“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 🤔

And here is the Spiked gang (Clare Fox, Brendan O'Neill, ex-Revo Communist Party) jumping to the defence of Rod Liddle. This is the go-to right-wing cliche abt critics of Liddle: calling them the "Be Kind mob." Something you could never call Liddle or Spiked.

Whether you're smart, special, unique, very sensitive, loving,caring, funny and a good mother is solely the judgement of others. Sarah Ferguson and Andrew "Too honourable" Mountbatten Windsor are a perfect match.

The national soap opera that is ‘Nigel Farage’ has a lot, lot longer to run yet. And so, I’m finding it difficult to think of a single candidate in the entire country that could defeat Nigel Farage in the subsequent Clacton by-election? @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com , perhaps?

"I wasn't in politics." Then why does the timeline tell a different story? 🤔

What better way to get everyone to *NOT* be focused on the substance and details of the incredibly murky financial affairs of Nigel Farage, Richard Tice and the Reform UK Limited company. It’s all just distraction tactics from them at this stage. They’re just playing for time now.

AOC: All of this is a distraction.

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

‘Hey! Look over there!’

Richard Tice has given millions to keep Reform afloat - why?

Reform UK is a private company owned by Nigel Farage. But leader Tice has ploughed more than £2m in cash and interest-free loans into the populist right party

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

Reform’s DOGE scheme going really well, I see.

Correction they spent £600,000 on just 8 Parking spaces for Reform Councillors.. I did a massive typo 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

Personally I think there are "legitimate questions" about COVID. Like why Michael Gove and Matt Hancock got away with giving away contracts to their mates. And why the fuck Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman haven't been prosecuted.

The Al law in California says fake content has to identify itself. Truth Social just filed for an exemption on religious grounds.

They’re already rapidly searching for his replacement — someone too stupid to realise they’re being played by the very establishment they rail against until it’s all too horribly late for them. Braverman therefore becomes Nigel Farage’s natural replacement as party leader.

thattimwalker.bsky.social@thattimwalker.bsky.social · 4d ago

Farage wants us all to believe the political establishment has it in for him. The reality is the political establishment now recognises — in his much too overt greed — he’s showing them all up and has to be jettisoned.

What on earth is wrong with these people?

But hang on. According to Nigel himself, didn’t the Speaker of the House tell Farage he shouldn’t have surgeries in Clacton?
