REFORM MP Richard Tice says the British people are being ripped off by the renewables industry. Meanwhile, he owns a business that anticipates a six-figure return from solar panels. Can you believe anything this guy tells you?

I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016! (fagpacket maths follows) on.ft.com/4hzyvbJ

The right wing media ecosystem has become little more than an echo chamber amplifying whatever absurd conspiracy the other has made up without even a vague pretence of journalistic standards or integrity. Pathetic. My take on the story here: youtu.be/8N-DWUHRM_s?...

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

…and confirmed by a Musk ally. I’m sick of these Brexiteer Brits who are keen to sell us off to the highest bidder in the US. Join European Movement everyone - and let’s build the resistance to this.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

UK law on political donations is weak. It can't prevent foreign/dirty money from funding politics. It enables the rich/corporations to hijack politics; It can't prevent Elon Musk from funding right-wing parties. Must ban all donations - cleanse politics. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

Nothing says 'I'm fighting the elite' like begging for donations from the world's richest man, while taking out a part-time job selling gold bars

Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk just called Tim Montgomerie from Reform "Timmo". Timmo then called Tommy Robinson a "rough diamond". Just two guys shooting the breeze. Will be the same when Farage swings by the show tomorrow... Rancid.

Pleased that the new Labour Government will scrap the deadline to record forgotten footpaths. This will give hard pressed councils time to record footpaths and bridal ways properly helping guarantee access to the countryside. A good move. www.bbc.com/news/article...
