What is the point of having purdah rules around by-election reporting? Absolutely sick the back teeth of the BBC promoting Reform! Their pretend justification for doing this previously was based on so-called popularity. But now Reform & Farage are clearly unpopular yet they continue. Disgraceful!
Now this looks like a great move. I hope this happens. We really need to kick the privatisation model out of the supply of our water once and for all. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The story in the Times today about Farage may well mean that the £5m was not in fact a gift, but a payment to compensate for lost income/services to his benefactors. I’m sure HMRC will be very interested in looking at this. To my reckoning he ought to have paid around £2.3m in income tax.
Wow!  Just have a read of this. The Guardian really going for Farage, Dubai Dicky Tice and Reform now! Excellent. Shame it’s taken such a long time, but at least we are getting there. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
The tangled financial web at the heart of Reform UK
Nigel Farage’s £5m gift, the Cottrell family’s links and donations, and Richard Tice’s business dealings form part of an increasingly clear nexus of relationships

Excellent as usual from John Crace. Well worth a read. The Reform downfall continues. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Excellent. Not looking good for old Fagash. And wouldn’t it just be spectacular if he lost to Count Binface in Clacton!
Andy Burnham is suggesting "honesty" in UK politics. OK, I'll start.... -Brexit has made us much weaker -Well-organised immigration is a boon and not a bane -big money in politics and our media is destroying the UK
Good grief! Is there nothing Reform can do that isn’t dodgy. In this case possibly illegal. These charlatans are never going to get into government. Far too much out there now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@denysvuika.wsocial.eu @alfredbrandt.wsocial.eu Good morning I hope you are well. You have been recommended to contact regarding an issue I am having. All my feeds have vanished apart from ‘What’s hot’ & ‘ following’ Could you have a look and see if you can restore my all previous feeds. Thank you😊
@wsocial.eu Good morning. All my feeds have currently vanished apart from ‘What’s hot’ and following.’ I think you are still in public beta, so maybe it’s teething troubles. Please could you have a look at my account and see if you can restore them. Thank you
Does anyone know how to contact W admin? All the choices at the top of my screen have vanished. Teething problems I guess as I think they’re still in public beta. Thanks in advance 😊
Absolutely fantastic seeing Farage’s egotistical tantrum backfire so spectacularly. He has ended up bringing into the spotlight all the many dodgy, possibly illegal in some cases, things he has done whilst simultaneously being less popular than a bin!
Definitely in favour of this. This is just a few families who have more than £100m of wealth. Well paid journalists will say it doesn’t work, but they’re just lackeys for their billionaire masters. Evidence shows that wealthy people do not actually leave. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Of course. As any sensible minded person would have done. One of the many reasons Farage should have disclosed it. One of the leading articles in the Guardian today, another nail in the coffin for the slippery little grifter I hope! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Really really enjoying Evolution on the iPlayer. I think Chris Packham is the perfect choice to present this. No one will be able to replace the outstanding Sid David Attenborough, but in my opinion Chris will be a worthy inheriter.
It would seem that Murdoch has decided to call time on Farage. One wonders what’s behind it? There will definitely be a plan – this isn’t being done on a whim. I wonder whether they’re going to then switch support to Rupert Lowe’s party?
Old news now I know, but did it ever come to light why Boris Johnson gave Charlotte Owen a place in the House of Lords? Surely the super injunction must have expired or been lifted by now?
Slowly but surely building up my profile here on W following people and being followed. It’s absolutely clear that the platform is free of bots & fake accounts which is going to be the game changer as it progresses. Also a respectful level of engagement & honesty, as would be expected. Good stuff!
This flowering plant - apparently it’s Hemp-Agrimony fills the areas of our garden we leave to run wild - we didn’t like it initially as it’s a bit thuggish, but this year it’s absolutely covered in Peacock butterflies. Glorious! 😊
So massive liar Cummings has suddenly popped up to try and help out old Fagash! The question is, why now? My guess; panic at Reform HQ with secret conversations between Farage & Cummings as to what to do! Whatever - it’s not going to work. Especially now. Farage is being seen for what he is!
