Nothing says “I’m fighting the elite for the average person” like avoiding paying the same taxes that average people pay Both Farage & Tice have used tax avoidance schemes Plus Farage spoke at an international conference aimed at helping the global rich elite minimise taxes & move wealth offshore

Two-thirds of UK news articles about wildfires this summer haven't mentioned climate change

Analysis from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit adds to concerns that national newspapers are failing to link this summer's extreme weather to climate change and the net-zero policies necessary to mitigate its drastic effects.

My thoughts on the press that hounded Jason Arday to his death… And my personal message to Julia Hartley-Brewer.

Tice is such a prejudiced, small-minded little man. He wears his ignorance with actual pride and becomes aggressively vengeful when challenged. Someone this dim but this entitled shouldn’t have a hope of being in power. That’s how our country is broken… people like him being able to eye up govt.

Good piece in capturing some of the ways that Arday became both a symbol and a pawn within what Goodall calls "the ceaseless, airless, brainless culture war".

“But just hours after Farage suggested the possibility of working with Estonia on this, the nation ruled out any deal”… confirming that, yet again, Farage is just making up shit as he goes along… Frankly embarrassing to ever believe a single word he says. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...
