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:

I think liberals in the West need to understand that they have not stumbled across any kind of contradiction or hypocrisy in the Global far right. When they said “people have a right to free speech” they simply never saw racialised people as people to begin with 🧵
James O’Brien@mrjamesob.bsky.social · last yr.People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the ‘anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…
Violent men bedecked in 'protect women's spaces' using transphobia as justification to harass a women. None of this is surprising. The far right will instrumentalise any issue. The bullying and harassment are their core beliefs. Solidarity with Hannah Spencer, that must have been terrifying.
The UK should be at war with this war criminal scum and interning his British apologists.
Murton (Durham) Council By-Election Result: 🌹 LAB: 50.6% (+17.6) ➡️ RFM: 39.6% (-4.5) 🌍 GRN: 4.8% (New) 🌳 CON: 3.1% (-2.0) 🔶 LDM: 1.9% (-2.3) No Ind (-13.6) as previous. Labour GAIN from Reform. Changes w/ 2025.
Nigel Farage is already starting to become a vote loser for Reform. He'll never make it to the general election. Time for him to go now.
Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017. Vaccine programs completely eliminated it. Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

I’ve just joined the Labour Party. I’ve voted in every election, national and local, since I was 18 but it no longer seems enough given the onslaught from the biased media and populist far right.

Lord Carey fears the bishops risk “losing their legitimacy in public life” if they block the AD bill. Whatever your views on the bill itself, the idea of religious clerics who sit ex officio in parliament having 'legitimacy' to lose is plainly absurd. premierchristian.news/en/news/arti...
