who's escaped from somewhere. He seems quite calm around people as long as you don't get too close, so we've been putting out food for him.

Politico: "Greater Manchester Police are reviewing a complaint about Reform’s competition to offer voters the chance to win free energy bills for their street." (The prize appeared to go to Reform party members)

Could this be a year in which Orban, Bibi and the GOP majority in the House are all pushed out?

Orban: “Too many people are voting” — the plaint of kleptocratic vote suppressors and gerrymanderers the world over… And yes I am looking at you GOP

It’s privatisation by stealth. But you can help stop it in its tracks. Tell GMPF and @tamesidecouncil.bsky.social to walk away from predatory US profiteers. 👇Sign our petition.

BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, already owns 65 NHS GP surgery buildings. Now it wants to expand its UK empire by buying more NHS property, in a new venture with Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF). 1/2

Good morning!

It would be pretty bloody hilarious if a big Brexiter reason for leaving the EU (“We’ll be forced to join an EU army”….in fact we had a veto so another big fat lie) turns out to be a big fact reason for choosing to rejoin.

As Hungary votes, would recommend this piece about how Viktor Orban has used public money to bankroll an international ultraconservative network - including Roger Scruton cafes and €10k a month for failed Reform candidate Matt Goodwin democracyforsale.substack.com/p/orbans-brits

To my friends in Hungary: A világ veled áll, miközben visszaszerzed, ami a tiéd

😸🇬🇧😸🇬🇧😸🇬🇧😸🇬🇧 Whoah ~ Westminster ‘Spoons is posh, innit!

Catastrophically wrong and unforgivably dishonest about Brexit. Catastrophically wrong and unforgivably sycophantic about Trump. All the same dismal people. Doing such long-term harm. Let’s never give them our time or our votes again.

Another altruistic crypto billionaire donates to Reform to help rebuild public services…. As if. This is pure corruption. Buying power and influence, in a bid to loosen regulation and make more money. For themselves. They couldn’t give a shit about the country. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The real headline: crypto crook (who pleaded guilty to breaking US money laundering rules) plans to try and buy UK politics www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

“He must be stopped. That is the task of all right-thinking people, from the lowliest campaigner to the highest world leader.” And those who crawled up his backside must be stopped too. That’s you, Farage and Reform, and every rightwing ghoul that enabled you. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

“Not only is Reform taking large amounts of money from an industry with a big interest in changing UK Govt policy, but that industry is also one with major links to organised crime, terrorism and foreign dictatorships.” The corrupt stink of Reform is overwhelming. open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

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.

Operation Epic Fuckup. Simples.

Good Morning & Happy #SocialistSunday Simunch sir. 🙏✊🏻☮️ I don’t think Israel was ever invited. There is no love lost between the terrorist state of Israel & Pakistan. pakistan has never recognised Israel or will until there is an accepted functioning State Of Palestine. #ToriesGone646 #FreeIran

If the police are investigating Farage’s Energy Giveaway Stunt they need to do the job properly. Not like his house, breaking election rules and all the other stuff he’s been accused of and amounts to zilch. #DoTheJob

Yesterday an Oxford accountancy firm gave us 24 hours to take down an article which said they'd knowingly filed false tax returns. Today they're sending bizarre emails saying I have to give them my phone number or they will "get it from Government".

An update on the attempt by a tax barrister to sue me for £8m. Last month, the High Court threw out the claim. The Court then made a highly unusual order: Mr Kamal was required to pay all of our costs, £146,644. And today I received payment in full.

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

Among Reform UK’s biggest donors is the Crypto billionaire Ben Delo, who was handed a fawning spread in the Telegraph this week to explain why he is giving £4m to the party. What is buried in the piece that Delo is a convicted criminal who pled guilty to violating money laundering law in the US
