Robert Jenrick's wife was warned that his campaign had accepted an unlawful donation of almost £40,000 from a convicted American fraudster, according to the Times. Police are investigating allegations that Jenrick's campaign illegally funneled the money to his campaign via a UK-based company

Harborne gave the Brexit Party £6 million in 2019 and was mentioned in the Panama Papers but luckily the UK has the memory of a goldfish... so nobody talks about that

And here’s a convicted criminal paying for Farage’s security long after he secretly accepted £5 million from Christopher Harborne supposedly to pay for his security.

Today’s GDP figures show the UK economy proved more resilient than expected in the first month of the Iran energy shock. But this resilience is unlikely to last. Higher oil and gas prices will feed through into bills, prices and confidence over the coming months. 1/2

Big shift in UK energy policy 🇬🇧⚡ The Energy Independence Bill aims to scale up homegrown renewables, speed up clean energy delivery, and strengthen long-term energy security by framing energy independence as a national security issue 🌍🔋 A push towards a more resilient grid is gathering momentum.

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

It is. Don't.

UK GDP per head grew by 0.6% in q1 2026 which is the fastest economic growth per capita in a quarter for 4 years. UK GDP growth itself is fastest of the 6 G7 countries that have reported so far

This week in 1812 Spencer Perceval became the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated. Its the least interesting thing about him. Working with hedonistic lawyer James Stephen, the devout Christian engineered one of the first slavery bans in British territory WITHOUT Parliament's approval. /1

I also feel like media are shamefully feeding this frenzy- nothing like a good political drama to drive up ratings. I may be disappointed in Starmer - but, Christ, when I look at May, Johnson, Truss, Badenoch, or heaven forbid, Farage, I mean, seriously? The world is in chaos. UK shd not add to it.

Rod Stewart to King Charles on his visit with Trump: “Hello, sir. May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”

Bielsa, Aragon 🇪🇸 Photos submitted by #LUFC fans who made a pilgrimage to the village that shares the name of their hero. It's likely that Marcelo Bielsa's ancestors were colonial settlers originally from here. Historically, it was common to adopt your hometown as a surname.

You will miss Keir Starmer when he’s gone. Piece from me on how he was the perfect scapegoat for a dishonest nation spectator.com/article/youl...

This Labour government is tackling the housing crisis. Our Social Housing Bill will protect precious social housing stock and incentivise the building of new social homes. Our Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill marks the beginning of the end for the feudal leasehold system.

Well, I, for one, am very surprised at this

They're forever. The rock out of which they came is not.

Right eat right eat right eat right. Brush me daddy-o.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

The fact that this is cumulatively a recipe for an immediate return to the chaos of 2016-2024 should provide a competent government with plenty of ammunition.

I bet

Begs the question about just how much more Trump knew about the sordid deal between Farage and Johnson (Farage withdrawing 317 candidates where Tories favourites to win). Did he know about matters relevant to the current threatened litigation? Hubristic sharing in the clear between Farage and Trump?

Everyone is rightly interested in Harborne’s monetary support for Nigel Farage. But GB News provides him with an annualised salary of over a million pounds a year, 500,000 shares and unaccounted for millions in terms of free political advertising for Farage’s Party

Here's @rafaelbehr.bsky.social at the absolute top of his game.

Best oils in the world.

Nigel Farage is threatening to sue Ben Habib who says Farage took a £1m bribe to back Boris Johnson. But don't repeat this because it makes Nigel Farage 🤬

😂 Sam Coates makes an ABSOLUTE TIT of himself. Calls PM photos "fake news" then finds out they're from the Press Association. If you make a spurious, inflammatory point you never made about any official photograph before, to pitch yourself as the only reliable source, at a minimum check your facts.

youtube.com/watch?v=JVsB... This is nice. For Kier. Should also be for found-£5m-down-the-settee Farage. A-ha. Barely Hanging On. 2000

More sleaze from the biggest sleazebag we have.

“The question is not simply what the optimal fiscal framework looks like, but how reform can be sequenced in a context of elevated borrowing costs and heightened market sensitivity”. V interesting, lots to agree with. renewal.org.uk/articles/a-n...

Louise Haigh's essay in @renewaljournal.bsky.social is a substantive intervention from Labour's soft left. She wants "not to abandon fiscal discipline, but to redefine it, so that it supports ... the long-term renewal the UK economy". Some thoughts below. renewal.org.uk/articles/a-n...

You don't need to "unify the country" to win elections. You just need 35% of the vote & ignore everyone else - as Thatcher knew. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you're immensely wealthy, and you dodge millions in tax, that's totally fine. If you're not wealthy, and you try and save a bob or two on tax or tax advisers, the Gods will strike you down. Them's the rules in Britain and Rayner and Polanski have only themselves to blame.

I just posted this to Instagram and I’m leaving it here too in case you need to see it….

That would pay for about 220 hip operations. Nice work Nige.

Suck on this voters for "change"

Sorry if you’ve seen this already: I spoke with a US resident Doctor about private healthcare. One scenario: Me:”What happens when your insurance cover ends (chronic disease eg cancer)”? Dr: “You use your savings” Me: “And when they run out?” Dr: “ First they make you bankrupt and then you die”
