“By the following April, Reform no longer owed Tisun any money. Some had been repaid directly, but most of it, £613,000, had been covered by Tice converting the sum from a loan into a donation. There was no disclosure about how Tice was able to fund that decision.” Yeah, not shady at all 🤔

A green economy may also have some small chance of stopping us going extinct. Probably best to lead with “being alive”.
Caroline Lucas@carolinelucas.bsky.social · 18h agoI can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …
Hey! ICE! Get a subpoena for this: I hope you all die of lettuce induced volcanic shitting. Bunch of cowardly wankers.

As usual, Badenoch crams both feet in her mouth to defend a Tory candidate with a neo Nazi history, only hours before he withdraws from the fight. She really is an idiot. Defending a neo Nazi. Now she keeps him as an advisor; tells you everything you need to know about Kemi.
